Preview Changes V Essendon

[tazaa]

NMFC 2020-2026

Games 1-2: 7 wins & 7 losses
Games 3-8: 0 wins & 36 losses
Games 9-14: 7 wins & 27 losses (2 draws)
Games 15-19: 4 wins & 24 losses
Games 20-23: 3 wins & 15 losses

Of all the posts and opinions that have been shared - not just this week but this year and in previous seasons, that metric for games 3-8 is ****ed.

We are simply not a serious football club. That not even 2 weeks into the year, we are just not prepared enough to be able to chalk up 1 win in the months of April and May.

And it supports the theory that we come into our own when the grounds get softer and the game slows down somewhat and other teams get sore and then we steal a few wins in June and July before the season teeters off.


I don't think I will forget that stat any time soon. So ****ing deflating.

It’s actually unbelievable.

Even the biggest NMFC haters would never pick zero wins from 36 friggin attempts.. ZERO!!

I just checked the AFL app.

Its actually true. I am not even doubting Marstermind I just cannot believe this stat. There is nothing to debate.
We have not won a game of football in rounds 3 to 8 since 2019.

The more ****ed up thing is if we didn't beat Adelaide by 2 goals in round 4 2019, then this stat would stretch all the way back to 2018.

So its 1 win in 42.

Can someone please tell our players that the hot spot 20 metres out from goal isn’t the only place to kick inside 50.

Seems like every kick goes to a pack there - kick it to the pocket or flanks occasionally.

They can kick it to a pack if Trembath is in there. Thats fine. That works, he loves a pack grab. Would have been dominant in markers up at school
