    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
