    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!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
