Quarters Won Ladder 2021

Blow the siren ...

Interesting stat revealed during yesterday's game on ABC radio.

This season MFC leads the comp in the number of behinds kicked.

Late in the 4th quarter we were 62 goals...62 behinds

Definitely something to work on..my guess is that ideally goals should be double the behinds figure.

Just imagine if we had kicked straight over the 5 weeks. 
 

Jones is very lucky to be in the side. He has absolutely no right to that position if he misses absolute “sitters”

Keep them practicing Mr. Williams

We've actually kicked 65 goals and 72 behinds for the season, only Freo and North have worse conversion than us. Against us we've had 47 goals and 31 points kicked, so teams are very accurate, GWS kicked 11.2! Only Collingwood have a higher goals/points against ratio. 

If we had the average goal/point ration for and against, our percentage would be sitting up at 177% (we'd still be sitting 2nd!)

We also have yet to lose a last quarter, and the only other team to also do this we play this weekend coming.

Imagine thinking your team was primed for a crack at the top four and five rounds into the season you’ve won the least amount of quarters in the league.

Less than North ffs.

As we have not had leading forwards up the centre we have forwards going wide . The wider you lead  the chances of goals are reduced. Fritsch is a good example ) 
( this  view was based on observation not knowing actual stats)

I don't find that surprising at all. Imagine where our girls side would sit with such a stat.

Brisbane are also 5-0 for final quarters. But we do have the highest 4thQ % - 151 - 74 - keeping in mind we've kicked 25 4thQ behinds as well! Need to hold on to Burgess any way we can.

St Kilda  are below North on the quarters won....

Wow.

Thanks Skuit, overlooked that. I love that we've ran out games so well, the Burgess method he put in place last year has clearly continued on. We were hurt much worse than other teams last year with the shorten quarters IMO. 

I'm wondering if we have a much larger percentage of goals against us close to goal, say within 15 meters, compared to the competition. Just thinking that our defense is doing so well that teams might be bombing long and hoping for the chaos ball to get over the line, so the goal/behind percentage might even out over time. Anyone know where those stats can be found?

Ideally we should never kick a behind...
