    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!

    😉

    • 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.
