Good to see the AFL recognising something that's really lacking.

The only stat that matters is premierships.

And then the doctor said, 'Is the patient alive or dead?" and no further details were required.


An interesting stat:

Aside from GC Suns, we have the longest drought with regards to winning a final in back to back years. That occurred between 1987- 1991 and the drought cannot be rectified this year.

I believe Carlton is the next worst - 1999-2001.

I'd like to know statistically how many journeys and learnings we've had since our last finals campaign. And have we learnt enough to arrive this year.

We're not far off. I learned that the other day from Goody, again.

Opinion vs fact. I'll stick with facts. 66 years = zero.

And then the plumber said, "I see the water isn't running.  Don't need to know anything more here."


Considering the amount of unforseen historical content the AFL has (clearance reports, reserves and Under 19s player information etc...) they could create an amazing historical resource like AFL Tables or AustralianFootball.com if they wanted to. Maybe they could sign up with Ancestry.com or similar to help deliver it.

I said this in the survey but I think they're more interested in whether to put show 50s higher in an earlier column than rebound 50s.

Bloody shame. If we had something as magic as Demonwiki for the whole of the history of the VFL, I reckon I’d just about retire now and spend my days reading old reports

I'm confused (regularly), so we won in 1964 + 66 yrs = let me check ... um carry the .... umm ..  credibility factor plus ??? = x..? Correct?

So knowing why doesn't alter the stats. 66 years still = zero.

The clue is "66 = zero", so why not any other number as well?

Also, if 66 = zero then clearly zero must equal sixty-six.  Ergo, We are in the same position 'time since premiership' as Richmond.

Seems about right.

Both clubs are "?" seasons from their next premiership.

australianfootball.com is an up and coming site, and if I wasn't so familiar with AFL Tables I'd almost prefer it.

If somebody went through and added match reports from newspapers to the games that would be fantastic, but speaking from experience it's a monster task. 10 years on and there are still some old games with newspaper reports available that I haven't gotten to. Can't imagine how painful it would be to do with 1897 (even 1858) onwards.

Having been at the GF in 1964 my mind is starting to falter. You are correct - it should be 56 years still = zero.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
