What about being scored against in the first minute of a quarter . 

We seemed to have owned that title a few years back and have welcomed it back with open arms this year.

    What about the Dees kicking a goal followed immediately by the opposition kicking a goal?

    No better illustration of the impact of an interrupted preseason and the resulting inability to get close to the necessary fitness level.

    For the same reason I'll bet we are at the bottom of the tables for score against in the last quarter and second half

    I'll bet we're close to last for both inaccuracy for and accuracy against. Poor tired legs. ?

    This isn't silly. Fine motor skills like kicking accuracy would improve with decreased heart rate etc. Low fitness therefore affects this.

    Complete lack of fitness. 

    Darren Burgess start your engine 

    Ramp it up

    i do wonder whether Dave Misson has taken his eye off the ball even slightly, after announcing he was leaving. Doesn’t take much

    And as i posted on another thread fatigue exposes poor technique and we have a surfeit of players with poor technique

    I'm not denying we may be unfit to run out quarters but surely if a team is not scoring much generally then it is likely to be at the bottom of any table showing low scoring at any period in a quarter, not just the end.     That data doesn't necessarily show that we are worse in those 5 minutes than in any other 5 minutes.  Perhaps it should be normalised by the total a team scores?  Or am I missing something?

    Yes ... Mental weakness.

    That's an interesting point. Our points against this year is 1,907 so the time-on against score of 635 represents 33%. Let's say there's on average 30mins of game time in a qtr, so that means there's close to 33% of our scores against us happen in the last 10 mins of play. 

    Comparing to Geelong who's total points against is 1,401; their 471 scores conceded also represents 33% - so it's all relative really.

    Bottom line: Points conceded in time on is basically an exact mirror of the points conceded as a whole - therefore this analysis doesn't really provide any different insight.

    Melbourne’s overall percentage for the season is 77.9%.

    It’s percentage in time on is 77.2% so there’s no significant difference.

    The stats that I would be interested in would be our scores for and against (and percentage) in final quarters this year and also our relative shooting accuracy percentage (last week 29 v 75 for the Swans).

     I suspect both figures will go a long way to help us understand what ailed the club in 2019.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
