Melbourne reigns supreme

I suppose this will probably end up in "Other Sports" but, at this time of the year, its worthwhile reflecting on how other teams bearing the name Melbourne are burning it up in their respective competitions.

The Melbourne Renegades are undefeated and on top of the BBL table followed by

The Melbourne Stars who have lost only one game and that was against the Melbourne Renegades.

And if you think the BBL is Micky Mouse stuff then let's look at how the Melbourne Demons are travelling in the Premier District cricket competition. After comfortably disposing of Fitzroy-Doncaster yesterday, the Demons are way out on top:

Melbourne 62 1.832

Prahran 49 1.407

Ringwood 47 1.404

Carlton 43 1.076

Richmond 41 1.789

Dandenong 41 1.458

St Kilda 40 1.283

Melb Uni 37 1.116

Fitz Donc 32 1.105

Geelong 32 0.835

Frank Pen 28 0.808

Camb Magpies27 0.933

Foot-Edgewate27 0.903

North Melb 26 0.726

Casey-SM 21 0.675

Haw-Mon Uni 8 0.733

Essendon 8 0.617

Northcote 5 0.508

In other sports, Melbourne is on top of the Lawn Bowls competition ladder.

With all that going for it, surely its only a matter of time before the Melbourne Football Club follows suit and claims its rightful spot on top of the table.

* I discount the Melbourne Tigers in the basketball for their obvious connections with striped animals.

    The A League game last night was a cracker.

    Would have been hot work running for 90+ minutes.

    Great to see the Heart lose in extra time. They shoul relocate to Geelong.

    You may be correct OD. But, at this time of year, we are all philosophers, especialy when viewing the world through the "truth machine" ie the bottom of a wine glass.

    You're a bitter and twisted individual OD if you have issues with some light hearted discussion on Melbourne clubs.

    I can see that you would have problems with a title like "Melbourne reigns supreme" so why don't you just slink back to wishing the club ill on the Bailey thread?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
