There are very good reasons to expect a far, far better on-field performance this year. 1. There are teams which are in dire circumstances. St.Kilda have lost Hayes, Goddard, Montagna, Milne and Da

I'm heading into the season with no great expectations... I think 8 wins shohld be the aim and been comptetive as we were last year. If our first half of th season last year is what out whole season is this year I'll be happy. Having said that we turn those close loses to port twice, doggies twice and then throw in a couple of improved efforts against the likes of brisbane and GWS then there's no reason we couldn't won 10 games.. The side had to learn how to play football to an AFL standard last year, most players on our list didnt know what was required and how to work hard both ways. I put our late season poor form down to players tiring. Another pre season under roos (which from all reports has stepped up) this side knows what to expect and how to deliver it.

I agree with you for a lot of stats but for inside-50 differential the correlation and importance is completely undeniable

I remember you bringing this up last year and trying to explain to people the importance of inside 50's. Mate, if they don't understand then don't worry about them. There is no point in having 500 disposals unless we get the ball inside 50 to score, these simpletons don't get it C&B.

Really? Teams that kick the ball into their forward line more than their opposition win more games?!

You've got to be kitten me!

C&B is right with this one so there's no need to argue it with him. We need to average at least 50 inside 50's a game to be close to the final 8.

Yeah, I should take more notice of stats like Inside 50 counts...

Maybe I should do a few threads on important KPIs and stats and stuff, and when I see improvement I will put it in my sig...

Or maybe I have been boring people for years with that stuff, I don't know, I can't remember, I cleared my cache...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
