You overlooked Fred Fanning's 18 goals v St Kilda in 1947. Other facts very interesting though. None from the golden 50's and 60's.

Good work. I think we could break one of those best qrt records in the not to distant future but greatest winning margins and most goals (18, Fred fanning) can't see happening anytime soon

In a couple of years, Jurrah has the potential to kick 18. Probably has it now but not quite enough support around him. Whenever it is, he needs to play 4 quarters of footy like he played in one quarter last week.

And Don Cordner reckons Fanning told him he was going to kick 18 as the ran onto the ground that day.

Apologies. They are the records held at the MCG venue. :wacko:

I'll have to find the all-time ones now.

Didn't we kick 9.8.62 in the first quarter against Footscray I believe in a game at the MCG sometime back in the the early 70's?

A nice even spread of goals - http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Round+6+2004 - 6-6-7-6

Still bitter I was at work that day, meaning the last 100pt win I was at was the 121pt win over Richmond in R21, 1993 when Andy Lovell + Jakovich kicked eight each and a bird shat on me at 3/4 time.

I have the VHS Super...i must try and burn it so it is not ever "lost"

They are my most loathed organization.


Kinky.

Erm yes, that did have a touch of Don Lane about it. Of the animal variety I can assure you.

Poor 12yo me stuck out my hand to point at something and WHACK. I almost ralphed.

This wouldn't happen inside the MCC Reserve, the dress code has slipped over the years i concede but never to that level!! :lol:

HaHaHa "A touch of the Don Lane's" :lol:

It's said to be good luck. Honestly, I think if you got shat on by a seagull in amongst 40,000-odd other people, I'd strongly consider that as being bad luck.

And yet the Hawks kicked 8.11 against us in the 3rd two rounds ago. :blink:

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
