Really the only embarrassing record that matters is 57+ years without a flag.  
And 61 years since back to back, and 66 years since a “threepeat”

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.

One week at a time

Lance Franklin has never lost to Melbourne in his career. 

 

 

EDIT -  That hoodoo ended in 2019 at the SCG.  My mistake.

We need him to come in this week and beat them.

Except for the last time he played against us.

Thanks, I forgot we had busted that one.  Of all the years we finally beat the Swans and Buddy it was in 2019 where we were a bottom 4 team.   ?

Beat Sydney on the MCG.

Almost 11 years. Last win was in August 2010 when we beat them by 70 points.

I think it was 8 losses and 1 draw dating back to 2011.

The Saints have had their chances in the last 20 years. You can lead a club to water but you can't make it drink.

We've been parched for a very long time.

Very sporting of you, Sunkn. Yes, the Saints possibly do deserve a lick of the ice-cream as well. 1966 wasn't it? Their last double-scooper with a cherry on top.

OK, here are a couple to keep us interested:

  1. Win more than 14 games in a H&A season - last time was 1990 (31 year drought).
  2. Win 17 or more games in a H&A season - we have never done this in our 121 previous completed seasons.

(If you're wondering about the 17+ game stat, Hawthorn have done it five times in the last 10 years).

We won 16 games in 1956 which equated to an 89% winning record in that 18 game home and way season. A 20 win season would be our record best in terms of winning percentage.

Onto our next opponent, we have a surprisingly poor 1-4 record against Essendon at the G since 2013. 

The last time we won finals in consecutive years was in 1991 against Essendon at Waverley. Aside from GC Suns, we have the longest streak in that department. Hopefully that can be rectified next year.

Agree RPFC but who knows after the records already held by this club?

I’m not great with maths etc. Is this mathematically possible?

Sure it is we lose every game? We are then 11 :11  Isn't 12 the magic number

I could probably think of one club that would be capable of pulling off that disaster.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
