Round 1, 2023 MCG - Demons vs Bulldogs

Clarry opens his 2023 salvo with the No.1 mantle.  Not sure i would agree with that after watching the match but then again you do miss alot of what's happening up the opposite end when you're sitting behind the goals

Thought CP5 & Kozzie were close to BOG.  Kozzie's pressure in our F 50 and even higher up the ground was super all night.  Track lifted from about the 20 minute mark of the second and the Dogs couldn't go with him afterwards continuing his fabulous pre-season form

Great result for BBB with four snags.  The one from the pocket was a beautiful bender

The defence looked a little shakey at times but settled after half time and held up nicely with some lovely connection happening later in the match.  Thought Melk's goal in particular was team poetry off HB.  The Bowser handball in traffic out wide to Claz... wowsers!

Top 5 Meters Gained > Tracc 661 (Doggy's best...Smith with 623),  Clarry 488 (drive those legs Mr Choo Choo!),  Lever 484, Tomlinson 424 & Rivers 388

Thought this was an excellent result given the key outs we had.  Grundy slotted in very nicely ty.  Had a few iffy moments but appeared to improve as the game progressed

Bring on the Bears!

Gus is a bit of a surprise, DD (nice to see though) Possibly the 'behind the goals' effect for me, too.

I thought Harmes was quiet last night so surprised by his score.

Yes a tad quiet although he didn't do too badly if compared to say Tracc, where he had only two less effectives with 10% less game time (84% vs 74% respectively).  Also the scores don't always reflect the quality of those possessions.  Better to trust in what we witness on the day i think.

[rpfc 23,073]

I think Trent Rivers is our next midfielder to compete for time there with CO13, CP5, JV7, JH4, and KP36. Ahead of Sparrow in my eyes.

I thought this is where TMac made a contribution beyond the 'classic' stats last night.

Agree, though an 'outside' rather than 'inside'?

I think he’s both. Our midfield doesn’t lack much but if you said to me; let’s put a quick witted and footed skilled ball user (Pickett) and a strong body with an excellent line breaking long kick and good vision (Rivers) in there, I would say…

Great work DD and your thoughts definitely match my own. It wasn't all perfect but a good side has the ability to make it look easier. 

[tiers 2,390]

It's intriguing that Langdon and Hunter, our two prized permanent wingmen, scored the lowest of the non-sub players.

Are we now playing through the middle more? Are they playing too wide to be as effective in this new(?) style?

Early days and there may be other games where our tactics change. But still a mystery.

[Dockett 32 1,148]

Tomlinson a pretty good effort.

Generally more than reliable  when asked to play a role down back.

The Bulldogs tall forward line looked dangerous on paper pre game.

Yes interesting point tiers.  Be nice to see some sort of hot zone map where it shows where the ball was tracking

[Demon Dynasty 10,319]

Not really a surpirse and will change with each match depending on who's in / out for us and the oppo of course.  Nonetheless makes for positive reading...

Yep he made me eat humble pie Dockett.  I thought he may have been passed any kind of performance like that when i watched him in the warm up against the Saints...

17 effectives, 6 one percenters, 8 rebounds, 1 inside 50, 2 tackles (one of those inside 50), 4 score involvements, 5 intercepts and 424 meters gained.  4 turnovers

Round 2, 2023 GABBA - Lions vs Demons

Would you believe Grundy had a massive 45 hit outs...would love to know how many of those were to our advantage.

A number of players here had decent scores but it always comes back to what they did with their ball use and finish on the night.  And i suspect most of the boys were well off their best and stats also don't record fumbles.  And boy did we fumble alot tonight.

Some indication of how far off this performance was is shown by the team score which is a weighted average of the top 22 rated players.  16% lower than against the Dogs and 13.5% worse than our 2022 season average.  It's only one match but that's some seriously poor numbers in anyone's language.

Thanks DD those stats really reinforce our poor output 16% down on the Doggies game is huge Harmes, Melksham and McVee will be lucky to play next week based on those numbers.!!
