Midseason Report Card

SportsNews
5 June 2018

RICHMOND. Grade: A.

Second with nine wins, two losses. What a premiership defence thus far. The Tigers continue to be a masterly benchmark of the pressure-packed style which delivered last year’s flag. They only travel interstate three more times and meet the Suns, Bombers and Bulldogs in a kind run into the finals. Top two beckons.

I think we were 10-1 back in 1995 . Only time I can remember a better win loss record.

Feels so good to be king .

I was a little worried about the Essendon game, we had been a little off, and they would have been chock full of confidence, nice to smack 'em and hand out a reality check

I think we limped through that last block of games after the Anzac day eve clash into the short game turnaround v the pies. Perhaps we were able to regroup a little after the saints game and set ourselves up for Dreamtime.

I think Saturday night was the best we've played all year. Just a little cleaner with our disposal, set ups looked rock-solid. We absorbed a meek throwdown from the Dons in the second term and crushed them from there.

Next two weeks very telling. Must get at least 1 win from here going in to the bye.

Stats wise this year, we have the most scope for improvement compared to the other top 8 sides.


The stats files: The three keys to winning games in 2018

Only one team out of 30 this year has lost when it won contested possessions, disposal efficiency and pressure factor in the same game.

The three categories also stand strong in isolation this season: contested possessions (65.6 per cent success rate), disposal efficiency (69 per cent) and pressure factor (62.2 per cent).

Sides win 90.9 per cent of matches when they win contested possessions and disposal efficiency; 81.8 per cent with contested possessions and pressure factor; and 73.5 per cent from disposal efficiency and pressure factor.

Interestingly, second-placed reigning premier Richmond comes in no higher than 12th in any of them.

CLUB          CONTESTED      DISPOSAL     PRESSURE
                 POSSESSIONS   EFFICIENCY    FACTOR
                (DIFFERENTIAL)     

West Coast       4TH                5TH             15TH
Richmond       12TH              14TH             12TH
Melbourne        1ST                9TH               5TH
Sydney            6TH                8TH             13TH
Geelong           5TH              11TH             14TH
North Melb.      3RD              17TH               1ST
Collingwood     2ND                1ST               7TH
Port Adelaide  11TH              13TH               3RD

Three other statistics are more important to team success this year compared to last.

Hit-outs (the ruck revolution), shot-at-goal accuracy (amid 50-year lows in scoring) and handball metres gained (the Tiger effect) have all rocketed in statistical influence on victories.

direct football is the best football. some teams (and we were like that in 2016) feel you need to have a disposal chain of 200+ possessions per goal. I like our long kicking to genuine 50-50 contests and direct use of the ball which kicked off last year

agree with this - think we've just been going and getting the job done which is pretty much what u want at this time of the year.

Expecting us to click into top gear similarly to last season once Prestia and rioli are back and have a few games under the belt

How are we 12th for Pressure Factor? How is that useless stat measured?

Pressure factor 12th...  :shh

Just keeping the powder dry for September.

This sounds silly, but maybe we were quite happy to lose to West Coast. The second quarter was us testing them out, and we got what we needed from that. We're not showing our hand yet.  :shh

Teams play 22 games in a season, the majority of sides have played 11 - so isn't that half the season  :-\

Would be interested to see what we were ranked in these stats last year.
