Demon finals record since 1987

hi all

the only stat that matters is winning but while we await another win reflect on this (the modern era but if we went back into our domination of the 50s and 60s this record would be even more impressive):

1987: 2 wins from 3 finals

88: 3/4

89: 1:2

90: 1/2

91: 1/2

94: 2/3

98: 2/3 (stupid Final 8 system then deprived us of a flag)

00: 2/3 (only year until last year we got a week's rest in the finals)

02: 1/2 

04: 0/1

05: 0/1

06: 1/2 (we got rid of Mini-Bus Thomas from St Kilda with that one win)

18: 2/3

21: 3/3

Tallies: 21 wins from 34 finals

It would seem as though we have a reason to be confident going into Friday based on these simplistic stats?

    err not for these stats , no.

    Our best simply stacks up well against everyone else and we are battle hardened.

     

    Other teams won't want to play Melbourne in the finals.

    Excellent effort you've produced. You certainly can't accuse the MFC of being a choker in finals over the last 35 years. Touch wood.

    Do you have the record of Melbourne V Sydney games at the MCG from 2002 - 2022. It's quite frankly horrifying.

    Pretty sure our record against most teams during that Period of time is equally horrifying, not just against Sydney

    It's next level worse than anyone else. Trust me.

    That made me so happy.  Saints considered themselves to be superior, Thomas didnt believe in ruckmen, and jeff White played a great last quarter.

    @Anti Sainthas made a good point. We've bought some careers to a close, including Mini-Bus (i.e. half a coach). 

    And BTW - one of my great days as a Dee was being at the MCG on 13 September 1987. Completely pants the Gerard Healy Swans in front of 80 thousand. Sugar was great. I remember yelling to Gerard, "hope you learned something about loyalty today Healy". The cheer squad went crazy @WalkingCivilWar:-)

    Crazier than when Kozzy kicked THAT goal vs. Carlton two weeks ago??? 
    I don’t know if that’s even possible!

    Not possible. Although when Darren Bennett used to launch 'em from inside the centre square, the cheer squad would loose its chit.

    Heard an interesting story about him just the other night. Apparently he used to like to be first to run through the banner, that is, until he ‘cut his forehead on a piece of tape’ and let the banner crew know all about it. From then on he’d hang back lest he sustain another such ‘injury.’ Diddums 😭

    I'm not sure who's older - our 1987 finals team or this year's Geelong side. Might be a good game.

    Loved the WA recruit - and what an excerpt ... hey, is it me or does that ball look smaller than today's  Sherrin - could that be a Ross Faulkner?

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
