Who are we better than ??



Recommended Posts

Watched the game, and there was a stat that caught my attention

- 18th in competition for average Inside 50s at 42.7 (52.3)

- 2nd in competition for average scores per forward entry (I couldn't find this stat online...)

- ?nd in competition for average score per opposition forward entry (anyone?)

If we can improve our I50s we seem to have the potency to make teams pay... means we'll only be better than midfields we can beat or break even with.

we are 2 midfielders away from that happening. Petracca is one. Need one more.

Pointless thread.

Are we "better than" Richmond? They are still a finals team.

At the end of the day it's all about who shows up on the day. We are better than every team if we play four quarters, play to our strengths, and stifle the opposition's area's of strength.

Blind optomism. Do not return to the Bailey and Neeld years.

The optimism in the Bailey years was completely justified though. We were beating teams by 100 points and yeah there was inconsistency but we all know Bailey and his department were victims of shocking boardroom mudslinging. We played really attractive footy and times and broke a membership record in 2011.

There is no nobility in being superior to your fellow man, the only true nobility is being superior to your former self.

for the time being nobility can take a back seat ...i just want a premiership :)

nOW THAT'S bs pAUL.. If one cannot enjoy one's social and economic superiority what is the world coming to? What is life all about? Why do you think I drive a Merc rather than a Toyota?

Look at Earl Hood for example - he even has a servant to put paste on his toothbrush!!

I am quite happy to remain superior.

Personally speaking,

anyone from Brighton,Romsey,Borewood,Greensborough,Ballarat,Perth,Tas,NZ,America ,UK Africa,Asia,Middle East,Europe.

Might be something to do with my French background.

But I do not consider myself better than chicks from South America.

They are my raison d'etre.

I understood your chick interest was more north of Australia Biff!! However, I must say it is difficult to determine the heritage of your Gat girls !

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
