I'm just wondering the last time we won a game when we were favourites. Is that another embarrassing record that needs to be broken?

Granted we wouldn't be favourites too often, but anyone know when was the last time?

Probably round 4 2013 when we beat GWS in that 12 goal last qtr.

The last time we won a game in the month of July was 2011 vs Port in Darwin.

The last time we won a game in the month of August was 2012 vs GWS at the Manuka.

By the time we end up breaking some of these droughts, will it be time to put some of them back up there as it will probably take 4-5 years to break some?

We can cross Brisbane off the list

Next week is a chance to break two, but one in particular for me. Winning two games in a row is one of the records I really want to fall this year. Even the Blues have managed to win two games in a row this year. Also a chance to knock off the saints.

The 2 in a row is a big one for me. So many times we have a win, and it seems to breed some sort of complacency. This is a winnable game, but St Kilda apply a huge amount of pressure, so hopefully we don't go to water. Playing at the G instead of Etihad is a big plus for us as well.

Yet again we have a chance to knock off two records against the Saints this week.

2 in a row. Beat the Saints. Pity we couldn't get over the line a month ago.

Must win this week.

Possibly no Riewoldt and at the G, and against a side who, until the last quarter against Richmond, had kicked just 10 goals in their last 7 quarters (3 of which vs GWS came in 2 minutes).

St Kilda have been getting a fair bit of positive media recently (a 110 point win does that I guess), but I maintain they are overrated and overhyped. That of course doesn't mean anything and we could easily lose the game convincingly, but we are more than capable of winning this one.

If we kick straight!

Possibly no Riewoldt

What happened to him last night?

As far as I know he played out the game and will be available for selection next week.

First time we've won a round 16 game since 2004 - v's Western Bulldogs at Etihad.

Melbourne got the chocolates, Casey seniors and their development side too. There cant be too many times of late where all three Melbourne aligned sides won on the same weekend.

while we are on the "two in a row" gig

how about dawes and howe to play two good games in a row?

Please put a line through Brisbane, praha. I need to see that line.

In some weird way, the "bad" win yesterday makes me more confident that we can win 2 in a row than ever before

We seem to get carried away with good wins and come out flat the following week. Maybe this week is the week!

someone amend the list Brissy is done now for the Saints and 2 in a row next week

Crossed off Brisbane.

Well done Praha, but I've got to ask...your post is all of three words. What exactly did you have to edit?

Not sure, how short is our memory, or how revised is our recent history, I guess.

I put St Kilda instead of Brisbane

He looked proppy all game and I reckon if it hadn't been Maddie's match he would've been 50/50. By the look of him at the end of the match he'll be 50/50 again, seven day break will help him though I reckon he'll be underdone.

Doubt he'll play.

Don't worry some VFL [censored] will come in for him and kick 7.0.

BACK TO BACK WINSSSSSSSS

Updated.

That's another one knocked off. Awesome work Dees.

Next week a ripping chance to knock another two off the list.

We play our best football against sides between 5th and 14th on the ladder. When we hit the top 4 sides we wilt, when we play bottom 4 sides we buckle under the pressure of expectation. North is right in the bracket of sides I like us playing against (ditto Bulldogs and GWS, when we get to play them).
