Who can do the overlay graph of australian recessions of the last 100 Years and the Form line of the MFC?

It's just a theory I want either proven or disproved.

    Australia has had growth for 20 years now, but in that time the Demons have been up and down like an economist's forecasts. Hard to see a recent correlation.

    I have a thought that I want to clear in my mind, that it may be that our MFC success era's may coincide with Australia's recessionary times.

    I tried last night to find suitable graphs, but couldn't find anything good enough to check this out.

    Agree. You cant graph recession. You could possibly grapg quarterly GDP growth.

    And "recession" is a label to series of a economic outcomes over a period of time where the measure of recession is not uniform.

    For the record, 1974,1983,1990-91,2008-09 were periods of economic downturn with the label recessionary periods.

    His theory must be true then. I'm still recovering from all that success we had in 2008 and 2009.

    personally I think there is a much closer relationship to MFC premierships and sun spot activity. Has anyone here had a close look at it?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
