Goal kicking accuracy 2023

[spirit of norm smith 13,246]

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. 

[monoccular 16,311]

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!

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.

[The heart beats true 16,468]

Tracc running at one goal per every 8 attempts.

🤯

[Deenooos_ 647]

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.

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)

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,370]

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.

[stinga 475]

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.

The Duke 2.0 is developing very nicely ty.

[WheeloRatings 989]

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.

19 scoring shots - and a nice little regression back to the mean. 63.15% and 3(?) posters
