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.

    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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
