    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

    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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
