He was probably Essendon's best player in the second-half of 2013. Stood up at a time when many others buckled. Says a lot about his character.

Ted Richards Nick Davis Rhyce Shaw To name a few. Yes, why would we want a coach to sidestep timely recruiting and scouting processes and instead attract a player they already know about. SHOCKING!

In 1996, we lost to Collingwood by 94 points in Round 2, and then 8 weeks later in Round 10 we beat them by 38.

I'm not counting a Round 1 win as 2 in a row. It needs to be within the same season. Let's not get selective and desperate. We all know consistent foitball over a season is key.

Three records up to be toppled this weekend: Beat Fremantle - Last win: Round 13, 2011 (6-game losing streak) Beat a Ross Lyon-coached team - Last win: Never (12-game losing streak) Win in Perth - Last win: Round 1, 2004 (12-game losing streak) He has been in the league for nine seasons and has never lost a game to Melbourne. So yes. We need to beat a Ross Lyon-coached team, because, evidently, Lyon-coached teams tend to be the hardest to beat.

Updated.

Updated.

Doubt he'll play. Don't worry some VFL [censored] will come in for him and kick 7.0.

I put St Kilda instead of Brisbane

Crossed off Brisbane.

Yet again we have a chance to knock off two records against the Saints this week. 2 in a row. Beat the Saints. Pity we couldn't get over the line a month ago. Must win this week.

Don't think it'll happen. Seems too level-headed and too much of a professional to come to Melbourne after leaving that debacle that is the GC Suns. Probably go to the Pies, Cats or Hawks. Maybe Bulldogs.

Slowly but surely

Refreshed "Beat Collingwood" stat. If we can't knock out "Win at Etihad" and "Beat St. Kilda" this weekend, I might just give up on this club.

I found Hocko! I Googled "Darren 'Hocko' Hocking" and came across this article: http://newsmediaiframe.westcoastsentinel.com.au/iframepages/iframeArticle.aspx?id=2603780 Googled Hocko's Mechanical and found this image: https://www.google.com.au/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x2ab6a27bec94a1a3:0x40e613dc47889602!2m5!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://plus.google.com/104613257735164278000/photos?hl%3Den%26socfid%3Dweb:lu:kp:placepageimage%26socpid%3D1!5sHocko%E2%80%99s+Mechanical+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ei=neZsVYvsCNP28QWtlYGoAw&ved=0CGQQoiowCw That's him. Looks like he lives in SA now. Okay I'll stop being a stalker now.

He sits in the AFL Members. I remember the guy with the light-blue hoody. I have the "Demon Attack" season review video from 1994 and he's always in the replays. He was cheersquad leader until 2000 I think, or thereabouts. Then when our cheersquad moved to behind the goals he had a small group in the Olympic Stand for a few games, then they disappeared.

Updated "Win 2 games in a row". Added games lost: after today's loss, 0-16 in games after we've won.

And who can forget that second 90+ point belting in a row! The beginning of the end.

Richard Di Natale (news Greens leader) is a Richmond [censored].

Added "Win a final outside of Victoria". Really? I don't think it matters. We've had a few 5-goal bags.

Added "Beat Fremantle" & "Beat a Ross Lyon-coached team"

Titus O'Reily is definitely a Melbourne man.

Added Friday night, more so because we haven't played a Friday hight match for three years, and haven't won one for four.

Going to be a great player for a long time. Not sure he'll make that transition into greatness but he's the kind of player that will average 90-100 SC points his whole career. He's the second coming of Nathan Jones. Exactly what we needed. What a colossal [censored] up.
