    Should we just merge this directly with the 'loading during the season' thread?

    I guess one of the troubles of being a tight defensive unit is that even when we are dominating the game, the scores don't blow out in our favour and opponents can realistically hope to get a run of goals going and level things up in just a ten minute burst.

    Other theory I'd throw out would be that the whole-ground defence requires a lot of people to all sustain their energy all the time. Just a few holes are all it takes.

    Being able to hit hard in our own burst is crucial. It is why having both Fritsch and Pickett finding some bags of goals lately has got me optimistic about the finals.

    Let’s just hope we are not leading at 3/4Q time in finals!

    I'd happily take a 100pt lead at 3/4 time in each of our remaining games.

    Certainly not the most desired stat but it's a new ball game now.

    Don't forget Collingwood in 77.

    My heart could not handle a draw in a Grand Final.

    Does the Grand Final Guarantee work for the second week.

    There wouldn't be a second week.  All drawn finals go to extra time now, including the GF.

    For my interest D'stone - when was GF extra time rule introduced?

    Only Carlton (1987) and Essendon (2000) made good on that stat.

    You won't ever see a more dominant club than Essendon of 2000 while Carlton's last last 8 or so home and away games and finals in 1987 were seriously impressive.  

    So I'm guessing it was the Geelong and Freo games we were down at 3tr time.

    2016 I believe.

    I was there at the draw in 1977 with my Collingwood supporting dad and two North supporting brothers.  It was the weirdest feeling and nobody knew what to do or how to feel.

    Despite my long held opposition to the idea,  I now support the idea of extra time.

    Had the rule been in place in 2010, a fast finishing St Kilda may well have denied Collingwood the flag.

    Now do the “but went on to lose” stat

    Not exactly that stat, but for the year so far we're rated 14th for 4th quarter percentage.

    We've lost 10 4th quarters this year.

    (We're 1st for 1st quarter percentage)

    4 times for us (Collingwood x 2, Sydney, Bulldogs).

    No idea what any other side’s record is but can’t imagine many had 4 or more.

    Yep. St kilda were unlucky against the Pies draw. Was that the year they changed it  after that game, D'sone?

    The extra time with sometimes the The golden point or goal.

    It is exciting but I think I prefer the old come back next week.

    I mean it's an extra week of AFL.

    How can you argue against that?

    It may seem strange having 2 gf parades but oh well.

    Surprised the afl accepted the new model....given how much more $ they could have made.

    Maybe it interfered with the horse racing season or something or maybe that's how all major sporting final finals are and thus the Afl just followed suite.

    Let's just hope we win by the the same margin or more again.

    The two games we weren't leading in were Freo and Geelong.

    Meaning we were leading against Sydney (19 point turnaround), Collingwood (28 point turnaround), Bulldogs (23 point turnaround), and Collingwood (14 point turnaround) at 3qtr time.

    Not THAT damning. You can't win them all. Good news being we are in it to win in essentially every game we play.

    This is exactly what I was trying to work out. Thanks praha. The data shows me we're an excellent chance of being in front at 3QT and a very good chance of going on with it from there. Obviously the teams that did get a run on were better teams, but it's something the coaches can break down and implement some fixes/build belief.

    I'll be happy to share that '3 times' record with a team coming from the EF winners or QF losers!

    😉

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
