Re: Goaltracker Reply #210 – July 17, 2017, 05:47:40 pm Quote from: kruddler – on July 17, 2017, 05:39:25 pm@Paul....what is your point?I've just got through explaining how stats can show a style of gameplan and (in this style at least) are best suiting to 'vs opponent' comparisons.Your collingwood example is great. But they could lose the inside 50 count every week.So should it be celebrated that they are 4th?It is actually possible that a team who is last in inside 50's actually wins the inside 50 count every week too. The point I was making is that the I50 stat is more misleading than most, and requires a context more than most. When you have forwards that struggle to keep the ball in F50 and apply defensive pressure, the ball comes out far too easily. In combination with this, we have a team that plays Bolton's bus, which means they are often struggling to make good field position to apply pressure, because they're too far down field, which doesn't help our forwards.

You wont win many games being last or close to last for Inside 50's and the same with clearances, add poor disposal efficiency(14th) ..good luckbeing a forward in Navy Blue on that set of numbers...couple that with poor conversion(Matt Wright excepted) when we do get the ball down forward and itstough to win. The game plan of defensively strangling the opposition and hoping to kick rebound goals is great in a learning phase when you are teaching basics and defensive techniques but obviously cant be retained long term.

Re: Goaltracker Reply #213 – July 20, 2017, 01:09:02 pm In 2014 Melbourne scored 1336 points for the year, in 2015 they scored 1573 points for the year, last year they scored 1944 points and this year they are on track to exceed this total. we are not scoring enough. We need to score one goal a quarter more and not have any blowiouts like the Port Adelaide game and we will be in the eight. It gets back to what Bolton was saying last year, "think Bamboo".

Re: Goaltracker Reply #215 – July 20, 2017, 08:12:44 pm Thryleon, I am not saying the situation at Melbourne is the same as Carlton's current situation, however, I was just showing a different recent case that could provide some insight to Carlton's woes, rather than simply regurgitating gloom and doom. Additionally, we have Harry Mckay & Patrick Kerr coming thru and we have Charlie Curnow showing some very good signs. Maybe we should be looking at the potential of the future and not the past.

Re: Goaltracker Reply #218 – July 21, 2017, 06:39:20 am I'd be a very happy camper if they get Saunders into the fold.....just looks like the type that will make a success of it....and provide plenty of highlights for the supporters!https://thewest.com.au/sport/south-fremantle-forward-ben-saunders-wafl-mark-of-the-year-contender-ng-b88504737z Quote Selected
Re: Goaltracker Reply #219 – July 21, 2017, 01:52:25 pm We probably need to find an experienced forward who can take the best defender whilst our younger guys develop, who is around?Anyone we can offer a one or two year deal to who would attract good defenders? Quote Selected

Does Levi attract the best defender/ second best each week and what is their impact on the game as a result.I have a feeling he moves around a bit too much.

Re: Goaltracker Reply #223 – July 21, 2017, 07:40:49 pm He gets the best defender and they usually keep him to 1 goal. When our defenders keep the opposition key forward to 1 goal we will see posts here saying Jones or Rowe gave player X a bath. Quote Selected
