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.

I do not believe we will threaten any of those records this season.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

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

[The Chazz 4,077]

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.

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

[John Crow Batty 8,376]

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.

[Supermercado 2,682]

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!!

HaHaHa "A touch of the Don Lane's"

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.

Thanks.

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