Article in AFL site caught my attention - The Inquirer: The inside 50 job
Some key points...*
The Good News
MFC are best team at converting I50 (51.5% of the time),
MFC are 5th hardest team to score against once ball I50 (43.2% of the time)
The Bad News
MFC have the Worst I50 For in competition (40.2 average)
MFC have the 15th I50 Against in comp (56.7 average)
MFC have worst I50 differential in comp (-16.5 per game)
Thoughts
We currently boast the "best I50 attack" and "5th best I50 defence", despite
Having the worst performing midfield, as highlighted by our worst I50 For and I50 Against.
Meaning if we fix the midfield, we should rise swiftly. As we all know...
but data like this should help attract midfield talent.
*these stats are based on rounds in 2015 played and MFC have played team currently placed 1, 4, 5, 6, 13, 16, so results should improve as play rest of comp.
