We’ve only had 2 x 100 point victories this millennium. 
Both against Carlton. 

First in the naughties 

Second in the teens 

Get the twenties locked in. 

Telling stat. Really surprised.  And we have had some talented forwards in these years. With our fwd line depleted by injuries, form and experiments, it's remarkable the 100 plus ones this year. As much as I would love a ff kicking 4 a week, it's good we have such a spread of players hitting the board.

Have we ever played Port on a Friday night?

Yes, twice. 

Our first ever game against them was a Friday night. We lost at Football Park by 51. 

More recently we had a Friday night in 2018, in Adelaide. We lost by 10 despite leading at three quarter time. 

Fun facts

The last time carlton beat us; 

Rd 22 2016 at the G.

(we have won the last 7 against them)

 

Barack Obama was President.

Malcolm Turnbull was Prime Minister.

The UK were still in the European Union.

Richmond were still a joke!

The Footy Show was still on air!

We've lost our last 2 last quarters since this article was published. We need to break that embarrassing record.

We are the current league record-holders of the lowest percentage at the end of the season since 1966 (leaving aside the disintegrating shell of Fitzroy and the start of the GWS and GC franchises), with 54.1 in our reverse-stellar year of 2013.

I note that the Eagles currently are at 51.4 and will have the job in front of them to not take this particular unwanted crown from us.

On a positive note, we've never lost a King's Birthday game in the AFL era.

They’ll be in the 40s by years end the way they’re going.

We can but hope!😁

This is a record we have to wait for someone else to break, but we have the worst losing streak at any venue this century with 22 at Marvel stadium between 2008-2015. It's also the worst losing streak in the AFL era.

We'll be waiting a while for someone else to take the 21st century mantle, too. The contenders are Adelaide and Brisbane at Kardinia Park (13), Brisbane with 12 at the MCG, and St Kilda (11) also at Kardinia Park.

It wouldn't feel great if Brisbane were to get the mantle with losses at the G given a certain result that occurred during September last year

Forget our records. Now is the time for us to create them for other clubs

This seems a bit odd given they won their most recent game at the G prior to last week - obviously that was a final but why exclude it from the analysis?

I guess limiting the analysis to home and away results presents a better story line.

We are no longer the most recent team to have conceded 200+ points. Thanks WCE!

We’ve slipped down a spot. 

 

In two weeks West Coast play Brisbane at the Gabba. 186 could well fall 👌

The sub-record to this, which I suspect we'll never lose, is our #1 position, of the above top (bottom?) 7, in 'Degree Of Mercury' in the 'bookend' years: St Kilda bookended all its 3 years with spoons; Hawthorn almost did, with a spoon and a 2nd last (to us, 3 years after a premiership...); Fitzroy did even better, spooning then 'disappearing'; GWS spooned but scrabbled up to 3rd last; and WC, well...

We, on the other hand, bookended with an albeit very modest 14th but then a spectacular Prelim and 4th.

Forget 186. 

We need 190 to fall.

The lions will have a training run. May even manage a few key players.  I cant see 190 & 186 points (Fitzroy)ever being passed.

Looks like we're stuck with it.

 

At least the 200 total points one is over
