Don't normally rate Ross Lyon's analysis but did find his segment on us and Sydney Footy Classified quite interesting.  He highlighted some of Sydney's inside 50s.  We were well setup for most of them and yet they managed to fake kicking long and pull the kick at the last moment which caught us off guard.  Admittedly we might not have many players in the team that could pull some of them off.

I don't know if we practice this sort of thing (regular track watchers would know) but if we don't, I hope we add this in for next season.  It is a valuable skill that Sydney seem to be the masters of.

    What's more concerning was the complete lack of movement when we had a kick to inside 50 after mark or free. Everyone was standing around watching like teenage boys at a dance.

    Cool tactic, but we had it in our power to neutralise it with scoreboard pressure. Instead we went retro with "mark, stop and kick" to guys who spend so much time practicing goal kicking from the boundary, they think that's where you have to do it from.

    a collection of lines is useless unless you know the location of players in the f50

    A lot of those red line turnovers might tell the story.

    Clear to see any deep central entries end up in turnovers.  All goals coming from shallow wide entries

    obviously you need to consider skill, intent and structure in all that

    ps. any chance we could get a box and whisker plot of this data?  not for any reason aside from it's my favourite presentation of data

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
