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!

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.

Had a look at the question last night and it looks like the last interstate Friday Night game we played was in 2011 vs WCE

We've barely had a Friday night game since then and all at the 'G

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.

Enough already. This is the only team we haven’t beaten since the introduction of the 18 team AFL.

Let’s do it Demons!!!!

I'd be satisfied with that scoreline.

In one more pre season.....

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.

I think it's time for this one to fall.
