    Added "Score 100 points". Before Round 1, we went 31 matches without scoring 100 points.

    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.

    Since 1980:

    59 games, 14 wins, 45 losses vs Hawthorn

    Jebbuz that includes a few Northey wins

    Apart from the 87 & 88 finals we did have quite a few Whorethorn victories under John

    14 in 35 years....I do hope this thread is being read in the club..

    All clubs must tick off MFC games with a red highlighter....

    2013, Watts kicked 4 goals and I think it was Neil Craigs 2nd game in charge

    Was that the one we were up by about 45 points and beat them by 3 or something?

    We were up for 50 and almost lost. 5 minutes into the last, my girlfriend asked if we were safe.

    "Yeah it's game over."

    Nek minnit...

    The four records I can possibly see being broken this season.

    1) Beating St.Kilda. We play them twice and while I doubt we'll beat them at Etihad, I would sincerely hope we could at least beat them at the G.

    2) winning 2 in a row. We have a friendly fortnight in rounds 16 and 17, when we play Brisbane and St Kilda at the G. Both appear winnable on paper.

    3) beating Collingwood. We play them twice, and given that the Pies are in re-build mode, we could beat them if we get them an off day.

    4) winning at Etihad. While I can't see us beating the dogs in rd 20 and GWS in rd 23, we do play St Kilda at Etihad in rd 11, which could be winnable, depending on if St Kilda fall away by then.

    Added Friday night, more so because we haven't played a Friday hight match for three years, and haven't won one for four.

    What's a loosing streak? Is that like when the dogs are let loose off the leash? Or perhaps when a person of loose morals does a streak across a football ground?

    This was around the time everyone was paranoid that he was going to request a trade to be with his mate at GW$, no?

    can't remember, I don't think he was all that popular even after this game

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
