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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
