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.

hmmmm equal 3rd with 3 ahead of him?

hmmm...you are right to be bemused. I should have said that there are three people ahead of him which makes him equal 4th.

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! 

Update: Now 16

Our winning streak of 16 puts us equal 9th on the ladder of consecutive wins. Way out in front is Geelong with 23 in 1952/53.

Also, we're the only team to have started two consecutive seasons 9-0 twice. Previous seasons were 1955, 1956 and, of course, 2021. No pressure... but they were all Premiership years.

 

Is that our biggest win over the Eagles (and their lowest home score)?

We now hold the record for best opening to a season by a reigning premier (in the modern AFL era post 1990, if anyone wants to go back further be my guest). Previous was 8-0 Geelong 2018. We’re now the champions!!


I think we are also the only team to have gone 9-0 in 2 consecutive years twice. 1955-1956 and 2021-2022.

That’s my understanding, and apparently the only club to do it at all, even once.
Fair effort in 125 years of the competition!

Jake Bowey tops the list of players who never played in a loss with 17. Next highest is 9. In addition, should we win next week, he will equal the 18 games that Albert Lauder from Collingwood played before his first loss. So, something extra to play for over the next two weeks - the chance to equal Lauder against Freo and then to go on to break that record the week after.

Another reason to win tomorrow: If we do, Jake Bowey will equal the record of 18 wins to start a career in the V/AFL.

 

Didn't happen. Nevertheless, Bowey sits equal second with number of wins before a loss. Equal with Kelvin Moore (Haw, played 1970-84) and Alby Ingleman (Carlton, 1905-08). The loss must have hit Ingelman hard. He only played 3 more games after his loss. Mind you, they were all wins, so he finished his career with 21 games in total - 20 of which were wins.

We'll get another opportunity every time we have a first-gamer to see if that player can knock off Bowey and at the same time claim the V/AFL record.

No idea if this is a record, but at the Demons (MFC and Casey) for Season 2022 we currently have a 93% win rate:

AFL Men's = 5/5

AFL Women's = 11/13 (season completed)

VFL Men's = 4/4

VFL Women's = 8/8

With Casey's VFLW season over, thought I'd update this. Obviously, been a bit of a dip since, but 82% is still impressive across four leagues. Finals are included:

AFL Men's = 11/14

AFL Women's = 11/13 Grand Finalist

VFL Men's = 12/12

VFL Women's = 12/17 Prelim Finalist

Update to our club win record at the end of the men's H&A seasons. Has remained steady at 80%:

AFL Men's = 16/22

AFL Women's = 10/12 Grand Finalist

VFL Men's = 17/18

VFL Women's = 12/17 Prelim Finalist


Simon Goodwin’s finals coaching record is something we can be proud of! Best W/L percentage of the current top 8 coaches (I will update if this changes but seeing as I am barracking hard for the pies to lose, purely out of hatred, I’m hoping I won’t have to). 


Finals Coaching records:

Simon Goodwin: 5W-1L, 83% Win, 1 Premiership

Damien Hardwick: 10W, 5L, 67% Win, 3 Premierships

John Longmire: 10W-11L, 48%, 1 Premiership,

Michael Voss: 1-1, 50%, No Premierships

Chris Scott: Finals 8W-15L, 35% Win, 1 Premiership

Chris Fagan: 1-5, 16.7%, No Premierships

Justin Longmuire: NA

Craig MacRae: NA

Freo were gone for all money at half time:  6.8.44 to 2.7.19.  The we were overrun due to injuries, illness and some good tactics.

It was the 'recency effect' in play by the umpires; they forgot the first half for which none of our players were rewarded.

Judging by the way so many players were given votes in heavy defeats that Round 11 result surprises me.

We were beaten by over 6 goals?! Could have fooled me if we had one of the top three performers that night.

Agreed.

Not one player gave a yelp in the second half or remotely looked like arresting the very heavy Freo momentum.

No MFC player deserved a vote that evening on the back of a 1 half effort.

Not so good now Simon 60% 5-3. 

Has anyone won the wooden spoon the year after a flag? If so we can be proud we didn't do that.

Good point. Called AFLX  off when they realised we would never be beaten.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
