You wouldn't think Melbourne will keep their run going. Quarter results v Adelaide this weekend:
Lxxx - 14 - =9th most consecutive quarters even won
WLxx - 15 - =7th most consecutive quarters even won
WWLx - 16 - =3rd most consecutive quarters even won
WWWL - 17 - =2nd most consecutive quarters even won
WWWW - 18 - 2nd most consecutive quarters even won
 
Melbourne's 109-point demolition of Carlton on Sunday was the first time since 2004, when the Demons trounced the Blues by 105-points, that Melbourne had won by 100 points or more.

And it was the first time since Round 5 1996 that there was a match decided by 109 points. To give some perspective on how long ago this was, the 1996 match was a victory by the Brisbane Bears over Fitzroy on the same day as the Port Arthur massacre.
 
Speaking of Melbourne and high scores, 3 of their 4 highest ever scores were achieved in just a few months of the 1991 season (Rounds 2 to 15).

The most remarkable aspect of this is that the week before this period of record high scores commenced, in Round 1 of 1991 they scored just 2.8 (20) against West Coast, which is still their lowest ever score against the Eagles and the lowest ever score West Coast has conceded in a match!

Only 1 team has been in the top-8 every round this season.

In 2017, 4 teams stayed in the top-8 all year.
In 2016, 5 teams stayed in the top-8 all year.

Update!

After 9 rounds, no team has been in the Top-8 all season.

This is the soonest this has occurred since the Top-8 system was introduced.

1997 - it took 16 rounds.
1994 - it took 19 rounds.
All other years, at least one team stayed in the Top-8 all year.

Bulldogs have scored 1.11 in the last halves of footy over the past two weeks.
 
It’s an illustration of the effect of Docklands on football – much more quantifiable than other effects I have come to believe the change to a closed roof stadium has had – that fewer than half of the (currently) twenty-one cases of winning thirteen or more quarters in a row occurred before Docklands.
More than that, there were only two cases before the 1976 climatic “magic gate” shifted the winter rain belt dramatically poleward, and not a single one between 1913 and 1981. Apart from the dreadful Fitzroy sides of the 1960s, there was no case of a team losing thirteen consecutive quarters either between 1914 and the first “magic gate” of 1976.

Geelong's 21-quarter winning streak in 2010 was almost 20 or 30 consecutive quarters!

2010, R11, Q1: Brad Ebert kicks a behind at 31m 23s and the quarter went 31m 32s.
If instead he scored a goal, Geelong’s streak would have stopped at 20 quarters.

2010, R11, Q2: Brad Ebert kicks a goal at 30m 2s and the quarter went 31m 15s.
If instead he scored a behind, Geelong’s streak would have extended to 30 quarters!

And from memory it wasn't technically a goal. I think it was touched but (pre-score review) wasn't called correctly. The commentators mentioned it at the time as it ended the quarter win streak.
 
Possible we get the biggest ever Dreamtime (>85,656), Saturday (>88,395) and Queen's Birthday* (>78,773) crowds next month.

*since 2001 when Melbourne v Collingwood has become an annual fixture.

Matthews - R15, 1985: Hawthorn v Sydney (home win at Princes Park)

Buddy is on 885 goals.
 
Was a bit surprised to see that Richmond's biggest win over Essendon was just 74 points....once in 1970 and also 1983 which was a kooky result given the Tigers had a terrible season in '83 and Essendon finished 15-7 and finally won an EF after five losing goes before that.

I know Geelong's biggest win over Carlton is just 78 points in 2007, by far their narrowest highest winning margin against any of the pre 2011 sides bar University. But would Richmond's 74 points be the lowest biggest win of all the teams that existed from 1925? To put it another way, do any of the clubs that were in the league from 1925 have a lower maximum margin against any of their fellow 12 sides (including Fitzroy)?

Yeah, especially as it was at Windy Hill and in the wet (as these highlights show)
