Interesting. I don't know what the average crowds were back then, but I wonder whether the Spanish Flu pandemic which was about in 1919 had anything to do with the low number?

    I don't think this counts but anyway:

    We've never won an interstate Round 1 game.

    We're 0-3 (Sydney at the SCG in 1982, West Coast at Subiaco in 1991, Fremantle at Subiaco in 1998).

    The Age today has a graph showing the impact of the Spanish flu pandemic in 1919. Round 18 in 1919 would presumably have been held some time around July or August that year. It could very much explain why people weren't attending football matches.

    First time we've beaten a Brett Ratten coached team since round 22 2007.

    Doggies win in R3 knocks us out of #1 on the ‘biggest winning margin in the history of the FFC’ list.

    I’m taking it.

    A dodgy bump perhaps, but a win tomorrow would be the first time we've started a season 3-0 since 2005, a 16-year drought.

    Damn I hate these records. Heres hoping.

    The last time we had a coach with a positive win-loss balance was Neale Daniher in 2006 (dropped to 48.5% in 2007).

    Goodwin currently on 43/43 home and away win/loss and 2/1 in finals.

    51%, baby! Fifty-one per cent! Wooooo!

    I admit that's better than I had expected it woud be. If I'd been asked to guess, I would have thought it would have been something like 36/50. I must be reading too much Demonland where the losses get magnified!

    As has been mentioned, we've finished a round on top of the ladder for the first time since Round 18, 2004.

    Next up, Sydney at the G: we haven't beaten them there since 2010. We drew in 2011 and have lost 7 straight since then.

    Grim.

    Fingers crossed we are prepared for the keepings off they will try to use to pick apart our zone.

    Further to that, since the year 2000 we have a 3--9--1 record against Sydney the MCG.

    It’s time we started to claw back these one sided records, we owe the Roo’s, Swans & Saints lots of pain since early 2000’s. Don’t go to sleep Boys, bring it on. !!!!

    I have gone back through AFL.com records and I am pretty sure this is our all-time best start to a season ( as at this round) if we consider winning margins. What that means later in the season, who knows. May come down to injuries and our ability to stand up in SA and WA.

    And a further rider, Bush, is that we have beaten current 5th and 6th but have yet to encounter 2nd, 3rd and 4th (and 7th and 8th). I don't know (but am tempted to obsessively research!?) who we had beaten in our next-best season start...

    I see we went 13-0 in fact. My (narrow) argument is we had three very close wins up to round 7 (in 1956), including an eight point win, but this year no one has got closer than about 24 points. 1956 is a very good portent and a key year in demon history! On your other point I think it is The Eagles and Port we have to worry about most to measure our true worth. In any event it is a magnificent season and we still have an enviable list despite injuries.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
