If the metric is "how many games do you need to win to get at least one premiership?" then we are the most efficient!

Geelong on top of that table. Well, what a coincidence. Lego have just released the latest in their AFL club range.

Those stats for MFC are the harsh reality of 2007-2017, 2019-2020 and so far in 2025. We really do have to fight our way back to relevance, we have had so little of it.

The only table that matters really at the end of the day is flags won since 2000, you can be really good H &A like Bombers 01, Port 01-03, us 22/23, Sydney 14, 24,Freo 15, Saints 09/10, Pies 11 , 19 for no return or be a team winning not many H & A but actually building but the table is

Hawks 4

Lions 4

Cats 4

Tigers 3

Swans 2

Eagles 2

Pies 2

Dee’s 1

Port 1

Dogs 1

Bombers 1

Hahahaha that is absolute GOLD

For the benefit of Essendon fans I think the table should be cut to just the last 20 years, instead of being tweaked just to include their 2000 premiership. So just looking at H&A tallies we would be;

Deleting 21 wins for year 2000, then 17, 12, 13 and 12 to through to 2004. We can restart the tally from 2005.

Making it 274 - 75 = 199, with zero premierships and zero finals wins.

From 2005 on, Essendon have only seven more H&A wins than us, despite us going through realistically the darkest period of any still-living club.

Plus, we have won six finals including a premiership.

It was obvious that the original author of the chart had skewed it to make Essendon look better, or relevant, so I just had to burn it.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
