    I got 5 and was convinced I got almost all correct. ☺️

    same here

    shows how good we all are at forgetting such a dismal decade :(

    Mind you anyone who really knew how many Dawes kicked to win the goal kicking has serious problems ?

    Seven. Missed geelong score,nominated Green as captain just as I realised it was james McDonald...

    Depressing questions. Esp. 186

    6/10. Better than the team across the period.

    7. I thought we had more coaches, less top-half finishes and Geelong kicked about 999 points. The veil of negativity weighs heavy

    9/10

    Bloody top half/bottom half question got me!

  • Quote

    I should have got nine, but while I was pretty sure of one of the answers couldn't bring myself to accept that Dawes really was our leading goal-kicker with 20 in 2014. I blame Jack Watts. Also, who was Melbourne's captain to start the decade? It depends on what date is considered the start of the decade.

    10/10 but guessed at least 3.

     

    Pretty sad really. I thought I'd repressed most of that decade. I guess not.

     

    Do MFC memberships come with free therapy? Asking for a friend.

    8/10. Tried to be a smart alec by not choosing Watts for kicking the winning goal in the QB clash. Thought it was another trick question like the top half question as he kicked the sealer. Was trying to remember our player that kicked the go ahead goal.

    The 186 question should have a pass option.

    8/10 Have been able to erase everything other than 186 from that Geelong game. Dawes got me  with 20, I was over optimistic with 25.

    I don’t think we trailed.  Collingwood came storming back, we were up by 4, then Watts kicked the sealer, not the ‘winner’.

    Fasalo I think kicked a goal after that which brought the margin back down to 4 points.

    Flawed question.

    Thanks 39. I was trying to remember if it was Hannan or Trac that put us in front but you’re spot on. We never actually trailed in the last quarter.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
