Crystal Dees 372 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 19 hours ago, mo64 said: Can someone provide me a link of this stat. I'm lead to believe that it's a percentage of kicks inside 50 rather than volume. Spargo is a low possession player, so if he's only delivering the ball inside 50 4 times a game, hitting 2 targets is hardly impressive or a game changer. They are Champion Data stats quoted on an episode of On The Couch last month after 20 games. To my knowledge, plebs like myself can't access them but I can tell you exactly what was broadcast. Player Kicks inside 50 Mark rate = targets hit for ytd (my calc) Petracca 124 14% 17 Oliver 94 13% 12 Viney 62 19% 12 Gawn 59 12% 7 Spargo 56 46% 26 Sparrow 54 7% 4 Jordan 53 15% 8 Langdon 50 18% 9 AFL Average 19% Maybe it's just me in that I value quality over quantity, but I am impressed. And ONLY with Spargo. 2 1 Quote

Fork 'em 7,063 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Brent Moloney would've loved this game plan. Get ball, close eyes, boot ball. 1 Quote

And ONLY with Spargo. Would be interested to know Kozzie's stats here - I think they only include players with 50 kicks inside 50. But I suspect his % mark rate would be close to Spargo. If the ball is in their hands, we generally score. 1 Quote
KingDingAling 3,758 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 We have a ruckman as a forward coach, we have a forward pocket as a midfield coach, and we are splurging 700k on a back up ruck. That’s what I call wasting a window. 1 Quote

"Oh the balls been in 10 times... well that should only be around 2 marks, if that..." Less disappointment and angst, that's for sure. It's a marker of how crucial systemic defence is.

He de mon 944 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I was curious about Stafford, as I couldn't remember him kicking many goals when he played. I was surprised that of all the VFL/AFL players who have played since 1967, he sits 35th on the goal kicking accuracy table. At least he knows how to kick goals. 1 Quote

Cranky Franky 2,270 Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 Not sure what they do in meetings & training session but the plan seems to be to kick it half a metre over the head of the forward. Thursday the only decent fwd delivery all night was Petracca to Fritter for the last goal. Quote

We can safely assume no coach says butcher the ball. Its more about set up, tactics and positioning for a forward coach. Quote

Whether it's because the mids/half forwards don't follow direction or the forwards don't trust them to hit the target, I don't know. But we are constantly bombing to a crowded forward line. No one ever gets space except for Fritta and even that is less often now. Quote
Redleg 42,192 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 We certainly don’t have too many one on ones in our F50. Some of that is due to the type of entry, for example quick turnover, catching players up the ground or just isolating players which we seen to not do a lot. Quote
