A History of 8-0

I want to win the premiership obviously. Anything else this year at this point will be a disappointment.

Having said that, I'd love to see us go 20-0 no matter what happens after that.

    What a horrible thing to think, after all I've had to go through...

    Not sure about the veracity of this data. Where's Essendon in 2000, for example? Should be somewhere in the first column.

     I think it’s a column for teams that didn’t win the flag that year.

    Nope, this is a list of undefeated teams who did not win the flag that year.

    This list doesn’t include 1956 when we won the first 13 games of the season and won the flag.

    ...because the list only shows streaks by teams that did not go on to win the flag that year.

    So my take from this is; around 30% of teams who achieve this go on to win the flag!

    If you told me at the start of the season we have a 30% chance of winning the Cup at this stage, I would be a bit skeptical.

    I'm enjoying each and every win.

    I dont think we are the best team, but i dont think its fully clicked for us yet either.

    What I am really enjoying is that this seems to be it. We look like a team who will have a successful run for a number of years.

    Sure beats talking to all of you on here about who we are going to take in the draft and how good we will be in 5 years time.

    Enjoy it!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
