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!

    They've been under the blowtorch for the whole year.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
