Ben Brown (Key Forward  31yo  200cm)

Rnd 0 to Rnd 5, 2024 vs H&A Season 2023

Ben has played four matches plus Rnd 4 vs the Crows before being subbed (for Woe) having played 68% game time.  One could argue this is almost a full game for Ben given his average game time of 84% so i have erred on the side of including him in this series.  His rating (and that of any other subbed players in these ratings) has been adjusted to allow for the lower than normal game time in Rnd 4.

JVR has played all 6 matches so far in 2024.

This is the final player to have played 5 matches or more in this early season review series.  I will look to revisit this series about mid season.  I might also add a review of each player's mid season rating against this early season rating as a bit of an in season form guide if time allows.

  • xScore: total expected score from all shots taken.
  • +/-: total score above or below expected score.
  • xSc. / Shot: average expected score per shot. This represents the average shot difficulty.
  • Shot Rating: average score above or below expected score per shot at goal.

Notes: Expected scores are calculated by Wheelo Ratings. Each shot at goal is assigned an expected score based on the distance from goal, shot angle, and type of shot (e.g. set shot, general play following contested possession, general play following uncontested possession, ground kick, etc) as a proxy for pressure. The model does not take into account factors like the player, whether the ball was kicked with their preferred or non-preferred foot, and pressure on the player when taking the shot. Rushed behinds are excluded from actual and expected scores.

Round 6, 2024 MCG - Tigers vs Demons

The ANZAC theme appeared to spill over into the game with a brutal "in the trenches" first half, followed with a decent salvo in the second.

Lever just pipped to the post by Maxy.  I reckon they both deserved the medal with Rick having a massive 15 intercepts.

Maysie back to his best and more!  Tracc did pretty well considering the tag and Rivers continuing on with his improved form as the season rolls on.

I believe there was some sort of Disco Inferno last night!  Let's take a look at the young fella's forward foray!

10 effectives % 76.9 (above AFL average at approx 74%), 1 contested mark, 4 marks inside 50, 2 one percenters, 6 inside 50s, 1 tackle inside 50, 1 intercept, 380 meters gained, only 2 turnovers, 3 sausage rolls and our No.1 rated forward.

Clarry still a long way off his 2023 (and prior) best but hopefully with another decent break he can recoup and come out all guns blazing against the Puddy Cats.  Viney also way off his usual standards in these last two matches and can hopefully regain some of his early season form soonish.  Chin a mile off his usual levels as well in this match.

Similar to the Lions match, our top six players had a VG night.  Eclipsing their 2023 average rating by over 8%.  The bottom six not so good, still a long way down on the 2023 rating by a hefty 37%.  An improvement vs the Lions result though, where they were a massive 61% off the 2023 average.

Thanks DD I know that we are playing the long game to be better at the tail end of the season but we are performing below where we need to be to be more competitive. The next two weeks will tell the story, do we have to many kids in the mix, when do we introduce Fullarton, McAdam and Hunter into the side?? After watching GWS tonight they have the tools and the talent to bat very deep again this year.

After watching GWS tonight they have the tools and the talent to bat very deep again this year.

The best rated offence going at the moment.

Their "all ground" defence laat season was right up there also.

Their weakness this year is their defence vs the counter attack where they're rated the worst.

They're also the 4th worst team at defending the turnover behind North, West Coast and the Bombers.

The Pies have also changed up their pressure / turnover focus this season. 

They've gone from focussing on turnover and their damaging sling shot counter attack off HB last year, to more of a forward half 'score off turnover' style so far this season.  Rated only 2nd behind thr Blues in this area.

They're presently rated 18th from scoring off back half turnovers this season!

Port are the 5th easiest team to score against when the ball goes inside their D50.  Only North are worse at winning ground ball in their D50.

Their ground ball defense in D50 vs the Pies was the 2nd worst performance ever recorded by Champion data in their 25 years of monitoring.

Might explain how the Pies were able to come back so well last week.

Lastly, the Bombers, while rated 13th in getting first possession, are rated the 2nd best team at stripping the ball off the oppo and clearing the ball so far.

After yesterday's performance i would under rate them at your peril.  Starting to get their act together.

Dees are listed as

- bottom 4 disposal efficiency 

- below AFL avg contested possessions

 bottom 6 in contested possessions 

- bottom 4 handball efficiency

- bottom 4 centre clearances 

- below afl avg inside 50s

unbelievable that we are not the contest kings as other clubs have lifted their smarts and intensity in the middle and at stoppage 

But we are strong in 

- leading intercept marks

- average points against (66) is the lowest 

Our Defence is Very Very Good 

Our midfield is just average right now 

Our forward line is still a 15 year work in progress

Thanks Norm.  A few uglies in there.

On that last point we may have found one in Disco and there's only upside ahead with the Petty role, where we've basically been a KF down up forward given his disastrous form so far.

Yes i realise he's coming from a long way back after a double set back but having him playing at such a low ebb is a big price for the team to carry at this level.

If Petty can improve over the next few weeks, even by 10% to 20% that would be something.  I just hope it doesn't cost us in a big way against the top liners if he doesn't.

On another positive note.... post the 2023 bye, we were ranked 17th in moving the ball (transition) off HB into the 50.  So far this season we are ranked No.3

That's a massive improvement and shows we are probably in the early phase of adjusting to a significant change up in game style.  It would appear we are looking to bring the ball out with some precision to HB and then sling shot from there vs the traditional dump down the line we witnessed for the most part of 2022 & 2023.

Bringing the ball out to just over 50 or so before attempting to slingshot quickly forward also means that if we turn the ball over it's potentially a bit more easier to defend vs a quick dump kick that is roughly a 50/50 outcome at ground level and as a result is often coming straight back in from around the arc?

I think where the change may begin to fall down is vs a very good pressure side that pushes up high and makes it difficult for us to slice and dice our way out of the square or deep in defence up to about 50 through to the wing before launching.

Not that that's a revelation in itself.  It's been pretty obvious since Rnd 2 and many have spoken about it over the weeks since.  I believe there was even mention of a change coming during the pre-season.  But the above improvement confirms that this change is definitely happening and the effort and results are now showing.

You need some decent speed on the exit as well as post getting it to the launch spot and sling shoting. 

Harder to do vs higher level opponents or lessor ones having a day out?

Works a gem against lessor opponents who don't bring as much pressure or don't push so high?

We possibly turn it over more and don't look so good against the former.  Which is a given and why the better opps are rated as such. 

Unless of course we improve in this change up with continued practice and improved disposal accuracy as the season goes on!

Round 7, 2024 MCG - Demons vs Cats

King Clarry returns, stonewall May does it again and a rookie steps up on the big stage!

A big statement win fellow minions.

The top 6 really gave us a boost with a +16% rating vs the (top 6) 2023 season rating.  What a performance given the quality of the oppo.

Early days and would want to see a few follow up performances but it would appear the finger operation has had the desired effect with King Clarry turning the clock back, eclipsing his 2023 average rating by 5% against the top of the table Cats for a No.1 result alongside May.

Maysie take a bow.  What a performance from the champ down back.  One of his best ratings in the red and blue.  His best ever against the Giants in Rnd 5, 2022 where he posted a 5.675  Not far off that and against a serious contender speaks volumes and 64% up on his 2023 H&A season rating.

Lever easily one of our best, if not the best on the night (alongside Maxy), coming in in the No.4 spot.  55% improvement on his 2023 rating.  Outstanding.

T-Mac.  Took the chocolates in the Cameron stoush.  Super stuff from our veteran warrior.  Not his best rating for the season though.  That was against the Lions with an impressive 4.275  Probably still his best for the year though given the assignment and the result where he kept a rampaging Cameron (from previous weeks) to zero goals.

Caleb's break out game for those who aren't taking much notice outside of supporters and the four walls?  Doubt many imagined him hitting such heights so early in the season.  If you did i tips me hat!  Let's have a squiz at the numbers from the young colt...

15 Effectives @ 83% efficiency (AFL average approx 74%), 1 mark inside 50, 2 one percenters, 1 clearance, 1 rebound, 3 inside 50s, 6 tackles (One of those the fab,chase down inside 50.  Equal best for us alongside Viney & ANB.  Atkins the most on the night with a massive 11), 9 score involvements (equal best for both teams alongside Tracc!), 8 intercepts, 309 meters gained, 1 goal and a miserly 2 turnovers.

Have to say that is a 'Clarryesque' type performance in his rookie year (obviously in a 'winger role' not in a mid field sense).

Maxy, well what can you say that hasn't already been said.  Another outstanding Captains game from the champ and although his rating doesn't indicate such i would say right up there with May & Lever as BOG.  Certainly close to MVP anyway yes?

Can't leave knuckles McVee out either.  Posting a rating that's 100% up on his 2023 average is incredible.  Including 19 effectives running at 90% and a massive 11 intercepts - the equal 2nd best on the night (Guthrie 11), just behind Lever (12).   

Bring on the baggers!

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
