I was making a joke

It’s a complete misuse of statistics. Melbourne’s ‘expected score’ shouldn’t be an average of kicking accuracy league wide, it should come from an average of Melbourne’s own kicking accuracy. And clearly theirs is below league average because of their poor kicking skills.

Put another way to reach the same amount of points Melbourne needs more scoring shots and more inside 50s than other teams. So they pump it i50 at all costs with extremely long kicks from their mids. If one game was a statistical anomaly then they’d have a point but both their finals and the Kings bday game shows that it’s part of their gameplan (this is from memory I’m sure it’s been a thing all
season).

The fact that the coach is publicly backing the plan (they ‘dominated the game’ against us according to Goodwin which is nonsense except the last quarter) shows pure stubbornness in the face of data.

I also wonder if a dinky off balance snap ala kozzy close to goal really takes into Ex that the shot is no real chance. As opposed to shots on goal by players who tke enough time and balance. I reckon both of them get marked as shots in play, maybe under pressure - although i dont know how they calculate the Ex for each shot. I bet it isnt that accurate

Expected score is a really bad stat. Not just that it's based on league averages and that it's very difficult to determine the difficulty of a non set shot.

The worst of it is that it's given as a score. Ignoring that changing the outcome of any shot completely changes the game. Goal instead of a point, ball goes to the middle, who knows what happens from there, etc.

The other problems still remain but if they presented it as difficult goals kicked, easy goals missed etc, maybe just gave the chance to goal for each shot, or rolled it up into a single "accuracy against average" stat, it would be more acceptable.

No Payne has given them a small sniff.

I'd rather their nose was blocked the f*** up.

Carlton have never won an interstate final. Let’s hope that continues tomorrow night.

They haven’t been in to many finals series since the AFL tbh which is prob why

How good to sit back and relax and watch this

Praying for a brutal bruising affair. A couple of minor 10 day injuries wouldn’t go astray

Do we seek redemption against the blues or bears? Does Bolton or Leppitsch square off against the club they once coached?

 

[3rdMan]

Lions to win. Hopefully in extra time, but think they're going to do it a bit easier than that.

 

[Football God]

Me tomorrow watching them hopefully knock the shit out of eachother.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Hopefully the game doesn’t turn into a bruise free easy ride, if one side kicks away

Just smack the suitcase out of each other.

This year get revenge for 02 and 03. Next year beat Carlton and be the first to 17

Now if the Lions can do a job on the Blues and have a few in the casualty ward that miss next week that’ll make my weekend.

Thank god the Power didn’t hire Kingsley and kept Barbies offsider on.

A win and a hamstring strain for Harris Andrews would do nicely (only to balance out McStay loss).

 

[Anzacday]

Gotta feel for the Carlton supporters anxiously awaiting the start of their game.
On second thoughts F*** em.

I don't wish injuries on anyone generally.
I've changed my thinking today after reading your post.
Hoping for a KPP or midfielder to go down in today's game.
Bring it footy gods.

It's usually us with the bad luck.

A report or two would also be just as awesome

Daniher's the one we'd want to miss.
