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 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.

    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: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
