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.

    Looks like a Horror Film.

    Whoever put this graph together kudos to you, couldn't have been a Dees fans, this would have caused absolute torment upon ones soul piecing this one together.

    FML.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
