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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
