Goal kicking accuracy 2023


DutchDemons

Recommended Posts

Last 4 weeks 

8–13 v blues … blues were horrible , Dees were less horrible (v6-8)

8-18 v pies … Dees dominated and should have won by 6+ goals yet won by 4 points (v9-8) 

8-15 v cats … Dees fell away to cats pressure (v11–12)

5-15 v Giants … Dees had 73 inside 50s and lost by 2 points (v7-5)

29-61 over 4 weeks. Poor.  Very poor.  Goalkicking is a physical and mental exercise.  It’s also how the entries into 50 are created.  Dumb kicks to packs are easily defended.  And stupid videos of players kicking ridiculous banana kicks doesn’t help supporters frustrated by their inability to kick goals from 25-30 metres out.

Our inaccuracy / inability to kick vital goals has realistically already cost us any thoughts of top 2 and may well cost us top 4 thus any realistic thought of a premiership. 
Surely kicking is such a fundamental skill in Australian football that we cannot continue to recruit or carry players that cannot kick straight and hit a target or a goal.   Unlike Rugby where there are few kicks, or American “Football”  where it seems only one guy kicks regularly all our players must kick accurately.  
This is a massive challenge for all our players, and coaches.  ARE THEY UP TO THE CHALLENGE ?

According to 

we currently lead the league in goal kicking accuracy after three rounds. It felt like we missed so many easy set shots last year, shooting ourselves in the foot. It’s fantastic to see this has turned around!

 

Just opened this thread for the first time, I assume things are still going this well!

disregarding total misses which are bad in itself we are the only side with more behinds than goals and by an incredible differential.

That is so horrifying that heads have to roll. The Eagles just suffered the 4th biggest loss in AFL history, and they’ve still scored more goals than us over the last 6 weeks.

Please let the media come after us hard over this. That is pathetic.

Should have won the game today by 6+ goals on expected score. This will, or might have already cost us a top 4 spot!

They need to get their act together it’s truly swung too far the other way in comparison to early in the season.

Could someone gather it and post it all here (un-paywalled), please?

 

p.s. JVR's distant/angled, and gather/blind-turn VFL goals today...

It’s actually 29-61 and 24 no score 

that 29/114 = 25.4%  … that’s abysmal 

lucky to get home for wins v blues and pies given we Dominated both games 

 

Last 4 weeks 

8–13 v blues … blues were horrible , Dees were less horrible (v6-8)

8-18 v pies … Dees dominated and should have won by 6+ goals yet won by 4 points (v9-8) 

8-15 v cats … Dees fell away to cats pressure (v11–12)

5-15 v Giants … Dees had 73 inside 50s and lost by 2 points (v7-5)

Our accuracy at the start of the season was unsustainable. And there was a game we were lucky to win this year against Richmond where we shot the lights out while Richmond fell apart in the last quarter.

I'd like to think this 5 week patch is also a compete outlier and our woes will turn around shortly. There's going to be a game soon where we'll be a tidy 11.2.68 at half time.

GWS have been lucky. In 3 of their wins this year they have been outscored by the opposition which suggests to me that their record of 7-8 is a little flattering.

The figures I posted exclude rushed behinds, so it's purely shots at goal.

JVR is reasonably accurate and Jefferson is super accurate.   Jefferson's body is filling out and often kicks 3 or 4 goals at casey when he is the main man (no brown and no TMac).  He also has a great pair of hands and is around the 200cm mark.   I think they might both be in the side before the year is out.

I know some people dislike the idea of expected scores, however...

@ crow_data_sci over on Twitter has posted the raw data from his updated Expected Score model, including roughly 27,000 shots at goal since the beginning of 2021. If anyone is interested in downloading the raw csv file, I have included his tweet at the bottom of this post.

This is a better way to look at goal accuracy as it takes into account the estimated difficulty of the shot. The expected score for a particular shot takes into account distance to goal, angle and context (set shot, handball receive, hard ball get, etc). It's only a model and won't be perfect (e.g. it doesn't take into account weather conditions or actual pressure on the player) but it's better than raw accuracy.

In the following tables I have looked at average points scored per shot (raw measure of accuracy), average expected score (difficulty), and the difference (improved measure of accuracy), sorted by the difference.

While Petracca is comfortable the least accurate player this season for players with 30+ shots, the difficulty of his shots (average expected score) is third hardest (similar to Stringer, Rachele, Martin and Papley). He's still the second least accurate player taking into account difficulty ahead of Jade Gresham, but it does add context to his accuracy.

I have included tables for the following:

  • Melbourne players this season;
  • Melbourne overall by round, including the opposition's difference between actual and expected score;
  • Melbourne players since the beginning of 2021; and
  • All players this season.

We have been by far the most inaccurate side in the league. We need to weed out the repeat offenders and target them on their technique and footy IQ.

Wonder if it’s still the least of Goodwins worries

 

has cost 2 games now - arguably 3 with port

good kicking is good footy

good kicking and kicking goals is core business for a professional team 

fix it pronto

i remember as a junior golfer spending hours and hours and hours on the short game - putting especially but chipping in particular 

not saying they don’t practice but they need to get stone cold on this. Like Cameron smith on the greens in round 4 at St. Andrews last year. Stone cold killa

 

Not sure this is what Goody ever said. Happy for you to cite your source though.

He said forward connection at the time was the least of our worries.

And frankly, forward connection is not our issue at the moment, although we could always do better at everything.

We are generating enough shots on goal, we are not converting them.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
