    Yes I concur. I even went back last Sunday for a second hold and photos as I was not happy with the photos of myself on the first occasion.

    What the Cup symbolises is pride, excellence in achievement, and a journey by all supporters like no other which means so much after such a long time. 

    Our players and staff under the circumstances are immortals who will be even prouder for the history making journey that they  have undertaken.

    Achieved in an utterly disorganised season by the pandemic our Cup will even grow in stature by the football public along with history and evolvement of time.

    In seasons gone by, this would have been someone else's club like Hawthorn or Richmond that greeted the touring international premership team at the MCG and basked in the glory of being the respective champions.

    ...but now it's us and it's our turn.  Still kinda doesn't feel real, but it is true and it's a bloody magnificent feeling.

    GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

    Well said. I never thought I'd be so enamoured with the object itself, just expected it to feel like a mere symbol, a fun photo op and that's it. But when I touched it, there was something electric about it. Probably was more impactful than otherwise in making it feel real since so much of the experience was virtual to that point.

    Oh it’s still a symbol…………………..of my life’s pursuit.

    I feel for those whose dream it was to live to see a Melbourne premiership, yet were unable to. I am sooooo fortunate and grateful that I got to, and so I celebrate it for them as well.

    The minor premiers win the Dr McLelland trophy which, apparently, is "a perpetual shield that is kept at AFL House" (see Wikipedia)

    Hmm. Did you unplug it first? That might explain it.

    Tigers break all-time record; ‘Embarrassing’ Eagles face AFL world’s wrath: 3-2-1

    Nice that another club is stepping up to the plate to take the mantle from us.

     

    We play the Eagles in another few week and I'd love for us to have a crack at beating 186.  The game is at our happy hunting ground of Optus Stadium, so hopefully that helps.  I don't the Optus will be ever the cauldron of doom of the Eagles or Freo again for our current playing group.

    Here is a record I am not proud of - havent been to a game since the Cairns disaster.  Easily the longest break from watching MFC in my life.

    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! 

    Now 14. Let's not get blase about this. That's 5 more than the next best.

    I think there are two records being confused here.

    The record that Bowey holds is the most number of career games without a single loss.

    The other record is most games before first loss, as shown in the table above.  Bowey is four wins behind that particular record at the moment.

    This is the more impressive of the two. Whereas in the other record a player can have experienced a loss and then followed that up with a long run of wins, Jake may rack up the same number of wins without ever knowing what it’s like to lose.  
    PS: Middle para (above), instead of ‘most’ you mean ‘highest’ right? Soz DS, but this is a rare occasion where someone gets to point out an error of yours. I ain’t about to let that go begging! 😆

    Now 15. He's also now the holder of the record for current players of wins before his first loss, having overtaken Ben McEvoy who started with 14 wins before a loss. 

    Just a reminder that the overall record of wins before first loss is 19 held by Albert Lauder of Collingwood. There are no players with 18; two with 17 (Kelvn Moore of Hawthorn and and Alby Ingleman of Carlton), none on 16 and three others with him on 15. So, he's equal third on that list at the moment.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
