A statistic to make you even more worried

Fitzroys last seven seasons in the AFL ran from 1990-96. In that time they took the field 152 times for 38 wins and 114 losses. Their best effort in a season over that time was 1993 when they went 10 and 10 ( a 20 round season). They had a winning percentage of 25.

Our last seven seasons (including 2013 which is obviously only 1 round old) reads as follows. From a total of 133 matches from 2007 to now we have won 32, lost 99 and drawn 2 for a winning percentage of 24. Our best efforts over that time were 2010 and 2011 when we went 8 wins, 13 losses and a draw in both years. When you factor in that we have had the relative luxury of playing GWS twice last season and Gold Coast 3 times over the last couple of years (5 wins in total) the evidence that we are in fact much worse than Fitzroy is compelling.

Not withstanding our financial position is somewhat healthier than the old Lions.

    Does this mean we're going to merge with Brisbane soon?

    I am not worried, I am excited, this is another topic started today on the same subject, another few and we can apply to the Guiness Book of Records, we lost, everybody is shattered, the Club is working on it, if you want to move to Tassie vote for it at next Board meeting

    Hmm, the point is not that we lost, more that we have been losing for a very long time. And in fact, it's not the only the losing but the total lack of competitiveness. Perhaps this one just hurts that little bit more because for whatever reason our expectations were higher this time around.

    The best stat in football is still that since 1982 Fitzroy has made the finals more times than Richmond. I love it how this continues to hold up year after year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
