Interesting stat revealed during yesterday's game on ABC radio.

This season MFC leads the comp in the number of behinds kicked.

Late in the 4th quarter we were 62 goals...62 behinds

Definitely something to work on..my guess is that ideally goals should be double the behinds figure.

    Just imagine if we had kicked straight over the 5 weeks. 
     

    Jones is very lucky to be in the side. He has absolutely no right to that position if he misses absolute “sitters”

    Keep them practicing Mr. Williams

    We've actually kicked 65 goals and 72 behinds for the season, only Freo and North have worse conversion than us. Against us we've had 47 goals and 31 points kicked, so teams are very accurate, GWS kicked 11.2! Only Collingwood have a higher goals/points against ratio. 

    If we had the average goal/point ration for and against, our percentage would be sitting up at 177% (we'd still be sitting 2nd!)

    We also have yet to lose a last quarter, and the only other team to also do this we play this weekend coming.

    Imagine thinking your team was primed for a crack at the top four and five rounds into the season you’ve won the least amount of quarters in the league.

    Less than North ffs.

    As we have not had leading forwards up the centre we have forwards going wide . The wider you lead  the chances of goals are reduced. Fritsch is a good example ) 
    ( this  view was based on observation not knowing actual stats)

    I don't find that surprising at all. Imagine where our girls side would sit with such a stat.

    Brisbane are also 5-0 for final quarters. But we do have the highest 4thQ % - 151 - 74 - keeping in mind we've kicked 25 4thQ behinds as well! Need to hold on to Burgess any way we can.

    Thanks Skuit, overlooked that. I love that we've ran out games so well, the Burgess method he put in place last year has clearly continued on. We were hurt much worse than other teams last year with the shorten quarters IMO. 

    I'm wondering if we have a much larger percentage of goals against us close to goal, say within 15 meters, compared to the competition. Just thinking that our defense is doing so well that teams might be bombing long and hoping for the chaos ball to get over the line, so the goal/behind percentage might even out over time. Anyone know where those stats can be found?

    Ideally we should never kick a behind...

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
