    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
