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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
