excellent stat table and is probably the best measure of accuracy.

I wonder what it would show for 2022

    That goal kicking accuracy is a big improvement from last year. It's a key reason why we belted some teams like the Swans by 50+, and it's actually the main reason we beat the Tigers too as they beat us everywhere except the scoreboard due to inaccuracy.

    Hats off the Choco Williams for his work on our goal and field kicking accuracy and the players for working hard on this important aspect of the game.

    Our accuracy holds us in good stead to knock over Collingwood IMO.

    Give Choco anything he wants. The only way I 'll accept him leaving now is for another head coaching job.

    Of course, at this early stage of the season, if you've kicked, say 15.4, you'll beat all those above hands down, but not appear on the list.

    Actually, Fritta is 16.4, (80%), and should be on top of that chart, while the Chin is 13.2 at 87%. Which one would you rather have kicking for your life? I think I'd take either.

    Of course that doesn't factor in actual total shots, but you'd have to think if you're kicking with that accuracy, you're not going to have too many complete misses. I can't remember any from those two, but it's possible that there were a couple.

    Fritsch hasn't properly missed a set shot this season. He's credited with 1, but that was the highly dubious one after the siren when the score review guy had clocked out for the evening. It was gun barrel straight. Going to spit my beer out when he finally does miss one.

    A reason for our accuracy is, like 2021 we are centering the ball deep i50 which is great for our small/medium players or anyone who marks. 

    It certainly beats the wide boundary or the 45-50 mtr shots from last year

    Unfortunately statistics have a poor record since distance and angles are not taken into account along with points where the opposition force the ball thru for a behind are not removed from the accuracy counts.

    We also don't know what the author's definition of "no score" means. For example, does it include kicks that fall short...but if so, how does he know whether the kicker deliberately held back on the kick to have it land at the top of the square? Nevertheless, whatever methodology is being used would be the same for all teams, so I think the data is still meaningful.

    I'm flabbergasted Fritta has kicked as many as 4 behinds. He's been deadly accurate this year.

    Come a long way since 2019 when he kicked 22.24

    Seems so easily forgotten.

    Fritsch at 16.4... I know he probably hasn't had 20 set shots yet due to injury, but boy oh boy can he kick.

    Even better, Chandler on 13.2!

    Trac still a way to go at 8.6. But he finished last year at 19.31, so a definite improvement!

    Forgive me if my maths is awry, but in my day 16 plus 4 equalled 20. So if Fritta has kicked 16 goals 4 behinds why is he not on the list?

    You will see that the list only weights 6kg. That's enough for 12 players. So Fritta, because his number is 31, won't fit.

    An alternative explanation is the the twit doesn't show the entire image until you open the twit and then open the image inside it, but that's a bit of a long shot.

    I think they mean set shots. Fritta has kicked a lot on the run this year, rather than from marks.... more than in previous years I think.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
