Every day that passes is another day closer to our next loss.
Luckily the same can be said for Richmond.

    Should be a part of every football conversation, really.

    The best time to delete this post was immediately after posting it.

    The second best time is now.

    100% we lose on Saturday now.

    (I do love the stat though. When was the last time Melbourne had the longest gap to its most recent loss?)

    The doggies beat us in preseason. Caused a fair amount of angst and wrist slitting on DL as I recall.

    Our mission is to avoid the dreaded 21,000.

    Gaaahhhh that is worse than Nat Jones games won vs lost record!

    Geelong won 23 games between Rd 12, 1952 and Rd 13, 1953 which spanned 378 days. 

    However they also did not lose a game between Rd 9, 1952 and Rd 13, 1953 which spanned 399 days because they drew Rd 11, 1952. 

    I’m not sure if we can count clubs that didn’t field teams during war years that may have won the last match they competed in before disbanding and then returning.

    Not after a loss, surely not?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
