Inside 50 rate from kick-ins

[Wunders 397]

We are 16th for inside 50 rate from kick ins: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-news-2021-champion-data-index-kick-in-record-stats-kick-ladder-jake-lloyd-jack-ziebell/news-story/6d73493dbc067eea06db75fcd5d3e2f5. Sitting 4-0 means it's probably not that big a deal, but would be a stat that would be nice if we could improve on (we are probably more of a forward half pressure/turnover score team anyway and so far most teams haven't scored much against us anyway).

1. Sydney Swans: 37.3%

2. Geelong Cats: 31.4%

3. North Melbourne: 29.4%

4. Port Adelaide: 27.5%

5. Fremantle: 27.5%

surprises me as our kick outs have definitely improved this season.

Scope for improvement as with several other areas... a good thing

[John Crow Batty 8,860]

The fact that we have conceded only 25 behinds which averages out to just over 6 a game kind of waters down the value of this statistic. In contrast the Swans and Geelong have conceded 50 each. We don’t have enough opportunities on the board for a meaningful comparison. 
We also have only conceded 39 goals for a total of only 64 scoring shots against us at an average of 16 a game. The opposition only score 4 times a quarter. Very impressive. The Bulldogs have conceded 68 scoring shots.

Exactly. I'd go one step further and point out that the author has created a story which doesn't even pass scrutiny. It's utter tosh.

Hard to draw anything from this statistic as it is highly dependent on game style and involves trade-offs. The most important thing is not conceding scores from kick-ins, which the eye test says we are doing well. Moving the ball quickly from defence through the corridor will increase the rate of inside 50's from kick-ins, but also results in a higher risk of conceding goals from turnovers. 

Our strength lies in our contested game, so it makes much more sense to force a stoppage on the flank/ wing rather than take risks through the corridor coming out of defence.

The stat would be more meaningful if it showed scores from kick ins. 

eg if it was '# of scoring shots/kick-in'  I'm guessing we would rank quite highly.  We have been very good at end to end movement but we often kick points so '# of scoring shots/kick ins' is a more meaningful stat.

correct

the end to end goal is one of the best risk/reward transitions in the game.

We have the perfect team with our talls and Pickett to take advantage of the process.

I expect that we'd be very high in goals from rebound 50's too - most of the time it's not getting past that 50/40 metre mark thanks to Lever and Co.

Who gives a rats about scores from kick ins. It's just like scores from turnovers, in that they should never score and we should never turn it over.

i50s from kickins?.........that'd be one helluva kickin
