Completely different era. The AFL is now a socialist league, which means that they want as many even games as possible. When you push for that kind of parity, all it takes is missing two or three players or a couple of players down on form to tip the scales massively. Or do you think that...

See Cameron/Cox last year. The thing about playing any kind of ruck in a key forward position is that the opposition needs to believe that the ruck is a marking threat. Notice that in the first quarter, Moore was all at sea because he wasn't sure when to screen off Soldo because he thought that...

Not excuses. Collingwood had a pressure rating that was good in the first quarter and then ramped it up to elite in the second and third quarters. Port was at elite in the first quarter, was still elite in the second quarter but wasn’t able to maintain the same level of energy cause they didn’t...

We’ll see that’s the thing. It’s not like we were super s**t at contested possession - we had 120 for the game. It’s just that Collingwood had 161. Our average is around 126. Collingwood is 133 for the year. Now reconcile that with the fact that we were leading contested possession by 1 at...

+41 contested possessions to Collingwood. De Goey 15 contested possessions vs Horne-Francis 13 Daicos 15 contested possessions vs Rozee 9 Mitchell 14 contested possessions vs Wines 11 Cameron 11 contested possessions vs Soldo 6 Cox 8 contested possessions vs Sweet 2 Sidebottom 7 contested...

Premiership standard is 100> points for, <87 points against. Melbourne put +30 points over their expected score. 5 goals that they shouldn't have kicked on probabilities, they did. And yet you are talking about the Fremantle and Essendon games skewing the data? Richmond, West Coast and...

Article on SEN saying that a lot of clubs believe that Lukosius is gettable this year.

"Wait a minute. We all know the one thing we won't need on the MCG. Pressure forwards who don't put on pressure and can't kick goals - that's you McEntee! McEntee is the only useless player on the team. If anyone gets dropped, it should be him! So let's kick McEntee out!" Out: McEntee In: Boak

Rookie Me Central, so anything's possible :P

Who says the others aren't doing different things? Georgiades averages 2 marks on a lead per game (5th in the competition for key forwards, 6th overall) Marshall averages 1.8 marks on a lead per game (7th in the competition for key forwards, 11th overall) Finlayson averages 1 mark on a lead per...

Scouting notes from U18 game MOTR in Round 1: #21 Rome Burgoyne Defender | 182cm | 29/08/2006 Smooth moving and well drilled, Burgoyne’s running on the outside was a balance of power and poise, able to size his options up further up the ground. Burgoyne’s want to create new avenues in...

You need to be able to do both. Harry McKay - 3.8 contested marks per game, 1.6 marks on lead, 3.4 marks inside 50 Charlie Curnow - 3 contested marks per game, 1.6 marks on lead, 3,2 marks inside 50 Jesse Hogan - 2.2 contested marks per game, 2.0 marks on lead, 5.2 marks inside 50 Tom Hawkins -...

Dixon averages 7.4 one-on-one targets per game (including the Fremantle game). Charlie Dixon had 10 one-on-ones against Fremantle and managed to win 2 of them. That reduced his one-on-one win rate to 35.1% So this is easy to work out: 5 games at 7.4 per game = 37 contests at 35.1% = 13...

As for Montagna questioning our targeting of Dixon - why do these *******s wait until a game where the opposition literally puts 16 players behind the ball to show vision of this? "The Power have won 41.7% of their offensive one-on-ones this season – ranked No.1. Tonight they have won just...

My position on David King being a ******* has nothing to do with Port. It's to do with the fact that when he gets on a hobby horse (like head knocks) he wants to take it to the absolute extreme (stop every single action that could possibly result in a knock to the head) instead of accepting that...

Call me a masochist but I actually watched this game again. Once you accepted the fact that it was going to be a boring as *, dour, defensive game thanks to Fremantle putting all but two players behind the ball in defence, it actually was pretty intriguing seeing how we tried to unlock...

XScore doesn't think so. Port Adelaide vs Melbourne Inside 50 differential - 66 to 45 Inside 50 to goal % - 19.7% to 33.3% Set Shots - 5/14 (35.7%) to 8/10 (80%) 7 of Melbourne's 10 set shots were on a greater than 30 degree angle. Melbourne vs Brisbane Inside 50 differential - 50 to...

Suggested on SEN by Kane Cornes that Adelaide should go after Caleb Daniel.

Port vs Melbourne: 66 inside 50s, 19.7% inside 50 to goal conversion rate Brisbane vs Melbourne: 58 inside 50s, 20.7% inside 50 to goal conversion rate If you want to know what 1% difference is - if Brisbane had 66 entries, they would have scored 93 points to our 89. Conversely, if we had...

Transposed set shots from the Xscore graphs onto this graph so you can get an accurate representation of where we are taking shots from.

Your thread states that we somehow have a failure of converting inside 50s into goals compared to other teams in the competition, and that its a failure of our gameplan because we don't hit up forwards on a lead when its really just a matter of set shot accuracy from places that we should be...

Cal Twomey says we are in the hunt for UFA Harry Perryman from the Giants.

What about them? Most would say 2020 was our best shot at a premiership. Shots: 2020 - 2nd 2021 - 4th 2022 - 9th 2023 - 4th 2024 - 1st Hitouts to advantage differential: 2020 - 8th 2021 - 5th 2022 - 17th 2023 - 16th 2024 - 2nd Intercept marks differential: 2020 - 12th 2021 - 6th 2022 -...

This is not factual. All scoring charts, including the Melbourne game, show that we are generating no more difficult shots than any other team in the competition. Melbourne won against us for no other reason than they kicked goals they statistically wouldn’t have. Anyone who suggests otherwise...

It allows us to directly compare Port Adelaide to Sydney, specifically team to opponent differential, which illustrates any strengths or weaknesses in our gameplan compared to the Swans - who most would say are travelling pretty well. Our gameplan is what this thread is bitching about, because...
