Where does OMac (or other Demon Defenders) sit on this list?

Anyone know where we can find these stats through Champion Data?

Surprising, Oscar should be well up there, has hardly been beaten all year. Starting to think all these stats CD are pumping are are complete junk.

    I don't really understand the point of including 2017. Why not include 2016 or go back as far as 2012 so we can make it even less relevant to this years in form players?

    Ignore Champion Data stats.  They are the worst.  They have always been fraudsters.

    Look at their annual AA teams based on their stats, or even just their teams of the week.  The teams are diabolically bad.

    It's included so they can get their 'darling' Alex Rance to the top of the list.

    I work for Champion Data. What do you mean fraudsters? We just call it as it is.

    Rance has had about 400 kicked on him this year and one on one gets shot out of a cannon.

    Number 1! Neville Jetta... Surely!

    King of the one-on-ones is Nev!

    Well then, dig out the Nev and Oscar data and give us a look.

    While your at it, tell us how the data is compiled.

    If he's King then i'd love to see training footage of him on Melksham, who is also the one on one king of the AFL! (From an admittedly small sample size of games)

    Deafening silence, how long will it continue?

    Very surprised to see them rating Rance 1-1.  He's been smashed this year when he was isolated and forced to man up.  Jenkins and Melksham smashed him.

    It’s a race between him and Dangerfield in the ‘look at me’ cup.

    I would back in Nev every day of the week JD. He will be All Australian back pocket this year!

    I flat out do not believe that these 'one on one' statistics are accurate.  To see Rance or McGovern in a one v one contest is rare.

    They are both exceptional players, but also get great support through bodying and blocking from their team mates.

    They wanted a minimum sample set... They have set it at 60 contests... given we are only 11 weeks into this year not every player will have reached that mark... 

    All of champion data's stats do this sort of thing. They look over 2 year periods because they dont want to draw conclusions based on small samples...

    The biggest problem with Champion Data is that they don't show us everything... only the AFL and the media have access to all the stats they record. Give that to the public and suddenly we would get some useful insight... (and some much worse)

    That Stats Pro thing (clearly in no way Pro but 'Yay Marketing!') on the AFL website is a very, very, small step in the right direction but then they made it Telstra only which [censored] over the rest of us... the next best thing is the prospectus and by the time the ball is bounced round 1 the prospectus is completely out of date..

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
