Thanks mate, and no problem at all! I have updated the format of the Key Team Stats table to include Melbourne's average for 2025 and 2026 with 2026 bolded to hopefully assist readability. If this becomes too overwhelming, I could look at including the key season summary stats in a separate table.

Here is the updated table for round 1:

Disposal Retention	73.4	75.4	-2.0	70.5	73.4	71.3

Thanks so much for this update. Makes really interesting reading. Standout is the metres gained from handballs compared to last year and the retention i50. One other suggestion on formatting would be to switch the 2026 and 2025 stats so the 2026 ones are right next to the other current stats and the 2025 ones come after just as a comparison if you want that.

That is very disappointing demon Dynasty, you are my third go to after joeboy and Demonland Votes, those stats helped me back up what I thought I was seeing at the games and making me reassess my thoughts on some players. Let’s hope there is a fix just around the corner. 👍😎

Yep that's pretty much what I used it for DZ. I'd compare to what i'd seen on the day or while watching the replay before casting my DL POTY votes.

Have to say after watching Sunday's game I reckon we'll be much more easy on the eye vs some of the recent years where we could barely get to 8 - 10 goals or so on many occasions.

That was a joy to watch. Much rather that style, even if we cough up a few gettable games playing that way.
