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.

    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

    Two best wins

    2014 vs Adelaide at Adelaide Oval

    2015 vs Geelong at Kardinia Park

    Two hoodoos broken and finally some real hope after years of hell.

    Brilliant read! Mr Demonblog is a seriously funny and talented writer.

    Only at Melbourne can you have three 90 point wins (in 2011) and end the season in crisis.

    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.

    I’d have finally beating North for the first time in about 13 seasons in there somewhere

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
