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

    VFL Men's = 17/18

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
