When a team gets better hoodoos tend to get broken. The cats had the wood over the hawks then the trend reversed and once again the cats prevailed. The MFC have two straight wins against GWS and Collingwood.

 

Another streak: we haven't had a winning record at the end of any round (other than Round 1) since Round 6 2011 (we were 3-1-2 after beating Adelaide by 96 points).

And the club record for contested possessions broken while we're at it. 

Oh wow, really. That's pretty neat.

 

When was the last 3 win streak...2006 ? Although don't expect a win next week. "Home" game at etihad makes me sick, if it was at the G different story!

Don't get me started on this [censored] home game at Etihad against a team that plays all their home games at Etihad, thus having a complete advantage.

Awesome work by the AFL yet again.

At least we beat the Pies playing "away" at the "G"! The AFL should be thanked for giving us a home ground advantage against the in-form Saints (an opponent to be feared/respected in comparison to the rabble of the last two weeks)!

p.s. This time next week I am looking forward to beating our three-match hoodoo and achieving a record membership for our efforts.

Done!

How does three in a row grab you?

Next is the St Kilda hoodoo - no wins since the 2006 Elimination Final.

After that, let's beat a top four team.

Or are we taking things one hoodoo at a time?

Yes one at a time WJ.

Well...nope.

We did have a player kick 7 goals though, no idea when the last time was that happened. So does that count?

It would have been massive if he had kicked nine (instead of one behind and one out on the full from set shots)!

when was the last 3 out of 4 wins?

In 2011, same period where we had the most recent consecutive wins before this year (beat Freo Round 13, Richmond Round 14, lost to the Dogs Round 15, then beat Port round 17 after a bye).

We've scored 100 points in four of our last five games. First time since Rounds 10-13, 2006.

Great stat. We just missed out on the ton by less than a goal against St Kilda last week as well. 


Said during the commentary that it was our first time past 150 points since round 6, 2004

Actually vs GC at the Gabba in 2011. Believed it was 159-69 but it was just GC's 2nd AFL game so maybe that has a bit of an * against it.

A couple more streaks to add to the list:

Beat Port Adelaide - last win Round 17, 2011 (7 game losing streak)

Win in the NT - last win Round 17, 2011 (7 game losing streak).

Beat the same team twice in one season (2010 apparently)

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
