When a team gets better hoodoos tend to get broken. The cats had the wood over the hawks then the trend reversed and once again the cats prevailed. The MFC have two straight wins against GWS and Collingwood.

And the club record for contested possessions broken while we're at it. 

Oh wow, really. That's pretty neat.

Don't get me started on this [censored] home game at Etihad against a team that plays all their home games at Etihad, thus having a complete advantage.

Awesome work by the AFL yet again.

At least we beat the Pies playing "away" at the "G"! The AFL should be thanked for giving us a home ground advantage against the in-form Saints (an opponent to be feared/respected in comparison to the rabble of the last two weeks)!

p.s. This time next week I am looking forward to beating our three-match hoodoo and achieving a record membership for our efforts.

Next is the St Kilda hoodoo - no wins since the 2006 Elimination Final.

After that, let's beat a top four team.

Or are we taking things one hoodoo at a time?

Yes one at a time WJ.

Well...nope.

We did have a player kick 7 goals though, no idea when the last time was that happened. So does that count?

It would have been massive if he had kicked nine (instead of one behind and one out on the full from set shots)!

when was the last 3 out of 4 wins?

In 2011, same period where we had the most recent consecutive wins before this year (beat Freo Round 13, Richmond Round 14, lost to the Dogs Round 15, then beat Port round 17 after a bye).

We've scored 100 points in four of our last five games. First time since Rounds 10-13, 2006.

Great stat. We just missed out on the ton by less than a goal against St Kilda last week as well.

Said during the commentary that it was our first time past 150 points since round 6, 2004

Actually vs GC at the Gabba in 2011. Believed it was 159-69 but it was just GC's 2nd AFL game so maybe that has a bit of an * against it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
