The Streak Continues

Just dropping here to note that since that horror time in Cairns in late 2020, we have gone 30-4-1. 
 

I’ve said before that I truly believe that it was up there, when Max got the boys together, as far away from the MCG both geographically and spiritually as it is possible to be, that the curse was really lifted. 
 

long may the run continue.

    That is insane! I didn’t realise it was such a winning record. I’d love to know what the most games before a loss is if anyone knows.

    Yes, amazing we’ve had two streaks of nine wins since the start of 2021.

    Think it's 27 or so, Geelong from the 50s

    In hindsight that Cairns disaster could be marked as a turning point as significant as the Geelong loss to North way back, which promoted a collected removal of heads from 4rses and launched a incredible run of team and individual brilliance.

    But I think we all know that things only really turned when Jake Bowey joined the club.

    26 without a loss, 23 consecutive victories. Ugh Geelong.

    We did 19 under Smithy in 1955-56

    Let’s break that one!

    And you can tell they did not enjoy any of the losses in 2007. Three of the four teams they lost to that year, they played a second time after the loss;

    Lost to the Dogs in Round 1, then beat them by 75 in round 16.

    Lost to the Kangaroos in Round 5, then beat then by 27 in round 20 and 106 in the qualifying final.

    Lost to Port (breaking the streak) in round 21, and then posted 163 to 44 in the Grand Final.

     

    By the way, when that streak was broken, they then started another 12 game winning streak, followed by a 15 game winning streak, followed by a 13 game winning streak.

    Works out to, um, 15+12+15+13= 55 wins, 4 losses from the start of the multi-streak to the next time they lost two games in a row.

    But we've got Bowey now, so all is well.

    28-7-1 since Port loss I reckon . 

    2020 run was W Adelaide W North L Dogs W Pies W Saints LSwans LFreo W GWS W Bombers   6-3 

    plus 2021  20-4-1 and 2-0 in 2022. 
     

    That makes 28-7-1 in 36 games 

    BTW Goody's record is 64 - 48 - 1 since Round 1 in 2017 over 113 games.

    Thought this thread was going to be about Bowey. 

    9 wins.

    Anyone know what the best streak from debut actually is?

    but that was far from continuous games

    in fact it took him 4 seasons after being dropped numerous times. 5 games only in his first 3 years.

    still, that is the record, even if there is a bit of apples and oranges

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
