Cumulative winning margin in Finals

We won our three finals by 33, 83 and 74 points for a total of 190 points.

Is this a VFL/AFL record?

(Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere and I've missed it. If so, please delete...and perhaps point me in the right direction)

    l mentioned it on another thread yesterday that we should refer to our premiership winning finals series as '190'.

    So, from the data above, 190 points is fourth best behind:

    • Geelong 2007 - 230 points
    • Essendon 2000 - also 230 points
    • Essendon 1949 - 192 points

    Something to aim for next year.

    That 1987 finals run was something to behold. 199.5% and still sitting 5th on the list above. The Demons hold 2 of the top 5 spots.

    Didn't know where to post this, but I realised that we gave each of Brisbane, Geelong and Bulldogs their biggest loss of the year during finals. In the case of Geelong (83 points vs 44 points in H&A) and Bulldogs (74 points vs 28 points in H&A, which was also from us) by a long way.

    We really did dominate like a team hasn't since Geelong 2007, as evidenced by the table in OP

    My one regret is that we didn't smash Brisbane as well, and stuck to our in-season formula of a five-goal winning margin. Could have though, if we pulled the trigger and kicked straight.

    I note that, in 1987, we were the only team on that list (in the last 60 years) not to have won the premiership.

    Gees, we smashed swannies and roos in the first 2 games.

    Comparable to smashing the catties and doggies this year but without the glory.

    As I was too young to remember 1987 - this puts into context how enormous the Stynes / Buckenara incident was against the hawks.  1st finals appearance since 1964, smashing our opposition in the first two finals, arguably our greatest ever player captaining us at the twilight of his career and turning it on, having the reigning premier the hawks on toast in the preliminary.... 94, 98, 2000, 2002, 2018 etc were hard enough but that 1987 year must've been something and really hurt!  I'm so glad everyone on here who remembers that year (and the pain before and after) can now have tasted the ultimate success!

    Mmmmm .... no regrets from me.  The only regret would have been spending all our petrol tickets in the Brisbane game and not being able to come back in the GF.

    And, speaking of the comeback, of course in retrospect (not good for the heart at the time) would grinding the Dogs from the start with a progressive 3,6 9, 12 goal gap have been as invigorating as having to come back and slaughter them?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
