Our good friends at Demonblog have put together the Top 50 wins of the decade. I was actually surprised we had amassed 50 wins in that time. 

 

When I saw this I thought exactly the same thing. The one point win against Gold Coast would almost fall in by default.

My liver cries and hides in the corner whenever it sees the replay of Tom McDonalds goal featured at #3. White girl drunk. 

When TMac kicked that goal, I ran the length of the house, jumped and fist pumped like an idiot, and when I went to run back, I slipped and put my heel through the plasterboard in my hallway. It always brings a smile to my face whenever I see my slightly off colour patch up job.

I will read all of this fantastic Blog after the Christmas ? madness has passed. But i am guessing number 1 is the meth coke victory off the boot of TMac. 
Wadda We Sing and myself watched that game at the Elsternwick Pub, myself with the aid of a few Whiskey ? shots. The Euphoria of “what the hell just happened” i shall always remember. 
i expect similiar committment in Round 1 next year, the Whiskey shots will be there

I know it's hard to go past the two finals wins, but for the moment of pure elation, I still find it difficult to pip watching that 50m bomb from Dean Kent go through the middle against WC Rd22 2018.

I'd like to think that we don't have so many of these types of wins going forward, because we have played the sort of solid H&A seasons that put us securely into the top 8 well before Rd22 in a steady controlled build that puts us into the best position to go all the way in September, but I'm not sure that's really the MFC...I live in hope.

As someone who got suspended from this site for using a term which rhymes with a four letter word beginning with f and finishing with k - oh, yes, not THE word but , I repeat, a word which rhymed with it - I commend the Censors on Demonland for allowing the many swear words on this blog to remain intact. is it a sign that Demonland now accepts common community standards? Why, I even heard dem words on the ABC!!!!

by my quick calculation it was 74 wins for the decade ... take out 2017 and 2018 and.... well you don't want to know

PS.. we won 72 games during the '70's so perhaps we are on the way up

Well we can definitely compile a Top 100 losses of the decade list then :laugh:

Always love Demonblogs work. I personally would have had win 17 against the Hawks rated higher.

It cemented the fact we were a real team again.

Jordan Lewis would shortly nominate a trade to us, which at the time was so significant the president wrote an email to the entire football club and football department that a triple premiership player had just nominated to come to Melbourne.

If we are rating our top 50 from the last decade, its a fair chance there will be some ordinary wins amongst them. Its not like we had to dismiss many as not worthy of being in the top 50..........

Hope the next decade has far more to choose from, including a couple of flags.

I only opened this thread because I misread the title and thought it said "Top 50 wines of the decade". I was curious - not about the wines themsleves, but why Demonland had diversified. 

Could have been worse. "Top 50 whines of the decade" would be a thread to behold.

The Geelong Elimination final was clearly our best performance of the decade. We were ok but a tad lucky the week after.

Agreed. And Brendan McCartney is on record as saying that it was a very ordinary win over Hawthorn and the writing was on the wall for the following week.

I found the Geelong finals win far more satisfying than the Hawthorn finals win.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
