Was it 2006?

If so, that is mind boggling.

Can someone look that up, I dont know where to look.

    That is a long time ago in football terms.

    This is a good start:

    win loss sequence

    There's a sequence here too. The interval between recent wins is decreasing, viz. 6 games, 6, 5, 5.

    So the next win is against Hawthorn in Round 9.

    I always use AFL Tables and I think it is easily the best and easiest to search

    That AFL Tables is fantastic!! I just spent time being a kid again. (amazing how many games you remember by looking at scores) Ahh the '70's six games on a saturday with a tranny & a biro. "Peanuts"

    bit early to think about consecutive wins. one win sequences are pretty good at the moment.

    Disagree.

    We can beat Adelaide this weekend.

    I want the playing group to win 2 on the trot.

    Not to mention Pelaco Inquest, the Sporting Globe and World of Sport (but of course that would have been the 60s).

    Too right! Would be a real blast for this club to win 2 on the trot. Set up a big crowd for the Geelong Game. Sign up members. Sell scarves etc etc.

    I don't expect to beat the cats but i expect a better effort than last years disaster!

    What would be interesting is to compare teams when they bottom out. If we can get two on the trot and clear up that record that would be nice, but I have a suspicion Carlton went a few years without putting two together.

    Tell me about it. I was lucky to get my hands on the Globe. We used to get The Truth too, only for the from of course.

    The ABC panel at 8pm was also good and why did they get rid of the Tony Charlton Channel 9 footy show at noon on sunday, the one that got the

    Norm Smith sacking exclusive.

    Good point. I might look into it.

    By the way, another stats site people might like is http://afl.allthestats.com

    Carlton went 6 seasons with only 4 back to back wins counting 3 in a row as 2 instances.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
