our average points against is 80. That ranks us 10th best defense.

BUT if you can indulge yourself to consider it an anomaly and remove the Eagles game

our average points against is 75

75 x 9 = 675

lowest scores against

Sydney - 659
Freo - 660
Port/WC - 685

so we'd be the third hardest team to score against in the league

If only we kept West Coast scoreless!

Well, no, the assumption is if we'd kept West Coast to the same average score as we have kept everyone else. It's an interesting point, I think. Other than one (spectacular) lapse, we've performed a total flip defensively.

Is this a late acknowledgement of Mark Whatshisname's work ? :-)

Can you do a bit of creative doctoring on our centre clearance stats? We're currently last. Do what you need to do to get us above Richmond.

We smashed Richmond 15 to 6.

Done.

Geelong as a team has only lost 17% of all one-on-one contests, clearly the leaders in the AFL - the Dees are next, losing 22% of contests

If you want to make the stats fairer bit no less pleasing, remove both the "best and worst" outliers.

When I do averages i prefer mine mean?

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w
