I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

Not sure his earnt his chance? Hasn't kicked a goal in his past 2 VFL games and only had 9 disposal last week and was barely sighted.

And Weideman is a high half forward, but you seem to have no problem with him being a Full Forward in the AFL side. 

Is this your thing now? Trying to troll me by misrepresenting things I've said?

Here's some facts for you slugger.

Ah ok, at least you're admitting to trolling now and I can just put you on ignore.

Have a good school holidays fella.

Hahhaha. As opposed to facepalm emojing everyone’s posts and not really want to engage in constructive debate. I’m still waiting on the lesson on social media business marketing ??

Bowey could come in if the Match Committee decided to persist with Hunt in the forward line in Pickett's place. 

Not sure the Hunt forward experiment was a winner on the weekend tbh. I would think he goes back again this week IMO.

Hunt’s the most accurate set shot for goal at the club.

He should stay forward and BBB and Melksham should come in to sort out our disastrous set shots for goal that have plagued us for most of the year.

Reckon his sample size is a bit small to be saying he's the best set shot, and his lack of awareness against GWS when forward will mean he'll go back to where he's found his niche IMO. I'm not totally against the idea, just for mine it doesn't seem that likely.

Definitely keen on Brown and Melksham coming in, but might not make a huge difference if we keep going slow around the boundary. That's the main tweak needed for me, centre clearances will help that potentially too.

What 3 forwards do you have coming out to have all of Hunt, Brown and Melksham in there?

According to the stats I can find on Stats Insider, that's not actually correct. Not even in our top 5.

Stats Insider has data on all set shots from Round 1 2018 to Round 6 2021. I've gone through and here are all the players on our list who have a set shot accuracy of at least 50% (minimum 10 shots in the time period):

  1. Daw - 71% (14 set shots)
  2. TMac - 63% (104 shots)
  3. Jones - 63% (19 shots)
  4. B Brown - 61% (178 shots)
  5. M Brown - 60% (52 shots)
  6. ANB - 59% (32 shots)
  7. Hunt - 57% (35 shots)
  8. Weideman - 56% (55 shots)
  9. Petty - 55% (11 shots)
  10. Gawn - 52% (42 shots)
  11. Fritsch - 51% (92 shots)
  12. Melksham - 51% (65 shots)
  13. Tomlinson - 50% (18 shots)

And then below 50%:

  1. Brayshaw - 48% (27 set shots)
  2. Spargo - 44% (18 shots)
  3. Petracca - 42% (60 shots)
  4. Harmes - 41% (29 shots)
  5. Langdon - 36% (28 shots)
  6. Viney - 36% (11 shots)
  7. Pickett - 36% (14 shots)
  8. Oliver - 24% (25 shots)

 Oliver, Pickett and Petracca kill us..Wow its like our whole midfield can't kick. Gawn is better than the lot of them

 

I thought Spargo was better than that. Didn't he kick 8g 1b last year?

But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year.

We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.

Spargo's 60% from snaps but only 44% from set shots. And the data does go back to 2018.

But you're right, last year he kicked 8.1, with the only miss being a set shot.

    TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5
