When was the last time we won 11 games?

 

Well it sure wasn't years 2012-2014 when we won a total of 12 games (2012=4,2013=2, 2014=4)!

11 wins is our best season for games won since 2006. Here's an extract from the relevant 'afltables.com' page.

Knocking off the Saints gave us 11 wins for the season the most since 2006 when we chalked up 13.  Quite a milestone and we are not finished yet.

Pedersen's contribution yesterday makes you wonder how many extra wins would we have had if he had been selected earlier in the season?

Geelong? (Leading 3/4 time)

Fremantle? (2 points)

Hawthorn? (3 points)

Richmond? (13 points)

Interesting that if we do win our last two games then we will only be 1 win off what we achieved in 2000 when we made the granny. 

Plenty of water to run under the bridge this year though, keep it rolling Dees!

I'd like to think at least 1 maybe 2 especially the Haw and Freo games during that time Hoges and Lewis got themselves rubbed out but we have got to remember all that has gone on this year suspensions, illnesses, funerals, deaths, injuries etc i think as a football club we have coped exceptionally well let's not forget all of this.

Yeah for sure. We were without key personnel for a very long time and really how many times this year have we played with a full strength forward line? Its caused a lot of imbalance and I think  we've handed in overall very well.

The trajectory is good and the future bodes well.

We're still a few important jigsaw pieces away. 

At the end of next season when Hogan, Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Salem and Hunt have played 50-60 games I reckon we'll start to see some big inroads.

It was Viney's third year that was his breakout and if not for his plantar fascia issue earlier in the year he would have been a much bigger contributor. Same can be said for a host of players who have had significant injuries. Gawn, Jones and Hoges obviously.

But as I said. The 50-100 game mark is where we'll start seeing some serious improvement from our young guns.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
