Hey @WheeloRatings , thanks again for providing all these stats over the journey. Much appreciated.

I am wondering if it would be possible to get some stats on the players delivering the ball the most i50 and the result of their delivery. I read last week Trac has kicked the ball i50 this season 45 times and only one of those kicks has been marked. That's not my memory. I would be really interested to see which players kicks it most i50 in the team and what the mark/retention rate is for them. Thanks IT

    What is noticeable is that our players that are better by foot have a higher ratio of kicks to handpasses as compared to those who have previously been prone to bombing it long (or rushing their kicks forward)

    So Oliver, Petracca, Sparrow, Langdon, Rivers, Viney & Gawn are all handpassing the ball a lot more along with using the short pass a lot more

    Kicks/Handpass ratio for those players who have excellent kicking skills (against the Lions)

    Overall Kicks/Handpasses 228/142 (Total for the team)

    • Kozzie 14/7

    • Melk 11/0

    • Salem 17/3

    • Lindsay 14/5

    • Langford 11/8

    • T-Mac 12/4

    • May 14/1

    • McVee 11/2

    • Petty 8/2

    • Fritsch 5/2

    • Windsor 6/0

    • Chandler 7/4

    Those in and around the midfield are sharing the ball a lot more either by hand or by short passes

    • Oliver 8/15

    • Petracca 13/18

    • Gawn 12/10

    • Langdon 10/15

    • Rivers 14/10

    • Sparrow 9/7

    • Bowey 12/10

    The buy-in to playing short ball (or small ball) as opposed to rushing kicks forward (or long bombs) by our midfielders is at last starting to happen

    For those who were looking for the new game plan, it's starting to evolve

    But whether we can consistently adhere to sharing the ball more remains to be seen (even against the Eagles we had 70 turnovers often caused by errant kicks forward)

    That one extra handpass can often diminish the chances of the need to rush kicks forward (or the long bomb) ... to do that requires all the players to do that extra bit of running at pace (to provide the option)

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
