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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
