Summary of the 2 teams - Last Round Statistical Comparison

* Note: Ave attributes and total players by games is from previous round.  Does not include Ins & Outs for this week.  Rough guide only.

Top 10 Players Last Round Comparison - Score / Rank*

* Apologies to Maxy as comparative score does not account for Maxy's Hit Outs to Advantage, which would no doubt place him easily in the top 10 last week.  However, Ryder is also missing this stat which indicates he was probably in their top 3.

Overall Team Score Comparison (from each team's last encounter)

Power:  70.10^    Demons:  63.46^

Differential:   Demons -6.64

^ includes the Demon "Ins" of Tyson & Tim Smith.  Does not include the power "In" of Jonas.

Statistically the Demons dropped form substantially vs the Pies from the previous week's game (vs the Bulldogs).   The Power are not playing at Collingwood's level but are still tracking marginally better than us on paper.

Adding the usual 4 goal advantage from the umps to Power's scoreline, this one looks on paper (statistically) to be a solid win for the Power.

Pure Stats Predictor:  The Power by 43 points

Port by 40

How many times do you reckon Bruce will say the following in tonight’s telecast:

”You just get the feeling we’re going to learn a bit about these two sides tonight...don’t you”?

We can win this if we set the tone early and Port have an off night. If Westhoff and Dixon and Robbie Gray are blitzing it early, then it’s going to be a long night.

Holy shut the door!  

2KW bar nice and pricey.... plenty of Dee’s scarfs around but not a single Port bogan in sight. ?

If it is pricey, explains the absence of Port supporters

Ouch. That will not be good. 

Disaster comes to mind

I'm pretty relaxed and pragmatic.  

If we're a genuine top 4 team we'll win, as these are the games you have to win to deserve top 4.  And if we lose I'll be comforted by the knowledge we're still a year, or two away.

Either way I'll learn a lot.

 

It feels weird being a friday night and our footy team is playing. Lets hope it sets up a good weekend. 

No late changes. Starting bench. Melbourne: James Harmes, Mitch Hannan, Bernie Vince, Bayley Fritsch

I’m tipping Port in a close one 

would love to be wrong

Great idea, but don't expect a forthcoming response - it would remain 'eyes only in confidence'. What would the general public know about it? Don't spend dollars on it either. Not worth the inquiry. Just a bit of fun ... perhaps.

Well, we could always start a totally add free unbiased one, maybe even sponsored.............

Following this from the Greek isles. Will be midway between Alonnisos and Skopelos. Pretty sure the ferry has wi-fi. Previous years have not gone well for us when I've followed from afar. Better performance this time hopefully. Black arm bands?

That was the message I was trying to convey mate. ?

Gutsy, but why not?

Wife sees me cooking dinner with a bourbon instead of a beer and gives me the "ill go in the other room and let you scream at the tv after dinner" look.

 

Poor partners of demon supporters.

About to get on (rarely running French) train from Aix-en-Provence to Lyon. Will be relying on you guys even more than usual

My confidence has grown through the week. Thought Garlett would be in. Smith worries me as this is s massive game and I would of gone with Garlett, Weideman and kept Spargo. Would of dropped Hannan/Harmes for Tyson and played Jones on the wing. 

Dees by 26

I would have gone Pedo, Frosty, Garlett, JSmith in, TSmith not in, Petty plus Baker, drop Vince and Lewis, keep Spago to shirtfront Westhoff. No arguments.

To be followed by Ling with 'Yeah exactly right Bruce!' His BT version is a good one also.

"Spot on" also gets a good run.

Pretty pumped but pretty nervous. Hope we can make a statement tonight. Go Dees!

God I hate Seven’s coverage.
