I have expanded the range of information included in the stats files updates, which now include Key Team Stats, pressure for all players (including their season average), and scores from the region where chains started. All except the data sourced from the Herald Sun has now been automated, so let me know if additional information can be included or if anything is unclear.

Looking at the score sources for last night - Geelong scored 19 points to 1 from chains starting in defensive 50 (13-1 from turnovers), and 20 points to 2 from chains starting in the centre/corridor (18-1 from turnovers). A total of 39 points to 3 - Melbourne average 37.3 points to 24.9 from these locations this season.

Melbourne concede 5.8 points on average from turnovers in the centre and 5.4 points from turnovers in our opponents' defensive 50.

That is so brilliant wheelo. I love the layout.

I will def have think if there is anything that could be added, but it looks super comprehensive.

I was actually going to ask if you could include some of the stats under the key stats header because for the podcast i have been taking the numbers you have post in this tread, and toggle across to your home page to create a list that includes CPs, meters gained and inside 50s (i didn't ask coz i figured you spent enough time helping me out!).

So massive thanks.

The three key stat for mine in terms of understanding this game is scores from turnover, time in forward half and most of all the remarkable drop off in our pressure ratings in the last q - we were totally cooked. And we did brilliantly to avoid a blowout.

it's the second time we've avoided a blow out in losses

if only the lights went off last night we might've won!

with the d50 transition scoring, i can't believe how easily we allow teams to exit d50 - our set-up defensive zone would appear to me to have moved back a contest compared to earlier in the year

Yes - and i have zero doubt it is because of fatigue (accumulative and increased load).

Thanks binman, I'm more than happy to assist where I can. If it's information I have direct access to, it may not require much effort to incorporate into these updates.

And I'm glad you like the layout!

Round 15, 2023 Tax Payer Park - Cats vs Demons

Have added Player and Team Season Ratings up to last week to provide a bit of a form guide as to how player's have faired statistically from week to week.

Obviously one week's result vs the more robust season average needs to be considered when making comparisons.

Thanks DD provides great insight to our performance, Team Rating says it all 19% drop off and top 6 down 11% can’t win games with that type of performance. Disappointing really.!!!

Thanks for this Wheelo.

Just a quick one.

The AFL ap had us scoring 4 points from defensive half chains and Geelong scoring 33 points. Is there a discrepancy?

Rivers had a whopping 12 intercept possessions (only bettered by Lever who had 14 - Rivers had +3 more than the next best), 6 score involvements and only 3 turnovers from 25 disposals. He seemed to be playing 1+ in front of our defenders. Floated across in front of packs multiple times. Played a very good game, I thought. One of his best. If he'd nailed that goal, it would probably have been his best game.

Just a quick one.

The AFL ap had us scoring 4 points from defensive half chains and Geelong scoring 33 points. Is there a discrepancy?

The stats I posted were scores from defensive 50 and corridor (centre square extended to the two 50m arcs), not defensive half. When I look at the stats by half instead, I also get 33 points to 4.

Here is the breakdown by half and region.

Half Region For Against
Defensive Centre 1 12
Defensive D50 1 19
Defensive Wing 2 2
Forward Centre 1 8
Forward F50 13 16
Forward Wing 45 21

I should note that there may be times when my figures for location of scoring chains won't align exactly with the official stats.

Rivers has taken his game to another level this season.

I'm loving his intercept marking.

I've been critical of his disposal, but he was excellent the other night. And his form overall has been strong IMO.

Some nice highlights there thanks AF.  Yes i've also been critical in some matches where i felt his VG work was being under mined by some horror turnovers in the worst parts of the ground.

I wasn't in any state to take notice of anyone's game in particular on Thurs night but it looks like a number on here are seeing this one of his best.  The turnover count is down as you have highlighted which is great to see and the part of his game that needed tightening up.

As Bin mentioned this would appear to be a break out year for the young defender with a big improvement on his 2022.

Taking a bit of a look at his best ratings so far (discounting the Eagles game a little given the way they've been traveling)...

Rnd 4 vs Eagles >  5.550 (ranked 2nd behind Clarry)

Rnd 9 vs Hawks >  5.150 (ranked 1st ahead of Clarry & Tracc)

Rnd 13 vs Magpies >  3.675 (ranked 4th behind Viney, Salem & Gus)

and of course this latest result which you have highlighted.

Yes DZ.  A few stuck their hand up and actually out-performed but you can't cover that many being way off their usual output.

The theory that the shorter break for us might actually assist didn't hold up on the night.

Wheelo, this is great stuff. Question - Do you have data on Centre Clearances to Advantage and Stoppages to Advantage? This would compliment the Hitouts to Advantage stat.

Goodwin.  Time to fix it.  You’re the coach.  Our forward structure is horrible.  Entries into forward 50 are haphazard.  “We’ve been working on it”.  Wow. It doesn’t show. It’s got worse in fact.

Round 16, 2023 TIO Traegar Park - Demons vs Giants

Much effort made by many only to result in a shocker forward of center (again).

At least 12 of the 22 a long way off their season averages and those averages include last week's poor outcome.  Some of them a mile off.  A few others holding up their end.  Viney, Bowey & Lever.  Petty a much better result vs his come back last week.

6.8% of inside 50s into goals has to be some sort of low record for us and the AFL surely.

Top 22 Team rating off the season average by a massive 18% tells the tale.  Highly unlikely you will beat many teams at all in that sort of form.

Big lift needed by many but also some signifcant ins/outs are needed.  Goodwin needs to reward those performing at Casey starting this week and consider a number of difficult cuts to some of the regulars that are usually automatic inclusions every week who just aren't performing and in some cases significantly under-performing of late.

I suspect a fair chunk of that rating (aside from poor form from a number of players) lies with the inability of some/many to handle the wet / greasy conditions plus the disconnect / inefficiencies forward.

Of all the teams that have had 70+ inside 50s since 1998, yesterday was the outright lowest goals scored. Previous lowest was 6 goals. Conditions probably worse than most other 70+ inside 50 games, but still!

I only went back to 2012 for inside 50 conversion, but North Melbourne scored 1 goal from 34 inside 50s against Geelong!

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
