If it's possible would love to see the amount of *Pressure Acts* Between players.

No I don't have those on me.

Other interesting stats

1. Freo are 1st in conceding the least amount of inside 50s, they really do strangle you.
2. They are 6th in contested possession rate, but haven't won a contested possession count in all 7 games.
3. The #2 and #3 tackling sides in the comp, prepare for a ball up fest

 

[grimlock]

I'm sorry that I didn't have time to post the stats up last night as I was busy preparing for something important this morning. I can post them up later if anyone's interested (highly doubtful)

But scanning through the numbers during the week, a few things stood out to me. One, the stats say Collingwood have a relatively porous defence. Opposition sides have penetrated their defences quite easily judging by the number of scores relative to the number of forward 50 entries. Two, They have the lowest number of hitouts and the highest number of uncontested marks in the game. They like to control the ball and if it can be helped, not to get into to too many ball up situations.

It's okay Grim I think we can forgive you just this once

Just watching them play so far this year (without analyzing them in great detail), they still have great depth, but they don't seem to be as formidable as say, the Hawks, and your stats appear to support this. Still, one would have to be nuts to take them lightly, given the players they have to come back in, and their track record. Are certainly a massive contender for a top 4 spot. This would be a great opportunity to beat them, but this is negated by the fact that our defence is undermanned, so they are favourites tonight I reckon.

grimlock you are a genius! The game panned out almost exactly how you described. I couldn't believe how much space we found inside forward 50. If we had kicked straight early on, it could have gotten ugly...

 

[grimlock]

27 scoring shots from 45 inside 50 entries vs 15 scoring shots from 54 inside 50 entries. Efficiency at its best.

He's having a brilliant year isn't he? Also 41st in one-percenters (3rd at the Swans after Ted and Reg) so he's been good in the defensive stuff as well.

The two numbers that stick out for me from the above are the centre clearances (as distinct from total clearances, which I still think can be misleading, but that's another tale...), where the Bombers are ranked #3 to our #14, and the contested marks where they are first. On the short SCG the likes of Crameri, Gumbleton, Ryder and Bellchambers (when they go forward) could be a nightmare to handle if they win the ball cleanly from the centre bounces... yet I am still tipping Sydney to win. Go figure.

I do love stats, and must say thanks Grimlock for taking the time to put these is a usable form for us.
I know i looked at trying to do something similar last year, but after working with large statistical well organised databases found it was very time consuming getting AFL stats into an easily usable format.

I am interested in the amount of fluids players drink during a game (in L/quarter)

Big stat is the rebounding. We are 1st and they are 17th. We just need to keep the ball inside 50.

 

[Ships]

I had no idea we were ranked 1st in goalkicking accuracy. I knew we had improved, but that's good to see. Tip of the hat.
