    Tracca joins an elite group next week and I hope that Clarry can keep his run going. But don’t want him to risk further injury.😢✅💕

    Be nice if his run continues and 'tracs' like N.Smith's or, even better, B.Dixon's before him, which came with 3 and 4 flags respectively!

    As an aside, Jack Crisp up to 185 consecutive games - that streak is starting to get a bit too close to the record for comfort.

    Couldn't agree more. Needs to sling tackle someone.

    He must be close to burnt out?...

    Norm's record is pretty decent considering it was WWII at the time!

    Michael Hibberd will also bring up 100 MFC games. Big night of milestones!

    I asked if that would be included on the banner as well as Tracc’s and Sparrow’s milestones but unfortunately it’s only ever total number of games that gets a mention.
    All good though, WE know he’s marking his 100th as a Demon and we love him for it.

    Great achievement. Seems a long time ago that he missed a whole season with a knee.i Must admit I was worried he'd make after that. Glad he proved me wrong

    Just a curious thought about the difference between Oliver's consecutive run from debut, and Petracca now getting a stable run at it after a very interrupted start to his career. Gawn and Brayshaw have each only missed five games in the last five years.

    Got a whole group of young guys rarely missing a game now, too. Touch wood but it really seems we've got our preventative conditioning sorted out.

    Side note; how ridiculous is it that Nathan Jones managed 109 consecutive games starting from 2012. Resilience personified, physically and mentally.

    make a seperate little banner for hibba that he can run through between the time he leaves the rooms and arrives in the tunnel onto the ground.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
