Didn't even think about the hoodoo until I was leaving the ground. I'm really happy about this win for quit a few reasons. Hoping it provides a solid springboard into next season.

 

No doubt it's embarrassing, but it doesn't help when we're playing against a team nobody gives a rats about.

And actually the noise from the crowd and the atmosphere was brilliant

I was particularly fond of the deadly silence every time GWS kicked a goal, or the booing. It was a nice touch.

We also created a new one for the lowest crowd at Etihad, but that one is on us, not the players

I'm kind of thrilled with this record. It's the fans telling the AFL in no uncertain terms what they think of being given such a rubbish time against a rubbish team at the wrong stadium. If they want us to turn up they can let us play our home games at our home ground at a decent time. Playing the Spice Girls less would help as well.

 

Last round Thursday nite game next year . We wont make the finals who cares

Most important records to break next year:

1. Winning 2 games in a row.

Until we break this embarrassing record we will never go anywhere

2. Beating North Melbourne

Because I hate their guts

Yep - there was a moment when a GWS player (do they have names?) kicked a goal from nowhere, and all that could be heard was the sound of crickets, and the weak groan of the gears in Derwayne's brain trying to work out what had happened. It was eerie seeing GWS players tussling each others hair with no crowd noise.

We also sounded very vocal on TV.

After today, if we win round 1 in 2016 I'm calling it back-to-back and ticking off no. 1.

I worked out why we never got the points there up until today.

It thought it was to do with the wings and the size of the ground originally but now I know it is because we have been a bunch of weak spirited ,useless retardos for the past 10 years.

And GWS tanked.

Would Like this several times if I could Jaded

That was also our first win the final round of a season since the Kreuzer Cup in 2007.

Was that at Doglands? Was that the last win there? We're any of our current list playing in our last win at Doglands?

Nope. It was at the 'G and Travis Johnstone ran around by himself for 46 or 47 possessions.

Let's not get too silly

No doubt it's embarrassing, but it doesn't help when we're playing against a team nobody gives a rats about.

In a timeslot nobody gives a rats about (1.10pm sucks at the best of times), and on Father's Day.

I'm consigned to us being given more Etihad home games given Carlton wants to move more home games from Etihad to the G (and hey, why not right, they're Carlton so they get what they want), but hopefully the AFL will stop and consider whether there's any point.

Was that at Doglands? Was that the last win there? We're any of our current list playing in our last win at Doglands?

I think just Jones and Dunn.

I wish they'd break the annoying record of losing whenever I tip them and winning whenever I tip against them.

They cost me $200 today because the pricks underneath me had nothing to lose and went the Dees.

We all know our embarrassing record against the Shinboners over the last decade but the boot used to be on the other foot . When they knocked us off on the G in 1969 , it was their first win there since 1952 !

First win in September since 8 September 2006.

That's the only thing I love about playing the expansion sides. The small crowd is amplified because everyone's on the same side

I'm not counting a Round 1 win as 2 in a row. It needs to be within the same season. Let's not get selective and desperate. We all know consistent foitball over a season is key.

It should also be noted that this year we won both the first and last games of the year

i haven't researched it but i suspect it's quite a few years since we have done that

Have we ever beaten a team by 39 and then lost to them by 98 in the same year?

In 1996, we lost to Collingwood by 94 points in Round 2, and then 8 weeks later in Round 10 we beat them by 38.

  • 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.

    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.
