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: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
