A run for the record books

It’s not every week that stats are on our side, so let’s go through some of the numbers to put this run of form into perspective.

- First time in club history that we have won three consecutive games by over 10 goals.

- First time in club history that we have won two consecutive games by over 15 goals.

- First time since 1993 that we have won two games in a season by over 15 goals.

- 18 consecutive quarters won. Club record. All-time AFL record is 21. Next week!!

- Highest ladder position since round 20, 2006.

- Best start to a season (first 10 rounds) since 1988 (8-2). Three times since we’ve gone 7-3 but with lesser percentage.

- Victory over Carlton was our eighth biggest ever and best win since 1993 v Richmond 121pts.

- Not only are we the top scoring side in 2018 but we are the only club to have scored over 140 points in a game... and have done it three times.

- Best five game streak since 1900. Here are the top five:

5W-0L 235% - R1-R5 1899
5W-0L 223% - R7-R11 1900
5W-0L 217% - R1-R5 1897*
5W-0L 207% - R6-R10 2018
5W-0L 206% - R20-SF 1987
5W-0L 205% - R8-R12 1963

... what else?

Is this our best ever against the Crows?

Not quite. 96 points in the false dawn of 2011.

When did did we last win five straight and when did we last win them by this percentage?

... what else?

 

 

Is this our highest percentage since '64?

 

 


If NT want us to too keep playing up there they have to double or maybe triple the amount they are paying us or we end our relationship.

Ive changed my tune on NT this time of year during the afternoon is the only time to play up there.

 

I’ll be happy with 4 1 point quarter wins ?


Hogan has kicked 26 goals after 10 games. In 2014, our top goalkicker for the whole year kicked 20. Our next worst since the 1920s was 26 in 2008.

Note - I haven't named the players in 2014 and 2008 because it's not about them. They were the beneficiaries (victims?) of playing in poor teams.

Presently, this is our best start to a season since 1988. IF we get up against the Pies on QB it’ll make this our best start to a season (first 12 rounds) since... 1964.

Shattered we lost the first quarter today.

Yes Clint but we couldn't give two hoots about the consecutive winning quarter record.  Winning the game was all anybody cared about today. 

And anyway, we are already 3 winning quarters into another attempt on that record. Let's add 4 to that against the filth.

MELB in the past 6 weeks have score 765 points and conceded 372 (205.6%)
205.6% is their BEST EVER percentage over any 6 game span.

(We are in the best form in the club’s history.)

Prev: 204.4% in 1897 R01-06, the first 6 games the club ever played.

It’s the best 6 game run in the AFL since Hawthorn in 2012.

What amazes me is that (1) someone bothered to check and that (2) this sort of analysis can now be done reasonably quickly. I await with interest someone who can tell me in how many of Nathan Jones 250 games he also played with someone with the surname McDonald/MacDonald.

Would be so Melbourne like to have the best patch of form in the history of the club and still miss the finals.  We could also miss the finals with the highest % ever of  a non finals team.

Last season we missed the finals by the smallest % gap ever, finding new ways to crush the spirit of the fans.

But missing out this season would be a whole new level of fail.

Apologies for the negativity, sometimes I still get flashbacks.

I think you mean his 248 H&A games

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
