An Interesting Statistic since 2008

Recommended Posts

In the Bailey era, the only Victorian team we have defeated is Richmond. 2008 we beat Brisbane, Fremantle and West Coast (all at the G); 2009 Richmond, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle (all at the G) and this year Adelaide, Richmond, Brisbane and Port (3 at the G and one in Darwin). Just thought that was interesting!

if this is the case in the next 3 years i will be worried but really not an issue for a rebuliding team IMO this year is about being competative for longer and game time into our young players so that they can grow together as a team

Yeah, we're still a fairly poor team. Improved on last year, which was an improvement on 2009, but we're still a bottom 5 team. I still stand by the opinion that we won't be playing finals footy until 2012. I don't think the club has intentions to be playing finals before then as well.

I think they would be hoping that a good draw and some luck might see us sneak in next year, but it's touch and go.

Here's something else. Brad Miller should never play against vic teams.

Think about all the good/ half good games his had and they all involve interstate teams. Port in Darwin, Brisbane in 08, Freo in 08, Freo in 06 semi, Sydney once. That's all i can think of which is sad considering his a 100+ gamer.

Shows how crap we still are.

no, it shows how much more improvement we need.

last year and this year:

melb vs roos lost by 34 this year 26

melb vs pies lost by 56 this year 1

melb vs port lost by 57 won by 1

melb vs tiges won by 8 won by 55

melb vs crows lost by 17 won by 16

melb vs cats lost by 43 this year 58

melb vs eagles lost by 8 this year 29

melb vs dogs lost by 8 this year 4

and so on

so if you still believe we're crap then god help us!!

i think we have had a bit of an improvement but we need to play for quarters and none of this 3rd quarter come backs

We're better this year than we were, but we're still not good enough to beat Victorian teams at the MCG. I would argue that we're still crap based on that.

Useless statistic really, the fact of the matter is that we have been down there since 2007, completley rebuilt our list into young kids that are still learning. Compared to all the other vic sides all bar Richmond are physically more stronger than us!! i belive we can play finals next year, but maybe another 2-3 years before we become a genuine threat!!!

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
