Slightly different, but still waiting for a Melbourne player to kick 100 goals in a season.

[Bay Riffin 1,413]

not beating St Kilda since 2006 is the most embarrassing.

would love to own Hawthorn sometime in my lifetime. they've owned us it seems forever since the 80s.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,368]

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

[rpfc 27,378]

Marked one off last year when we beat the Crows over there.

[John Crow Batty 8,215]

We need to knock off at least five. One or two per season will still keep us in limbo land.

Beat St Kilda at Etihad a week after beating the Pies on QB and that is four of the above...

Some are more meaningful than others though.

Beating Geelong down at Mordor would be huge, and of course beating Hawthorn, but Geelong are on a precipice - I would love to push them over...

[P-man 13,154]

The Etihad and North droughts are the most ludicrous.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Ludicrous was exactly the word that came to my mind p-man! Not winning two in a row for 3 whole seasons is [censored] disgusting!

I hate this thread. Nice formatting though I have to say.

I actually hated writing it.

I'm not joking.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I agree... mods, can this post please be nailed to the top of this forum?

[Sir Why You Little 34,405]

Ask the leadership group.

It's up to them.

I've recently adopted a strategy of starring into emptiness. I've cried too much and laughing makes you appear psychotic I've found.

...by 187 points :-)

[praha 10,267]

Added a few more.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

If I'm not mistaken, the last time we beat Hawthorn it put us on top of the ladder. I think that was also the last time we were on top...

[PaulRB 5,897]

Can you also add the win over in SA last year, was big and be nice to feel we've knocked over more than just one record since Roo's arrival..?

[Demon Jack 6,272]

2011 - the last time someone named Nathan Jones hasn't won the best and fairest and carried the club on his shoulders.

[John Crow Batty 8,215]

In the current game a 100 goal plus goal kicker is a bit unrealistic. Last happened in 2008 for any club. Though Hogan is as good a bet as anyone to get there someday.

Added Adelaide.

[Sir Why You Little 34,405]

Yep. Then we lost the next 5 games and were eliminated from the finals in week 1.

Such a Melbourne thing to do.

[Qwerty30 196]

Has not won a flag since 1964. Only record that is important to me.

[jazza 1,323]

Will win 2 games in row this year=tick.

Will win a game at the dome=tick

Maybe take catters to the line=?

[AzzKikA 2,369]

Why in seven levels of hell do i support this disgraceful piece of doody of a club?????

[71 Molloy 266]

Pledge per breakthrough?
