Wow. And it's supposed to be fair and equal...

You would think on average it should even out ...

Fun fact. Difference between Port and Melbourne is 10 goals , which is more than the accumulated margin of the games we have lost this year - 49 pts.

But noooooo…. Umpires don’t impact games.

Goals From Free Kicks Ladder - Round 14

Screen Shot 2023-06-20 at 2.23.57 pm

The overall 1965 to 2020 goals from frees ladder, per club comparison,  would not make for flash reading either I reckon.

I find this reasoning quite specious. What decisions turned the game against the Lions when we were trash until the lights went out? What goals came from decisions against Freo and Port? Or in the reverse against GC or Coll?

Expected accuracy at goal from player would dwarf the above number. 

This is just needless umpire bashing with no quantification - it really is a ‘damned lie.’

I'm surprised Freo aren't up there. It feels like everytime I watch them, whenever they go inside 50, free kick.

But then, this is just goals. Doesn't take into account misses. Shots on goal from frees i50 would make more sense.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
