Dees Inside 50s in QF vs Swans

Featured Replies

 
 

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

I hate you so much right now.  But I gotta respect the gag

At least it wasn't Garry Hocking in a box

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
