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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
