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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
