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.

And if we win it will take us to 11 wins and our best win result since 2006.

Here's one: If we win one of the last 3 games for the year, we will finish the season having not lost 3 consecutive games at any point. We haven't done that since 1998, believe it or not.

1974 for me. Ah those were the days, when I could string two woods together. I'm starting to loose it now. And it was my favourite subject !!!

That is truly amazing. Can't think of any other team having such a bizarre statistic. For another Melbourne-based team, it fits firmly in the "embarrassing record" basket.

Here's another zinger:

Melbourne have beaten North Melbourne as the away side twice since 1991. 1997 and 2006.

EDIT - We also beat them in 2005 up in Manuka as the away side.

And 1997 I believe was Round 1, North were hot favourites, we came out raring to go and beat them.

The following week we lost to Collingwood by 100 points.

According to the Goodwin mantra this group is creating its own history.  On that basis though we've lost to North once so we have history for the first time and need to rectify it by winning this week.  I think that first encounter will sting the team, it's a pity Bernard is not playing, he has some skin in it with Cunnington.

The last time we beat North Melbourne in Round 20 2006 we were the away team.

It's time to finally beat North.

Understatement of the century.

Much like time to win a flag, and Jetta is a good player.

Indeed we were the away side in 06.

However my post was that we haven't beaten North as the away team on a Saturday since 1991.

yeah I know, I'm being a bit silly with these random useless facts.

We are smashing records at the moment. I want to have to change my identity at the end of the footy season. Every 4 number pin I have is 1964. Every password revolves around that. I'd love to change it all to 2017.

Another embarrassing record - been trying without success to win in Hobart since 14 June 1952 (Fitzroy took us down that day).

Just on that... I  try and link up who posts on here and then  the Demonland Facebook page - looking for syntax similarities etc etc...but you're right - a straw poll would perhaps  over 50% with 1964

Whilst every win is important, and to end such significant hoodoo's or get the monkey off the back so to speak.....this game to me has more importance than any of the other previous lost games streak v North. Given where we were as a club, and where we are at this point - a candidate for top 4.

Win this:- 

• and top 4 is still a very good chance

• closer to cementing finals for 2017, first time since 2006.

• could well be the final nail

in Brad Scott's coffin as Norf coach.

• could help Norf achieve wooden spoon.

Obviously Norwood (redleg connection), and the other wood one might get when we play well.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
