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 games, this is the first time we've gone through an entire H&A season without conceding 100 points since 1962.

Win the minor premiership

- Last time: 1964 (50 years and counting)

Win a final outside of Victoria

- Last win: Never (2 games, 2 losses)

Well we got the minor premiership, and ironically will probably have an opportunity to know off the interstate final too!

 

I think I read that we've play 87 finals at 9 venues, but only won at 4 of those venues. And of those 4 venues, the only one in current use is the MCG. So any finals wins this year will add to those numbers!

largest score kicked against (I think)

Our record of 36.22.238 v Fitzroy in 1979 (I was there :huh:) was eclipsed in 1992 by Geelong's 37.17.239 v Brisbane Bears. 

That day at VFL Park remains the highest losing margin of 190 points.  Second is 186.

l was so happy when port took off our record for grand final belting.

Cant really see someone kick 100 a year in today’s standards. It’s more a team effort that wins games 


I suspect our average losing margin may well be the lowest we've ever recorded in a H&A season. It was 11.875 points per loss. Or, with a tweak of the language, our average margin in games we didn't win (ie, including the draw) was 9.4 points. 

Compare that with Essendon in 2000 where their (ahem) average losing margin was 11 points.

Can't believe in it's entire history Saturday night was the first time a Melb player has kicked a goal after the siren.

Not one of ours, but I have just been advised that the last time Essendon won a final without Sheedy as coach was in the Preliminary Final of 1968 when Jack Clarke was coach.

Just makes me feel better writing that down.

In 2013 anything under a ten goal loss I took as a moral victory. We have come a long way.

Some fine pedantry there 😍

Does anyone know how many other occasions we have had after the siren?

  • 2 weeks later...

Well this week we know we can break the 21 year drought of winning a prelim final/making a Grand Final.

We can also beat a side for the third time in one season, which will be the first time we've done that I believe since we beat Carlton three times in 1988.

Yeah, Robbie kicked one at VFL Park about R 14 1987 v StK on cold wet Waverley day. Last time I saw him play. 
Flew OS on the Monday. 
Dees won next 9 straight - until another after siren kick - on TV in UK that night. Before Sky and internet of things

What other records are in dire need of being broken?

We can actually cross off the last two on this now!

Severe lack of vision from the OP not to include "Win a Prelim" or (shock horror) "Win a Premiership" in their list of embarrassing records.

Praha I hope you are adequately shamed in the next couple of weeks as we go on to do both.


Win an interstate Prelim by 80 points 

and

Beat Geelong 3 times in a season

And beat Geelong by the greatest margin in the club's history and in a prelim to boot...

Maybe we can keep this going until we've marked them all off. Maybe then we can feel like the team is moving forward!

Yeah I think they're moving forward now.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
