Come on stats guys. When was the last time the Demons went Back to Back for a win?

I imagine it has been a long time between consecutive weeks of celebratory drinks.

    Not sure about 2 in a row, possibly 2011 last time we done that.

    2010 would have been the last 3 in a row was in 2010 IIRC, we got pumped by Hawks in Round 1 and I was thinking FMD here we go again and we came out the following week and went down to the Pies by a point in the game where Petterd unluckily dropped a mark in the goal square just before the final siren.

    From there we won 3 in a row, not sure who all the opponents were but I do know we beat the Tigers in 1 game and also towelled up Brissy on a Saturday night when Warnock injured Fev and Brissy were previously unbeaten. If my memory is correct after winning 3 in a row we were looking good and dropped a few winnable games from there including a loss at the G to Meth Coast who ended up winning the spoon that season

    When was the last time we have won 3 games within a month?

    The last time we won two in a row was in 2011 in Round 13 and 14 where we defeated Freo by 89 points and Richmond by 27 (respectively)

    The last time we won three in a row was in 2010 in Round 3, 4 and 5 where we defeated Adelaide by 16 points, Richmond by 55 and Brisbane by 50 (respectively)

    Unfortunately we lost to Collingwood earlier in Round 2 by only a point. Interestingly the previous time we had won three games in a row was in 2006 and these consecutive wins were all under Dean Bailey

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
