'Finey' on SEN the other night noted that Johannisen's win of the medal named after our greatest coach had added another aspect to our curse also named after him: we are - ironically - now the only team of the 'original' 12 not to have a Norm Smith Medallist since its1977 inception.

So, another 'record' to put on the (thankfully otherwise shortened in 2016) list?

And, by the way, when we do break it, I'm expecting it not to be of the Rioli/GazSnr/Buckley/Judd type!

Well apart from beating North Melbourne (god I want that one gone this year) we're into the business end of the records. With finals and things that have us at the northern part of the ladder.

I say we keep ticking them off until we get to the all important one.....

 

As an aside when was the last time we were in the 8 at the end of a round? Did it happen in 2010, it didn't happen at any time during Roosy's years as far as I know and it definitely didn't happen during Mark Neeld's tenure.

Last year and the year before.

Really I thought the highest we ever got under Roos was 9th, always just missing out on the 8.

Seems that in our excitement Praha forgot?

 

One we can break on Sunday - a win will mean we have two more wins than losses. That hasn't happened since the end of the 2006 season.

I believe we were in the 8 after Round 1, 2015 when we beat Gold Coast.

Other than that, not since Round 14 2011.

Happy to knock that one off, but would settle for winning the actual flag. From 8th would be fine!

In a similar vein, when did we last have a percentage as high as 133.33%?

PLEASE lets beat North this year. I am so sick of losing to them. 

MCG game. No excuses.

Last year we were 9th after beating the giants and never got higher. The year before we were in the 8 after beating the Suns but fell straight out.

Updated.

Can we also put on this 'winning premiership' 

if we are going to have a goal we might as well have the ultimate one 

@praha - please appease my pedantry and put a line through the entire heading like you have done with the others.

Wow , the whole list is almost ticked off.

It is actually happening, we are a real footy club again.

I've got one to add...

The last time we beat the wooden spooners... Not since Roos has been at the club. Saints 2014, Blues 2015, Essendon 2016

In the past 5 years every team knew they can beat Melbourne. Even the spooners - it was their one genuine chance for a win.

I suspect that will change this year.


The last time we beat Carlton on a Sunday was round 22 2007.
We're also 0-3 against them in the 3:20pm time-slot

I initially read that as "sponsors". Talking of which, I noticed in Alan Richardson's press conference that Hankook Tyres now sponsors St Kilda. Does that mean we missed out or does it mean that our rates have risen and Hankook can't afford us? If it's the latter, it would suggest that we are now a more marketable club than St Kilda.

Has been discussed in the 'still no BOJ sponsor thread'. Apparently we fell out badly when they were our sponsor last and they won't come near us

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
