I meant the 2011’s but if I write that everyone would think I meant 2011, the year 😁

    That is correct

    If we win today I assume it will be a record for the closest days between premierships for an AFL club?

    I would certainly be an achievement with respects to men's & women's double, but in a more general sense, surely there are teams have also won a reserves and/U19 premership  together with a seniors premership at some stage when those teams were still being feilded?

    Fritsch’s 6 is the most goals in a GF this century, can we include this?

    The most dominant 1.5 quarters in GF history.

    Yeah

    We’re 4-0 with long faces cos we’re not kicking 16 goals in 40 minutes each week 😅

    How about a 4 pronged trade result that went a long way towards helping the team win a premiership ... and maybe another flag or 2 as a result

    With astute trading that covered a number of seasons we converted  Hogan, Watts & Tyson into Sparrow, Ben Brown, May & Fritsch

    In the Hogan trade we received pick 23 (Sparrow) and pick 6 (May) We also gave up pick 65 (a negligible pick)

    For Watts we received pick 31 (used on Fritsch ... still only 25 years old with 6 goals in a GF)

    And for Tyson we received Preuss in exchange ... we later traded Preuss for a 2nd round draft pick.  And in that same trade period we acquired Ben Brown for a 2nd round draft pick (around about the same pick number as what we received for Preuss)

    And that's apart from trading and nailing all sorts of other picks from the 2012 off season onwards

    The net result is something that we can rightfully be quite proud of

    Probably one of the best rebuilds on record ... especially when we consider where we started off - ground zero?

    That's right up there in the 'best-of' trade results, radar

    But us trading up to get Oliver and the 'Strategic planning' to acquire Jackson were masterstrokes ... those off-season surgeries sure paid off leading into the 2019 season

    Trading up to get Bowey is another ... who is to say that he doesn't become a premier on-baller later on?  Did he not spend his junior days as a midfielder?

    And Longmire?

    Don't know the exact deal but Essendon destroyed Freo in trades when they first entered the comp. Git Lloyd and Lucas for Ridley (who?) or something like that.

    We also got Farmer for Phil Gilbert from memory and Adelaide also got Andrew McLeod. No wonder Freo stunk for so long.

    Destroyed isn't quite the right word. Draft tampering is.

    The trade was not ridley for Lloyd and Lucas 

    Freo never had access to Lloyd as he was in the concession (for losing an uncontracted player) draft only open to 16 year olds.

    Freo wanted Ridley (uncontracted), Tony Delaney and Dale Kickett from essendon. Essendon advised freo that the trades for Delaney (pick 4!!!!🤮) and Kickett wouldn't go through unless freo agreed to not sign any players from the teams that finished the season below essendon and so giving essendon pick 1 in the 16 year old concession draft.

    Freo being freo agreed to this.

    Horrible trade anyway, but not quite how it is generally remembered

    And pure draft tampering by essendon

    Melbourne stunk up the concession draft by not picking Steven King who was available (we got one of the cockatoo-collins brother)

    Carlton haven’t beaten us in a final since 1962

    These sorts of records are not rare enough ie too common because we don't play some teams often enough for record to be an achievement.

    For instance we have never lost a Grand Final to Adelaide Brisbane Carlton Freo Geelong GWS Gold Coast North Port Saints Swans Eagles. Fact is we have never played them in a Granny!

    We have lost in a GF to Pies 1958 Bombers 2000 1946 Dogs 1954 Hawks 1988 and drew with Bombers  in 1948 ( and won the replay) 

    And your post that we have not lost to Carlton in Finals  since 1962 is not really significant IMO as we have only played them in Finals THREE times ( 1988 1994 and 2000 ) since then, I think.  These records are finished by lack of genuine competition versus many teams.

    I have a record I think, my sons and I caught the first Jetstar fight to Vietnam in two years. We are riding motorcycles from HCMC to Hanoi (about 2000km) On the front of my bike is a Melbourne Member 2022 sticker. I am prepared to bet that's a first. Go Deees.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
