The Significance of 9 Wins in a Row

One Flag and I am cured of MFCSS . The MFC army IS mustering after a long furlough . The members was packed . As the season goes on more will join and other teams supporters will jump on for the finals . We are 4 games ahead of Richmond in 8th . Pinching myself so often to make sure I am not dreaming that I am red and blue on the outside .

    Looking at the season from afar and if all lists are healthy coming into september.TO me it's a race out of 5 teams this year

    Dees,dogs,port, tigers and cats

    Just all comes down to the top 4 and where everyone plays 

    Anyone can knock anyone off on the day ATM but if the interstate teams don't make the top 4 it's going to be tough for them 

    The only real smokey at the g is the Swans it suits there game but I think the kids will run out of legs in a long season

    Just hope like hell we keep doing what where doing

    go demons

    I would drop the Tigers ( said after 2nd round they would be lucky to make the 8 ) and put in Brisbane . Hoping Lions also  tire at season .

    The only significance of 9 wins in a row is that it is one more than 8 wins in a row.

    One week at a time. First make the eight, then the four, then the two.

    Have been through too many false projections.

    Sadly I agree with you tiers however I do enjoy 9 zero more than any other result at this point. And we still haven’t beaten anyone above us!

    I've always had the view that it's not a bad thing if you’re not playing your best football this time of year.  I just worry that we've peaked too early.

    Already won as many as last season.

    I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.

    We need to finish top 2 to give us the best chance of winning the flag.  This season it is likely that 16 wins will secure top 2.  As such the only significance of our 9 - 0 start is that we now required just 7 wins from the last 13 games to achieve this.

    I don't think we've peaked at all.  Working out what is our optimal forward set-up is very much work-in-progress.

    Just taking it one game at a time, no point in stressing ahead of time, enjoying the serenity of it all and we still haven’t played our best Footy yet. Each win puts us that much closer to Finals footy and how we all loved 2018 and we are now a better team. 2021 roll on and on.!!!!

    Go Dee’s...!!!!

    was intending to go on Saturday but the weather and drive put me off.

    Bulldogs is a real possibility.

    Would love a game at Preston/Windy Hill/Coburg or Port.

    Seems that the VFL draw pits the AFL related teams against each other.

    The streak is challenging for mental state. Increasingly I've found myself going to the footy hoping not to lose rather than to win. Makes it slightly less enjoyable when we do inevitably grind out our predictable 4-5 goal win.

    Such strange times! Loving it though, can't wait to see how we go in the Bulldogs game. Every chance they get roadblocked by our impenetrable defensive walls and our big boys turn on up the offensive hurt factor.

    I’d like to know the significance of 9-0 for other teams in recent history i.e. last 20 years. How many teams that went 9-0 ended up winning the premiership?

    we keep saying this but starting to wonder if they can improve greatly.

    You don't improve forward delivery overnight for example. 

    Goals v Behinds is 50% luck... just ask Dusty

    The fringe players are contributing well

    Probably LJ has the greatest upside

    Sure there is scope for improvement but not sure it will come.

    Of course our present standard has been good enough so far

    just noticed we have a VFL game against the Swans on Sunday at 1pm at Casey.

    Assuming the sub and the emergency are back from Adelaide it could be a strong Casey side.

    Sunday weather looking not too bad.. 18 fine and a medium breeze

    Sadly Casey is the other end of the earth from me in the north west DJ. Hopefully that game is on tv.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
