Thanks guys, hungry for new content. Don't know what I'll do until March next year. Just have to comfort myself with watching the premiership replay. Might watch the whole season again

Funny you should say that. As i say in the podcast that is exactly what i plan to do.

One game a week, starting this weekend with the preseason practice match against the dogs

I might just review Mark Maclure’s assessment of it, and the Dees utter lack of hope and potential 😎.

Fantastic work as usual folks.  Caped off a brilliant season of podcasting!


Thank god I can listen to people who care about this club and provide an awesome service. Great job lads.

Awesome Podcast,   Very informative, and right on the money.

Will miss my weekly  listen to it.

Thanks

 

 

I should say at the outset that I haven’t been able to listen to the whole podcast yet, apologies if this has been covered.

Reflecting on just how good this whole season has been, particularly the finals campaign I did some figures on our percentages.

End of home and away season 130.8

Finals campaign 213.1

Full season including finals 135.2

While the end of h&a percentage 130.8 and the full season incl. finals 135.2 are probably not records in historical terms either within the club or across VFL/AFL. I do wonder how the 213.1 percentage for the 2021 finals campaign stacks up either way.

Comments please

Our percentage in the 87 finals would have been up there but definately not the same ending

I think I read somewhere that our finals percentage was second behind Geelong 07

Didn't cover it specifically. But we did discuss our scores against is the lowest of any premier in over 50 years (since the the introduction of the out of bounds on the full, a change that lead to immediate significant jump in scoring)

And discussed how insane it was that in the home and away season teams only averaged a touch over 27 points against us in second halves. And the fact it was even lower in the finals. 

Thanks Bin, I did get to hear that bit.

I confess I wasn’t expecting the outrageously successful finals campaign that we had and looked at the 57 moments clip that someone put up and thought this has been an incredibly successful whole season, do I appreciate it as much as I should.

I want to put it into perspective and legitimise it with more with stats if I can and make sure it stays relevant for good solid reason.

I have looked at Wikipedia AFL and can’t find what I am looking for encapsulated in a snapshot. The stats are there it is a matter of assembling them to paint the picture, sorry to say a job for someone with more digital nouse than I possess.

Thanks for a great listen again this season.
I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Enjoy your break and I look forward to tuning in again in 2022 👏🏻👏🏻

Another interesting stats in regards to the finals and our opponents.

Our winning margins against Brisbane (33), Geelong (83) & Western Bulldogs (74) were their biggest losing margins for the 2021 season.

We didn't get to play Port in the Finals but their loss to the Bulldogs in the Preliminary final (71 points) was their biggest loss of the season. Therefore by aggregate of their loss to the Bulldogs and our margin against the Bulldogs means we beat them by 145 points because Math ...

Thank you so much. Excellent work, as always.  I’ll miss these podcasts over the off-season and look forward to their return next year.

Thanks doggas, just what I was looking for, second on the list of last twenty years, that is some validation of just how good this team’s final series has been this 2021 season. Any chance those stats go back further?

Nice to see our ‘87 campaign came in 5th spot, that was a seriously good “Swooper” team built on the back of the RDB and Slug rejuvenation of mfc.

The more I delve into this it underlines what a brilliant season and particularly finals series this has been for mfc.

I am now beginning to see it in its rightful place in history. I hope the word spreads.


Thanks for that doggas, now that I have had time to have a good look at the table you provided, I see it’s a list of the best twenty finals series percentages. Going back more than a century and coming in second on that table certainly puts this seasons finals campaign in true light. A great effort by the whole club for the whole season and one that I hope is not lost or seen in a lesser light in the mist of this COVID ravaged time in history.

Looking closer at the table I notice that Swooper’s 87 team is the only one in the list that was not premiers, Carlton were that year.

Doggas, do you know if the table is “finals series best percentages”, or “premiers, final series best percentages” and there has been a slip up not crediting Carlton in 1987?

If Geelong hadn't handed Port that ridiculous 118 point hiding in 07, and say won by 80 points, we would be number one all times Finals performer!

 

Great wrap-up gents. How good is podcasting and listening during a premiership year?!!!

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
