The Melbourne Football Club has never scored 200 points in a game in its history.  Our highest score is just 182, achieved twice.  We were 23 shy of equaling that yesterday.    I am pretty sure every club from the VFL has scored 200+ in a game,  including Sydney and the Brisbane Bears.  Fitzroy have done it too I think.

This current crop of talent we have coming through might get us our first ever 200 point game.  The firepower is there.

It will be a magical day when we can tick that one off.

 

Tomorrow.

Buckle up.

    Another record I'd like to see broken, is that we haven't had a single player kick more than 50 or more goals in a season since Brad Green in 2010 - the equal longest in the comp with Brissy. Even Carlton (Andrew Walker 2011) and Freo (Pav 2012) has managed it. If we take it up to 60 goals then we go back to Neita in 2006. 

    Hoges is on track at the moment and we've got a few others who might even get close.

    4. The teams have played three times at Adelaide Oval with two wins to the Power. Not in Melbourne's favour is they've never won an interstate Friday night match, with eight losses from eight games since 1991.

    Another one to hopefully break on Friday!!

    Wow, pretty desperate for them to trawl back to 1991, 27 years ago, unsure how it's not in our favour!

    8 games on a Friday night since 1991?

    When was the last time we played an interstate game on a Friday night?

    The most recent one I can think of was against Sydney in 2003 on Anzac Day when we blew a 20 point three qtr time lead and then conceded 10 last qtr goals.

    That's a useless stat IMO.

    We beat Port on a Saturday night over there in 2016. I guess if that game was on a Friday night we would've lost.

    If you're referring to that amazing 3 point win over Adelaide in Roosy's first year, that was a Saturday twilight.

    The final against Fremantle in 2006 was played on a Friday night.

    Other than that, you're right, we haven't played an interstate Friday night game since that 2003 game.

    Yeah thanks for that. Good memory or research by you.

    Was only focusing on Friday night home and away games and that final slipped my mind.

    Correct. Two 8 goal quarters in that game. Q1 8.2 and Q3 8.4

    July 25, 2010

    @MCG in front of a crowd of 29,374

    Melb 22.10.142

    Syd 10.9.69

    B Green 5 goals, Sylvia BOG with 28 disposals.

     

    Followed it up with a draw in R1, 2011 then 6 straight losses by 101 points, 31, 31, 38, 55 and last year a 35 point loss.

    I'd be satisfied with that scoreline.

    It's time we replaced this thread with a positive one: "Records: Oldies but Goodies Being Superseded". I know that actually seems like a headline from when iTunes first came on the market but I love hearing about how this modern team is making its own positive statement. For example, yesterday's first quarter score was our highest Q1 since ??? (I can't remember. Was it 1972?); When was the last time, if ever, we beat opponents by more than 90 points three times in a single season? etc

    Feel free to start a new thread about records we break. I like the idea.

    This one however stays until all of our past demons are erased. Pun intended.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
