not beating St Kilda since 2006 is the most embarrassing.

would love to own Hawthorn sometime in my lifetime. they've owned us it seems forever since the 80s.

 

Maybe we can keep this going until we've marked them all off. Maybe then we can feel like the team is moving forward!

Marked one off last year when we beat the Crows over there.


We need to knock off at least five. One or two per season will still keep us in limbo land.

Beat St Kilda at Etihad a week after beating the Pies on QB and that is four of the above...

Some are more meaningful than others though.

Beating Geelong down at Mordor would be huge, and of course beating Hawthorn, but Geelong are on a precipice - I would love to push them over...

 

Ludicrous was exactly the word that came to my mind p-man! Not winning two in a row for 3 whole seasons is [censored] disgusting!

I hate this thread. Nice formatting though I have to say.

I actually hated writing it.

I'm not joking.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I agree... mods, can this post please be nailed to the top of this forum?

I've recently adopted a strategy of starring into emptiness. I've cried too much and laughing makes you appear psychotic I've found.

Added a few more.

Can you also add the win over in SA last year, was big and be nice to feel we've knocked over more than just one record since Roo's arrival..?

2011 - the last time someone named Nathan Jones hasn't won the best and fairest and carried the club on his shoulders.

In the current game a 100 goal plus goal kicker is a bit unrealistic. Last happened in 2008 for any club. Though Hogan is as good a bet as anyone to get there someday.

Added Adelaide.


If I'm not mistaken, the last time we beat Hawthorn it put us on top of the ladder. I think that was also the last time we were on top...

Yep. Then we lost the next 5 games and were eliminated from the finals in week 1.

Such a Melbourne thing to do.

Will win 2 games in row this year=tick.

Will win a game at the dome=tick

Maybe take catters to the line=?

 

Why in seven levels of hell do i support this disgraceful piece of doody of a club?????

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
