Today was the worst. 

Round 1: West Coast first goal
Round 2: Carlton first goal
Round 4: Geelong - 2 in the first 5 minutes
Round 5: Richmond - first goal
Round 6: We got the first one! Suns the next 2
Round 7: Hawks get the first 2 goals
Round 8: Lions first goal
Round 9: Port kick 3 in quick succession
Round 10: 1 goal for us, 0 for Adelaide
Round 11: Neither team score for half the quarter
Round 12: Collingwood kick 2 points from easy chances in the first 5 minutes, look the better side
Round 13: Dogs go bang bang bang

We've looked really flat after half time for most of the season. 

Oliver was getting a blister dressed just before play started. Why didn't he do that in the 20 or however many minutes he had? 

Something in the routine needs changing because it's completely unacceptable and should be preventable. And it's not game plan related either, it's all mental.

 

 

I like where you're going, but not sure classifying 1 goal as a 'fast start' makes it a great analysis (by your usual lofty standards).

Agree but as stats go it's interesting and we are way on the wrong side of that stat.

Seems to me we could be better on the first goal of the match stat

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.
