Can I just say on our pressure rating for the last quarter, it's a little misleading, because we held onto the ball and killed the clock a lot. So there's no need for pressure when you've got the ball from a mark.

The pressure rating is the average pressure applied to the opponent's disposals only, so when Melbourne hold onto the ball it doesn't actually affect Melbourne's pressure rating. But I do agree that the pressure rating can be misleading.

If we had the ball more often and held it up (played kick to kick), there'd be less need to pressure our opponent though, right?

I see where you're coming from AF but it shouldn't be effected by anything we do with ball in hand.

My understanding is it would just stay at whatever level it was previous to us getting the ball while maintaining possession.

The rating only changing again after we lose possession and start applying pressure acts again while the oppo has the ball.

A few more useless stats...

Up to and including last week vs the Dockers,  26% of our inside 50s have been converted into goals (season average).

Last night we only converted 13.6% ... our lowest in any match so far by a country mile

Using the season average we would usually score 15 goals last night for a total of 92 points, not including behinds.

Our best result this season was against the Swans where we posted an impressive 35% for a score of 21.8. 134

Round 7 vs North was our next highest ... 34% (rounded down) with a score of 22.7. 139

In steady decline since then.

Accumulative fatigue would absolutely be a factor why our inside 50 conversion rate has declined as the season has progressed.

Less wave running and the resulring slower transition mean more crowded forwardlines and time for defensive zones to get set and fewer players running ahead of, and towards, the ball to provide a free option inside 50.

And of course our disposal efficiency gets worse. Aa an example, we only had one effective disposal inside our 50 in the second quarter of the freo game. That's scarcely believable.

Yep. 

I assume goal kicking accuracy is included in the DE ratings.

And logic suggests accuracy from set shots is very much impacted by fatigue.

You see the impact in games at the end qs, or after long sprints, when a player is gassed and has a set shot. Chandlers third point, was a good example. 

Add accumulative fatigue to the mix and inaccuracy is inevitable.

I think we have average technique accross the board, and again logic suggests fatigue would have more an impact on our DE than say the pies, who are on average better kicks.

That said, sidebottom out is huge for them, because they really rely on their 4 elite kicks- daicos x 2, peddles and sidebottom - to hit high risk kicks on transition.

Lose 25% of elite kicks and their scoring chains will break more often

But the accuracy is also related to speed of ball movement and one, preparedness to take risks and two, execute. 

Faster ball movement creates free options inside 50 in good spots and more out the back, running into open goal type goals.

And executing riskier kicks means more use of the corridor and therefore better looks at goal.

This is one of the reasons that it frustrates me the media doesn't factor in fitness levels and fatigue - except in rhe most superficial way - into their analysis. 

I mean it is fundamental. And is the key factor in so many games, both in terms of the outcome but also the quality of the game in terms of skill execution. They use phrased like x team is just not on today instead.

I have made reaaly good money this year, and the previous two seasons, at this time of year, factoring fatigue and the resulting drop off into my footy betting. 

For example last night I absolutely slammed the suns because one, their game plan is so contest to contest based it is less impacted by fatigue (because it isnt as reliant as say the pies on hitting targets on transition- they smash it forward and hope to win the next contest).

And two, because they were super smart and went up to darwin a week before the dogs game and stayed up there to acclimatise.

Crows started well, but could not handle the humidity and blew up

Thanks Wheelo.  Is it possible to post the HO to Adv by player each week or too much work?

How about each of us visit Wheelo’s website, and regularly. He deserves some recognition (clicks) for what he has provided us to date. 

I look at it often. Brilliant site.

Very user friendly. Partic how I use it, which is predominantly to zero in on our key stats and also comparing teams accross mutiple data points.

For stats, I now only use wheelo and footy wire. 

And i always look at the timeline function in the match area on the afl app as they post some really intersting, and often very obscure (eg one effective disposal inside 50 in the second q against freo) champion data stats.

That would be awesome.  Let me know if you're ok with me using that stat (only)

It's the minor missing ingredient in the player ratings i put together.

Will mention you in the credits of course 😁

All player and team ratings for 2023 will now include 'hit outs to advantage' courtesy of wheeloratings.com

This may skew the % change and rank comparisons somewhat when looking at a ruck or anyone pinch hitting in the ruck vs 2022 which does not include hit outs to advantage.  Regular rucks would have a marginally higher 2022 rating if they were to be adjusted.

Accumulative fatigue would absolutely be a factor why our inside 50 conversion rate has declined as the season has progressed.

Less wave running and the resulring slower transition mean more crowded forwardlines and time for defensive zones to get set and fewer players running ahead of, and towards, the ball to provide a free option inside 50.

And of course our disposal efficiency gets worse. Aa an example, we only had one effective disposal inside our 50 in the second quarter of the freo game. That's scarcely believable.

I'm not sure if it's supported by data, but to my eye at least, we seem to have varied our ball movement as fatigue has set in too.

Earlier in the season, we were going very centrally to the central 20m out hotspot, and the last 2-3 weeks we've reverted to the pockets, and it's seen accuracy decrease.

I wonder if it's a deliberate thing. Like, the coaches have said, look, fatigue will hit you earlier in games/you'll carry it in with you to games, and so take the easier options when they present.

And that means not having to defend corridor/central slingshot, so entries become wider and safer towards the boundary. But with this, comes greater inaccuracy.

This may skew the % change and rank comparisons somewhat when looking at a ruck or anyone pinch hitting in the ruck vs 2022 which does not include hit outs to advantage.  Regular rucks would have a marginally higher 2022 rating if they were to be adjusted.

I can provide the game-by-game hit outs to advantage for 2022 if you would like to incorporate them into your 2022 ratings.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
