Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I think you may be colour-blind DV8. Do you ever find yourself yelling at the Demons on TV and for some odd reason the commentators won't stop blabbing on about Patrick Cripps?

LoL... Not really, but I used to find myself following the Lions. ?

Player / Team Stats Form Guide

Rnds 4 to 6, 2019  vs  Season 2018

Note:  No hit outs to advantage included.  Maxy likely to be No.1 for Rnds 4 to 6 otherwise

Player / Team Stats Form Guide

To Round 6, 2019  vs  Season 2018

image.thumb.png.bdea25675589249c97c7065797943b0c.png

Maxy missing out on 'hit outs to advantage' obviously impacts his ranking significantly.  Allowance for this would no doubt place him in the top 3 so far this season and the same last season.  Over the last 3 weeks my best guesstimate would likely see him ranked No.1

Some of the ugly differencials vs last season have improved somewhat for some players in the last three rounds compared to the first three abominations, but many still a long way off their average 2018 output (form).  And that's their 'average' vs some of their better or best peak games.

Apart from the key players from 2018 missing this season so far, the four biggest 'trend' concerns for me are...

> Clarry -  fallen away another 10% in the last three weeks from the above 6 week vs 2018 differencial (vs his first three weeks where he was almost on par with 2018);

> Weid -  on a massive downward slide in the last three weeks from his first three rounds (where his output, outside of goal scoring, was up 25% on 2018!);  and

>  Hibb & T-Mac - still tracking off 2018 by insane percentages.

Viney (coming off injury issues), Oscar, ANB, Tracc, Hunt and Jones also, albeit some are starting to improve over recent weeks but obviously off an extremely low ebb in the opening rounds.

A few major positives...

>  Maxy almost back to his best 2018 form in the last three weeks vs a fair way off in the first three week block.

>  Salem managing to increase his output on his average 2018 numbers by a massive 9% across the 6 week block in a perfect storm!

Some small positive trends / wins include...

> J Wag (small sample though of three matches and obviously not favoured by the FD during this block of games although probably pushed out by Nev regardless) and Stretch (again small sample of two matches & need to see a few more games before getting too excited).

Not taking much notice of the asterisked players who have only played one match so far.  Over and out!  (revisit again after Rnd 9).

Erratum:  The 2018 average team score was 69.528 not 60.925 as shown in the Rnds 4 to 6 table posted yesterday (above).  This makes the % differential from Rnds 4 to 6 (vs 2018 season)  -16.79% not -5.05% as shown.  A much more significant difference obviously!

Round 7, 2019 Demons vs Hawks MCG

The only positive in these numbers is that the predictor had the Swans winning when they came off a win vs the Blues.  The Blues' form might be quite ordinary vs most others in the comp which 'might' be flattering the Hawks' total team score somewhat.  On the downside, we seem to play smaller grounds more effectively vs the G nowadays which might have had a significant assist in our win at the SCG.

Alot needs to go right Buck but anything's possible.

We still have a solid engine.  The Hawks one of the worst this year in clearances.  Get first use, don't have so many getting sucked into to the contest and use it well with those free on the outside IF we keep our structures.

Scrap the high press and defend deeper up the ground so they cant sling shot out the back as easily as we usually see at the G.

There's many ways to skin a cat.

But even IF we can do some of that the forward /mids / HBs need to connect and forwards need to start hitting the scoreboard.  If this past bit finally starts to click the rest might fall in to place and we might see us shock ourselves out of an early season cardiac arrest!

AFL 2019: The newest statistic that is correlating to on-field success

Statistical porn...meh.  It's a non-public stat that we rarely get a look at but wouldn't go that far.  Interesting nonetheless.  And i'll give you one guess as to who's in the top 10 for the Mighty Demons!!.

From a team perspective not so good here.  Work to be done but i suspect we will improve as we get players back and existing ones starting to come into some form, which commenced against the Hawks (for some) on Saturday...

Interesting stuff.

Roos' explanation in the linked article for why the stat is important makes sense and ties into our form - we're probably still doing very well with CPs in the clearances, but we all feel like too often we lose one-on-ones at either end of the ground and rarely win those 50/50 contests outside of stoppages.

Could explain the explosion in the use by commentators  (hello gary) of the dreaded phrase 'ground ball'.

It annoys me that so much ofvchampion data's data is unavailable to Joe public.

Round 8, 2019 Suns vs Demons (Metricon)

*Omitted this round

Hard to get a gauge on all the changes at the Suns in terms of what they might bring.  For example if three out of the four 'Ins' don't step up the Demons are marginaly in front.  If all four bring a half decent level then we see the above outcome.  If Viney goes ballistic and somewhere back to his 2018 standards and the four GC 'Ins' also perform to a decent standard we are talking a draw etc.

I've heard a few of the players refer to "winning critical one-on-ones" or more one-on-ones/contested possessions across the ground. This must be exactly what they are talking about. Although we're great at winning the contested possession at the stoppage, most of our other players aren't very good one-on-one/contested players. 

Thankfully we improved this over the weekend in the forward line and a bit in the back line.

I think this is a good stat - it demonstrates that as we win a contest and just bang it away, we are not passing to advantage.  Our rubbish exits from contests are costing us at the next point in the chain.  We have been poor in 1:1 , marking in particular, and in ground ball contests.  It shows in the ladder, and in this stat

That is spot on Titan... No.2 in contested behind Port and No.4 for clearances (averages).  I'll revisit a form indicator on those looking at the last 3 weeks after Rnd 9 and see how we're trending.  Early season form was a tad off and might be skewing those rankings right now.

My question Bin is ...if there's a 'ground ball' why isn't there an 'aerial ball'?

My understanding is it is winning the contested ball away from stoppage Buck.  As you say, we haven't been winning so much of the one on ones in the open.  The first 5 rounds, Sydney probably an exception, we were probably smacked up in this area.

Would like to see the rankings from 2018 to see where we were last season.

What we do with clearances (from stoppage or center ball ups) is a separate factor of course, with effective disposals covering that aspect of play in some regard and DE% a fractional reflection of overall disposals, obviously also including ineffective ones.  Ideally we need an effective disposal & DE% stat that also includes pressure factors but at the moment we are stuck with mostly very rough indicators, such as those two.  The FD would no doubt be getting their hands on some of the top level pressure stuff.  At a price of course!

Such nonsense. It might have some merit, but a statistic like this on its own is useless and possibly misleading. Maybe Gaff's and Oliver's chains don't result in as many scores because the players who receive the ball from them subsequently stuff it up.

That is correct LD ...our performance up forward has been diabolical so far and a player who dishes off with reasonable quality can't be expected to complete the good work further up the field.

I would like to see this same comparison if we were managing to hit the side of a barn door more often with shots at goal.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
