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.

appalling stats no wonder we are in trouble in F50

Its like a rubber ball some days in and ou in and out we take it up to AFL average and we kick more goals

Wonder if the fWD coach looks at this

Brent Moloney would've loved this game plan.
Get ball, close eyes, boot ball.

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.

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.

Everything should be optimised for excellence in every domain within an inch of its life to not waste the window

Yet there's people wondering if Ben Rutten could make a good midfield coach..

I saw this stat a while ago... and all of a sudden I changed my expectation for what happens (for any team) when it's delivered inside 50.

"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.

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.

Who are you referring to?

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.

We can forgive the forward coach for poor disposal, that is on the players. We can safely assume no coach says butcher the ball.

Its more about set up, tactics and positioning for a forward coach.

Which is also terrible. 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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
