Analysis The Stats and nothing but the Stats

[Swannie0307]

Have been starting to come around to the club’s “3 tall forwards” strategy… and this stat which was highlighted on 360 certainly reinforces why Horse and his staff are so bullish on it.
Unlike previous years with Buddy, it was mentioned (by Lyon I think) that “teams just don’t know where the ball is going to?”, hence we are now a very difficult team to defend against

PS. I also like how if 1 or 2 of the talls are having a quieter game, another one steps up and has a big game (e.g., Amartey against the Cats).

 

[Callipygian]

caesar88 thanks for your outstanding work analysing the games and posting the data about first touches, especially that last one.

FWIW, I support you to discontinue the team stats and instead focus on the individuals which are more diverse and illuminating. I imagine it's a fair bit of work to compile your tables and now that you've done it, it seems like it may not be worth the effort to continue all of it. Of course we wouldn't know that if you hadn't done it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

We're also not the only team who runs 3 talls.

Carlton go with Curnow, McKay and TDK
Giants: Hogan, Riccardi, Cadman

I'm sure there are others but I don't understand the focus on us so much

Those 2 sides have 2 of the leading Coleman contenders. We don't. That's why

Asked Swamp this question on Twitter and the stats meet the eye test. Average first quarter but the premiership quarter is well and truly ours

192% in the premiership quarter. Love to see it

Yet we're the highest scoring team

 

[Millky95]

Yet we're the highest scoring team

I think it's because of how we are sharing the load. We have 7 players who average over a goal a game

Our top 8 scorers: Amartey, Hayward, McDonald, McLean, Papley, Warner, Heeney and Gulden outscore like 6 sides on average as they combine for 80 points or so a night

Yeah, 12.3 goals a game from them alone is kinda nuts. That alone beats: Brisbane, Adelaide, Essendon, Freo, Hawks, Melbourne, Saints, North, Eagles and Richmond.

Would sit 9th for average goals a game

Freakish that from FT and EFT Grundy is our second best midfielder.

Freakish that from FT and EFT Grundy is our second best midfielder.

And that's with him being predominantly a stoppage specialist in this regard! Imagine if he becomes just as prolific in centre bounces... (not that we necessarily need him to be)

Q2’s not too shabby either

 

[Swannie0307]

Freakish that from FT and EFT Grundy is our second best midfielder.

Mentioned this before, he’s the best 2-1 deal ever!
Strong ruck, PLUS that really big bodied midfielder that we desperately needed

 

[Membling]

Average winning margin - 37.5
Average losing margin - 5

[Ticky009]

The case can be made that Grundy will be featuring high in our end of year awards this year

Can't imagine it otherwise. No lower than top 6 and possibly top 3.

19 of the first 20 are midfielders. Perhaps we should let up.on the umps in the Brownlow.

 

[caesar88]

19 of the first 20 are midfielders. Perhaps we should let up.on the umps in the Brownlow.

Any award with a vote cap per game will always end up a midfielders award unfortunately.
