    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.

    • 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.
