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.

Last time I attended a game.

Scared off for life.

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!

26-7-1 since Glenn Bartlett sprayed the team after the Port loss

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.

That’s what I thought this streak thread was about!

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. 

When do we get to buy this streak video?

Saints had one, remember.

Thought this thread was going to be about Bowey. 

9 wins.

Anyone know what the best streak from debut actually is?

Albert Lauder - 18-0

Albert Lauder - 18-0 

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

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
