Now for the second most important embarrassing record of them all... smashing those pretenders North Melbourne. I live for the day we beat them. They don't even deserve the name Melbourne in their title!

Haven't won 4 in a row since 2006. 

I'd love to see a breakdown of our back to back victory records. First three in a row last year. Then again this year against Dogs. 4 in a row first time in 11 years. What's the 5,6,7 etc...

Anyone know a stats page you can customise for that?

I know we won seven in a row at the back of 2000 up until the grand final, with the preceding loss the one-pointer vs. North.

Edit: Just had a look - would have been 11 straight otherwise. And worth noting we were 6-7 prior to that run. 98' was seven-in-a-row at the back end up to the prelim also (with some ridiculous average winning margin).

Edit #2: Thought I'd finish the job. Six in the middle of 2006 (which accounts for our last five as well). Can't imagine there's been an eight in my lifetime.

The take-home message - we're ahead of where we were at at the same stage in 1998 & 2000. My favourite seasons. Started our run a little earlier this year though - but not too early a la our fizzle-outs in the mid-naughties.

We're also +3 in the W-L record for the first time since 2006.

We won 6 in a row in 2006.

We won 7 in a row in 2000 (and 1998) if you include the two finals wins.

Otherwise, we last won 7 home and away games in a row in 1990 (ended up 8 in a row with the first final win).

When was the last time we won a game without nathan jones?

I've just looked through this.

Jones debuted in Round 17, 2006.

He's missed 6 games since then, including last night. We'd lost them all until last night.

That means until last night we hadn't won a game without Nathan Jones playing since before he debuted (which was Round 15, 2006 (we beat Richmond on a Friday night).

2002 was my favourite. Was out of footy for a while, fell in love again watching Neitz win the Coleman.

Probably more of a stat than a record that needed to be broken, but apparently the win vs WC is the first time we have won a game without Jones in the side since he made his debut (2006)

In fairness, we didn't win a game without Jim Stynes in the side from Round 18, 1987 – Round 5, 1998.

For the last decade or so we've been more bad than good, but, it seems to me, particularly in June. I'd like to see us go through June undefeated. The last time that happened was 2006. We still have to beat West Coast and (because of the 6 day break) Sydney on 30 June. 

Perhaps it's more a challenge than an "embarrassing record" per se, but to go through June 4-0 (plus the bye) would see that particular challenge knocked off the list.

One more to go.

Not surprising when you look at how few games he's missed in that time, and how awful a football team we were.

We haven't beaten North in an away game on a Saturday since 1991. That day Jako kicked 11.8. I doubt half of the people on this forum were born back then.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
