Demon Dynasty

Individual & Team - Weighted Average Scores Round 6, 2020 - Demons vs Suns (Giants Stadium) Melbourne Demons We lose the team score stat and still win the match. Pretty sure i haven't seen that happen too many times while putting these together. The suns had 11 players with under 50 games vs our 5 which might go some way towards explaining the result outlier here. Pretty sure there was a stat that says once you hit 9/10 players (or more) in the team with less than 50 games your chances of winning drop significantly. We are still 4% off our 2019 average team score which "might" be an indicator that we are still a fair way off where we need to be in order to compete with the better rated clubs. Time will tell.

Not a convincing win over the Suns by any means. Nonetheless, a solid steady win which i'll take any day over the rubbish we've dished up in the last season and a bit. If we believe the "Stats Insider" article from 25 June 2019 these three stats are the "real performance indicators"of the AFL stats world... ? Meters Gained Differential - Believe it or not this stat has the strongest correlation with success since it's induction. Extract from that article ... "From 2015 to 2018 there were 21 cases of a team achieving a 200+ meters gained differential over the course of the season. 20 of those 21 teams made AFL finals". ? Marks inside 50 differential - According to the article "Just three of the last 18 GF teams have been ranked outside of the league's top six for marks inside 50 differential". ? Contested Possession Differential - Again from this article... "Since 2010, we have 11 examples of teams who achieved a 10+ contested possession differential average over the course of a season. Nine of those teams found themselves playing on Prelim Final weekend". So i'll be tracking how we went in each of these three differentials each week vs our opponents from here along with the usual individual and team weighted average scores from both clubs. Let's take a look at this week's differentials shall we... Meters Gained Diff: Has the Demons winning this one by +537 meters. Demons 4,849 Suns 4,312 Marks i50 Diff: Demons winning by +8. Demons 12 Suns 4 (Weid did his job pretty well and we connected a little better on occasions). Contested Possession Diff: Again Demons by +24. Demons 127 Suns 103 That's three ticks. We'll see where this goes over the rest of the season fellow minions.

Thank Lucifer. We've started playing something resembling real footy again. Viney, Hannan and even AVB in the last.. Vn job

Wow talk about the AFL rigging games. Steven May wtf. Send him forward he is useless backman with ball in hand

Wtf Maxy....hit it away from THEIR goals not down to a dangerous spot. Omg MFCSS pending

Another Melk turnover. Nice run down and goal Hannan. Been good today. Why is Melk even on the ground?????????.?...???.?.?????...?.?..?????????????

How does Melk [censored] that up. I dont blame him thats SG & the selection committee continuing to play a terribly out of form player. Brown pls

Harnes... Kozzy... Fritschkreig! Kozzy smart play again. Forward NOUSE! Tracc's kicking running at 38%. AFL average about 68%

Kozzy to Bennell vn...probably touched bugger. Thats what we got Kozzy for

handball from Max smart altho not sure about going wide when u have corridor posi already

Great contest Weid. Viney front and square. Winning footy

very nice indeed....love the diagonal run from out wide coming through the corridor. Hawthorn esk

will need a very solid 2nd half to avoid being relegated for Rivers next week

Give him time Leon. When was the last time we saw a Melb player draw a kick when pretending to shoot at goal, hitting up a mid/forward leading into opportunistic space between 3 opposition players, leaving them scratching their heads?

he's being played as a forward / part time mid. He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field). One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think). Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

And draw the player for the overlap. We rarely ever do this under SG now. Used to early on in patches.

If you ever needed evidence that Clarry needs to find some finesse and finish in the middle...somehow.... that was it. Had a paddock in front, very little pressure and still manages to kick it into the player's back straight in front of him

Max just look for the short lateral or handball pls ....another ****ty turnover and goal from our own poor disposal

Really dumb play by May.. cost us a goal

Weid that is what you get paid to do son! Well done

Protect the corridor!

Clarry just kick that off the ground FFS

Smart delivery by Kozzy! Nice finish Harmes. Great 'FORWARD' confidence builder!! We're on!

Thats mostly team structure and playing to it. There's a mid or two who are getting sucked out either too wide or too forward instead of guarding the corridor a little more*. *Amatures best assessment from the bleaches without seeing behind goal footage. Could also be an [censored] up assessment.

Great chase down by Vanders. He needs to find another gear other than chasing / pressure though. Lets hope its coming...albeit maybe gradually. If he gets there he's a VG asset / bonus
