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.

Jamie Elliott 25% wow!

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!

Yep, he’s cost a lot of people same game multis this year.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
