    Wonderful stat.......

    can we have that stat since Goodwin coached please.

    The median is Richmond at 31... we are nearly double

    Plot all those on a bell curve and we are off the scale............... depressing

    We have been a crap side for so long. It would be great if we consistently played finals and gave supporters some sustained success.

    Good question

    Under Goodwin's Tenure

    2016 - 5

    2017 - 4

    2018-5

    2019-7

    2020-2* so far

    *23 over 4 and a bit seasons.

    So that is essentially every 5th game  we will have a scoreless quarter

    The previous 4 seasons 2012 yielded the other 34, essentially every 2.5 games.

    Hmmm... 5 in '18 and 7 in '19: it looks like it's the OTHER quarters that make the diff!

    However, 100% improvement, to better than "median Richmond", under Goodwin. Hmmm...

    Are we including 2016? Come to think of it, it actually reads worse since the start of 2017.

    Fair point, Zeph - 2 already has us well on track for a number-sequenced 10 this year!?

    Oh my God, that is a disgrace. 
    Journalist’s need to put this to Goodwin

    so sick of the “nice” questions at any presser

    4th year after a magnificent training regime....

    2018 had 14 wins and we were the highest scoring team in the league, with a percentage of 131.4.

    These stats in isolation don 't paint a particularly clear picture.

    Is it?

    21 in the four years under him but 37 in the previous four years.

    Mind you neither period was flash and there is little question that Goodwin has a superior list to the 2012 to 2015 period.

    Call it what you will there is no evidence to suggest that this game plan overall is more successful than others. 2018 is held up as the golden example but there were a lot of blowout wins that year. The games won factor was not spectacular (although better than our usual) and of course we failed mainly against the better teams.

    5, 4, 5, 7... can't see an aberration there... maybe the 7, but that would make 2019 the odd one out.

    I personally think this stat is meaningless in isolation... after doing it manually I cannot be bothered to check any other clubs.

    However what it does note, is that both through periods of quarters and through entire games 30/60 minutes at a time - either the FD or players do not know or cannot at will stem the tide. 

    I don't know if its statistically significant more than the majority of other non top4/premiership winning clubs, ie: is Melbourne different from the rest of the comp?

    So you and I agree whetherr we had 14 wins or five wins doesnt change the storey

    what about most quarters won in a row ?

    It is, the Roos years team was 20 times worse than the one under Goodwin as you state. I would expect it to be less than that and getting better, not worse, 2 games this year, 2 goalless efforts, one vs Carlton ffs.

    That rings a bell @markc, was that relevant to our barnstorming run in 2018?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
