    why did you ignore my additions

    nobody kicking a bag of 6 for 157 games straight is as big as any of them

    Really? I don't think it matters. We've had a few 5-goal bags.

    Not on the list but the win on Sunday was our second in the last eleven matches versus the Bulldogs going back to March 2008.

    I like that I feel all of these records can fall within 18 months with Roos in Charge.

    And who can forget that second 90+ point belting in a row! The beginning of the end.

    I'd like to add a record that I'd like to see broken.

    Last time our leading goal kicker had 50+ goals was Brad Green in 2010. Since then we've had:

    2011: Jurrah (40)

    2012: Clark (29) (after 11 games)

    2013: Howe (28)

    2014: Dawes (20)

    A slow decline, but obviously it is being turned around with Garlett and Hogan.

    If Jesse plays every game at 2.6 per game he will hit that 50, which would be a magic feat for a first year player in a below average side

    He'll need us to slaughter a couple of sides so he can get a couple of bags

    Refreshed "Beat Collingwood" stat.

    If we can't knock out "Win at Etihad" and "Beat St. Kilda" this weekend, I might just give up on this club.

    We will break some of them in 2017 when we have a Coach

    Not even I can agree with that one budge.

    The problem is not the coach.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
