But did Dyson Heppel's negative metres gained set up his teammates for compelling attacks? If they did, maybe they were beneficial to his team.

All these new stats, like "percentage of scores from inside fifties that result from a drive from half back caused by a turnover after a hard ball get when the roof is closed" .... sounds like farnarkling.

Check how many times commentators in print and on radio/TV quote them. Do they really mean much?

I would love to know what stats the experts (as in the coaching panels) actually look at to know how their team is travelling.

I don't like Heppel. I'm jealous. I wish he played for us.

Every possession he gets sets the Bombers up for a forward thrust. Very like Pendlebury. Somehow he senses who is out by himself , and has time to direct a pass to him, setting up a dangerous attack.

The only player we have with comparable skills is Watts, but he doesn't get the ball as often.

Heppel marks well for his size, never fumbles, is deadly accurate in front of goals, and runs all day.

I hate his narcissistic dreadlocks, but admire his skills like mad.

Does anyone know what is Pendlebury's stat for metres gained? Interesting to compare to Heppel's.

Here are some useless stats. I have adjusted the MFC stats for the time spent on ground (matches times time on ground %). Shows you can make stats say anything. Interesting where some players rank.

Sorry can't work out how to post an excel spreadsheet

Samael you are a tease. You start with here are some useless stats, then nothing!

Half of me is annoyed, half is relieved, the other half couldn't care less.

Questions for anyone who actually knows.

1. Was Heppel injected?*

2. What is his contract status?

3. Is he happy at EssUndone?

If not injected and OOC he would be worth making a run for, however unlikely.

* supplementary question from WADA - if so, with what?

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. 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
