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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
