    Not surprised.

    Their accuracy has been unsustainable recently. 15.4, 17.6, 18.8, 12.6.

    You don't win prelims and GF's if you have less scoring shots than the oppo and have to rely on accuracy.

    Hawthorn was 0-5 with a percentage of 64%. Their turnaround has been ridiculous.

    The finals are going to fantastic this year. Glad to be back on board to watch neutral footy (hopefully) without the Pies in September.

    How far can Freo, Dogs and Cats go are my curiosities? (And of course the Dees if we make it lol)

    Hawks are such a wild turn of events, I can't comprehend them getting there and doing something, it's too weird. Get back down the bottom please.

    I was listening to Hoyney and he still puts Carlton and Sydney MILES ahead of every other team in scoring from turn overs the most important stat for winning a flag. But Sydney has had a very average month and Brisbane are climbing . You can't go past any of those 3 teams to be there on GF day at present I think. But who knows.

    Here is my expected scores ladder based on expected wins. Rather than distilling the expected scores for a given match down to a win/loss/draw, the xWin % for a given match is the probability of the team winning given the expected scores.

    I wonder what the ladder would look like if you also included expected inside 50 kicks to leading forwards. 
     

    I.e. if entries went to leading players as opposed to on top of/over/completely missing the target that doesn’t result in a score. 
     

    Too time consuming I know, but I’d love to know.

    Ol Squiggle can actually vary a bit depending upon its own algorithms.

    I often do it 3/5 times and take the 'mean' 

    As such...

    The Dogs are a real chance for the Expected Score Flag this year

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
