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: 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
