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

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
