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

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...

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?

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
