according to leigh matthews on yesterday's pregame - per percentage, our goalkicking accuracy is the worst. best is port.

The Essendon match would have really boosted our ratings in this stat...

I though we were the most efficient relative to I50s or something like that too?

As with most facts from "Lethal", some substance but not entirely true. According to the official stats, we are bottom 4 but Essendon and GWS are slightly worse. As a comparison, Port, Dawks and North are the most accurate. Total goal accuracy difference between best & worst is around 6.5%. (Port 54.2%, Ess 45.4%).

We still have to straighten up though.

Are these stats online?

Are these stats online?

Available at http://www.afl.com.au/stats. Have to play with the options a little but the info is there.

Lethal might just be going off goals v behinds not goals vs goals missed. Still aside from the Geelong match we have mostly been pretty poor in front of goal this year. Dawes and Garlett (off the top of my head) would probably be the worst offenders in the forward line.

Again ..stats in isolation and associated relevant contexts mean nothing.

An irony of sorts is that the actual context is only really given at the end.

From here as much reverse interpretation can be made as are are points of the compass.

Best stats are arent stats..they're eyes. Just watching gives a far better idea of how a game is unfolding...or unravelling.

So much about stats is i feel incomplete . Just looking at the scoreboard....or indeed the Worm gives me a far better over view of whats happening.

Each to their own i suspect.

Lethal can go and ..........

Dear Lethal,

The Melbourne footy club, is case you haven't noticed, has gone through a vwery lean time in the last year or two.

It just seems more like decade really. On the odd occassion during a few games we kind of struggled to even get the ball into our inside 50 in the past.

Our inside 50 is now on the up, but for whatever reason you have decided to point out our shots on goals is the worst in the league. Can we pause for a moment, and pray for one miracle at a time. I can concede our ball skills are way below standard.

Our inside 50 wratio to scoring I believe to be wight up their with the top teams. So be thankful we are now getting our hands on the footy and one could say we are more competitive than in recent times.

Us MFC supporters don't have a lot to hang our hats on, so could we stop with all the negative vibes.Perhaps if you want to be more helpful to our cause, you might want to devote a bit more research on why and where we are missing shots on goal. Taking too many pot shots from the boundary?, perhaps too far out?, even trying kicking them with a gale force cross wind?.

Perhaps we put ourselves under pressure, and that split second required to steady beforehand might benefit us.

In closing thank god we manage to kick a few out of our bums at times, or we weally weally would be in dire straits.

From where we have been, I am just thankful our scoring on goal is on the up.

Thanks vwery,vwery much for your time to point out we are crapola once more.

Jeffy's set shots this year wont have helped, thankfully he scores the 'tricky' ones with ease

We've got players who can't hit a target 15 metres away by foot, but we'd be number one for best public speakers. What price do we put on that?

Do they have stats on hitting the post... we must be leading that. Also running into open goals and missing.

Would be great if Dawesy could "talk' the ball into his palms.

Jeffy needs to work on his set shots in the off season. Maybe have a chat to Lindsay Thomas.

A chill just went down my spine typing that last sentence.
