On the one hand it would wipe out an embarrassing record held by the club for 44 years on the other hand the percentage boost it will give Brisbane this season over us might be insurmountable. Having said that I don’t think we’ll be able to catch Brisbane now on wins so percentage may be moot and they’re likely to thrash the Eagles by a lot anyway even if they don’t exceed 190 points.

It would be nice for another team to take on this ignominious record of 190+ points in an AFL game. Imagine the Eagles losing by 200 points!

I reckon any loss by over 150+ points will see Adam Simpson sacked.

Eagles supporters won't tolerate another humiliating loss.

Never been one for kicking a team whilst they're down but the 1994 Preliminary Final broke my heart as a kid and the 2018 Prelim Final broke it again as an adult.
Kick away Lions!

On one hand I don’t want Brisbane gaining too much percentage and putting third position on the ladder out of our reach. 

On the other hand, this is definitely a death ride I can get behind. The Eagles suck and it would be great for them to go a step beyond 186 as the ****test club in the land.

Are you kidding? We'll be lucky to make the 8 especially now that Oliver is out of action long term.

Lions will almost certainly use this game  to manage a few players either omitted or rested for long spells on the bench.

Lions win by any margin except 30 goals. Eagles would have to stand around like witches hats for that to happen.

All I needed to read on a Friday night. I can still remember being at Waverly for that Fitzroy drubbing. Sweet dreams ladies.

Why stop at 190 points?

Becoming the first team to be beaten by the double ton would put it even further in clear air beyond the 186.

Also having two losses of that magnitude in the same season and a woeful % would surely see them seen as the worst side in an individual season in the past 20 years.  There are a bunch of sides like Carlton and Essendon who have had less sucess than us this century now, so the Eagles being seen as lowly as this would be great.

Would you take it if Joe Daniher kicked 19?

10 minutes in and only 1 goal from Brisbane.

Oh well better luck next time.

The Eagles thin veneer of effort has cracked. Here's hoping the lions can run the table now and give us a 200-0 result.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
