Interested to know at what stage of the season did everyone "know" that we were the real deal, and were a serious shot at a flag.

Would have to go back through my own history, but I reckon I had us as premiership favorites maybe 6 rounds prior to end of regular season.

As a 40+ year negative nancy, that was a bloody good feeling.

In MFCSS world, then, you were both impressively 'out there'!

That was a "Holy Sheet" moment for me, but not a "we are gunna win a flag" moment, because I though the Tiggers were done at that point.

You were more brave than I.

they certainly weren't done at that point....maybe later in the season.....and they threw everything at us

but it was the way we played....the pressure.....the decision making......the structure.....the skills given the conditions

i started to dream ... of great things

So did I.

But that was not the moment when I thought we were the real deal.


Had it sewn up after the Port game. Proved we could take all challengers when we were inspired to.

Yep that started it for me and then when we dismantled the Dogs and ran over the Lions in successive weeks I thought we were clearly the best team in the comp it was just a matter of us not falling in a heap as we had been want to do through our history.

It felt like a changing of the guard though. Actually I'm rewatching the 2nd half of this match now (I watched the 1st half the other night). Such joy especially because the Tigers looked on top early, their supporters were actually stunned into silence at what they were witnessing. It was beautiful.

It’s also 61 years since we won back to back flags. Frankly, it’s been a long time and I’m sick and tired of waiting.

We've been waiting 65 years for a three-peat! It was only 16 years between our last two.

I thought we were the real deal after we beat Brisbane in the middle of the season. Mind you, doubts crept in after GWS, Collingwood, Hawthorn etc…


I wouldn't mind a re-boot of this whole topic to remind us what embarrassing records we still hold. We've got rid of the most embarrassing - the 57 years since the last Premiership - but what else is there? Two immediately come to my mind, neither of which I can see changing in the foreseeable future:

  • largest losing margin in V/AFL history (was it 190 points against Fitzroy...is that right?)
  • having no-one kick 100 goals in a season

What else is left?  

Just a few obvious ones that come to mind:

1) Haven't beaten Adelaide in Adelaide on a Saturday since 2017. Nor a Sunday since 1996.

2) Haven't beaten Brisbane on a Friday night in QLD since the Bears inception in 1987.

3) Haven't beaten Carlton in a home MCG game on a Saturday since 1997.

4) Haven't beaten Collingwood on an MCG Q'Bday game since 2017

5) Haven't beat Essendon in a home game since 2010

6) Haven't beaten Freo in WA since 2004

7) Haven't beaten GWS at the MCG since 2018

8) Haven't beaten Gold Coast on a Sunday game since 2018

9) Haven't beaten Geelong in Geelong on a Saturday in a non COVID affected year since 2005

10) Have never beaten Hawthorn in a Saturday or Sunday twilight game.

11) Have never beaten North at Marvel

12) Haven't beaten Port in consecutive attempts  in Adelaide.

13) Haven't beaten Richmond in an away game since 2015

14) Haven't beaten St Kilda at the MCG since 2017. Have never beaten them at the MCG in the 1:10pm slot.

15) Haven't beaten Sydney on a Sunday at the MCG since 2001

16) Haven't beaten West Coast on a traditional Fri/Sat/Sun game in Perth since 2017

17) Have never beaten the Dogs on a Friday night at the MCG.

Haven't beaten the Dogs in a Grand Final on the MCG, either.

I don’t think we wanted to, but we were in the habit of falling in a heap. It was certainly our wont. 

We haven’t won the first game after a premiership for 57 years.. 

Edited by John Crow Batty


This isn’t a record that needs breaking but something I’d love to see us set is largest winning margins on QB vs Pies. 

Also what’s the record for largest losing margin for the Cats at KP, would love for us to take hold of that one.

Correct you are . Our 2021 game was originally scheduled on a Saturday, but changed to a Sunday at the very last minute.

I've adjusted our embarrassing record to:

Have never beaten Gold Coast on a Saturday night which is the timeslot we have them in this year.

  • 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.
