It's a simplistic view but I just checked the stats for avg scores per game and divided it by avg inside 50s per game:

1 West Coast Eagles

2 Hawthorn

3 GWS Giants

9 North Melbourne

4 Richmond

12 Melbourne

7 Adelaide Crows

5 Collingwood

16 Geelong Cats

14 Gold Coast Suns

5 Sydney Swans

11 Fremantle

17 Port Adelaide

15 Carlton

7 Western Bulldogs

10 St Kilda

18 Brisbane Lions

13 Essendon

We come in 6th, scoring 47% of the time we go inside 50.

Not too shabby

h_h. I was going to ask how do we rate on I 50 numbers?

And AJ . How does our goal conversion rate (as compared with scoring rate) rank?

Was similar last year from memory. Strange. Would have guessed it was teams not committing as much in defence against us but it doesn't add up with the company we do and don't keep on that list.

Our skills are still appalling, we turn it over by hand and foot way to much coming out of the back half and through the middle.

If we can tidy this up we just might be dangerous.

We score well on the rebound when we can create fast ball movement. "Slingshot" J Brown was calling it during the Cats game, if we can break the press and get it out of our backline, we're very good at scoring...

IIRC, we were definitely high up in this stat in 2009 under Bailey.

I remember hearing about it in the last game of the season against St. Kilda and nearly falling off my chair.

Leading goalkickers: Robbo, Bate, Jurrah.

lol. Gif overuse in multiple threads. Capitols everywhere in this one.

You've obviously never read anything BBO posts, nor waded into the T$B$ thread.

I'm envious.

I find all of BBO's posts to be on accurate and completely topical, I don't know what you mean.

As for the T$BS thread, again, it is a bastion of knowledge and insight

regarding bananas.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    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
