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”

Here's one: If we win one of the last 3 games for the year, we will finish the season having not lost 3 consecutive games at any point. We haven't done that since 1998, believe it or not.

1443 points against is also, by a very long way, the fewest points we've conceded in a 22-game season. The previous best was 2018, which was 1749. Also, not including last year's shortened g

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

'Twas an Olympian effort either way!?

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
