    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

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
