    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: 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
