For starters my research may be a little off - but you can go check/correct for yourself.

I cannot help it, I hate this team more than any other.

I am Melbourne and I am Melbourne through and through, perhaps this is why I hate them so much. But if they did not exist, our team would have won a lot less.

Not only have Melbourne won 6 Premiership out of 7 Grand Finals against that filthy team, but we have also recored the following:

In our history, we have played Collingwood in 20 finals. We have won 16 of them. One of Collingwood's wins was in 1897 in the Round Robin - not really a final.

Since 1937, Melbourne have won 14 of the 15 finals the two clubs have faced off in - including 5 grand finals.

At one stage, the Dees has won 9 straight finals and at present we have won the last 5.

Suck it filth.

It was for four in a row, not six. We won 9 straight finals against them including 4 premierships. It doesn't hurt that much. Maybe rpfc is right it should come up later, maybe he was more correct when he said Melbourne fans were self loathing.

It was for 4 in a row - but had we won that one and because we won the next 2 - we could have had 6 in a row.

So are you enferring that '59-60 don't count. If we had beaten Collingwood we would have ended our run of GF wins at 6. And no Team would ever touch that.

don't you understand, 58 would have been 4 straight, 59 & 60 would have made it 6 straight. 58 they changed Barassi's jumper no, that was a HUGE stuff up!

Exactly i was inferring to 45's earlier post. he stated it was 4 & not 6.

If my Auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

Losing '58 cost us winning 4 in a row - you really cannot argue that. Who knows what would have happened later. Maybe losing that one spurred us to win the next two.

Losing '58 cost us four on the trot, fairly simple. And why are we delving on the negative here? That's a bloody good finals record.

I'm pretty happy with 5 flags from 6 GFs.

In a effing row!!!

And 45HG16, yes, we are a funny lot.

I don't know if it is to our detriment, but we tend to easily think a bruise is a gangrenous growth that requires amputation.

That wasn't a subtle metaphor. Apologies.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
