I think this thread about embarrassing records has reached its use by date. Time for something more positive. What records do we now hold that are ones we can be proud of? 

Jake Bowey tops the list of players who never played in a loss with 10. The next best, held be a few people is 9.

Is the 12 goals in a row the best ever in a Grand Final?

Has any team ever kicked three goals in less than a minute of game time?

Please add to the list. Let's enjoy our true magnificence!

One for the W team, first team to crack 100 and current highest score ever. (Did we also beat the record margin that day?)

The one I’m most proud of right now: shortest time since last premiership! 😄🏆

We have played the filth 24 times in finals and only lost 3. That is a record I am proud of. The 24 might be a figure out either way so if someone knows please correct me.

The last 15 encounters against the Pies (in finals) 

14 & 1 W/L record

Overall might be 16-5-1

5 times we've exacted the 2nd Semi/GF double over the Pies and our overall GF record against Collingwood is 6 & 1

Transferring from that other thread, we have been equal-least among Victorian clubs for allowing other teams to break a record of ten or more consecutive losses. Just GWS over the last 28 years, at the worst of our despair, while Richmond, Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton and Collingwood have wracked up two or more strikes over that time. Begone MFCSS.

If the AFL women win this weekend the Melbourne Football Club will be the first football club in Australia to hold both the AFL and AFLW Premierships at the same time.

Which club(s) in other countries have had this record?

I'm pretty certain we have the best win/games finals record of any team for the past decade. I read that we already led this a few years ago (2 wins from 3 games = 66%). Now it's up to 5 wins from 6 games (83%). By the end of 2027, it'll be 23 from 24 (96%).

Time for a random bag of individual statsl

Clayton Oliver; most handballs in a season with 482 in 2017. Incredibly, that count still stands despite being against players who had the extra games from finals.

Oliver claimed the most contested possessions in a season in 2021.

He is currently chasing most clearances/season, with his current 9/game behind only Brett Ratten's astonishing 265 total in 1999.

It has already been noted that Gawn holds the 'most hitouts in a season', with 1119 in 2018.

Chasing;

Steven May is currently on 8 rebound-50s a game, which is on target for the most ever, while he is also a fraction shy of the pace for most one percenters.

Christian Petracca is currently well ahead of the pace for inside-50s/season, with more than ten a game chasing Dangerfield's 194 total.

Oliver and Petracca are 1 and 2 for clangers in a seasons, which is the champion's stat given Franklin, Martin and Bontempelli are all in the top echelon.

Alex Neal-Bullen is going at 2 goal assists per game, chasing Jason Akermanis' 44 total in 2004.

Unicorn watch:

I'm convinced that Luke Jackson will become the first player to record every possible stat in a single game. 🦄

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
