Geelong - (2007-2011) Greatest ever winning record of 100 games

[Big Nasty]

After defeating Sydney tonight. Geelong (2007-2011) has the greatest ever winning record of 100 consecutive games(including finals) in football history. Better than Collingwood of the 20's, and Hawthorn of the 80's.

Congratulations

You won't hear much besides sarcastic remarks, but that's an amazing feat. I, like most, thought the Cats would slide this year. I don't think you can beat the Pies but there's no reason you can't make top 4 ... again.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Proof they are/have been one of the greatest combinations of all time. Thompson leaving may even be a blessing.

 

[Topper Harley]

You'll get plenty of people down playing this record, but the truth is, it's an amazing achievement, and something I'm very proud of our team for.

 

[questionable]

check out 9 and 10 on the list

9. Brisbane 75/24/1 rd5 2001 - rd3 2005
10. Port Adelaide 75/25/0 rd22 2000 - GF 2004

almost identical records and only a few rounds apart in time period covered

This thread is not about how the current Collingwood team is the best team ever to play football and guaranteed to win in 2011 and is therefore banned from the main board.

 

[Clay Davis]

I feel privileged having seen them.

 

[Pessimistic]

Some of those early teams only used to drop games to clean up at the bookies (allegedly)

Congrats

Would be interesting to find out which Geelong player has played in the most of the 85 wins in those 100 games.

Ummm, you might want to either re-read the stats, or re-word your posting. It is the best ever record FROM 100 consecutive games... you ain't won a 100 in a row!

Unfortunately Collingwood still hold the lead on the 200 & 300 game spots.... with arrogance so deeply rooted I shudder in mentioning that

 

[Selective Retention]

My guess would be enright, he has only missed like 2 games in the last 5 years.

[The Passenger]

one of the best posters on this place... that's gotta be a first

It'd be Enright. Only missed two games since the start of 2007, going by AFL Tables. Can't think of anyone in the side since the start of the run who even comes close to that kind of durability.

Congrats to Geelong, in this era of equalization, magical.

As for this quoted post, I'm pretty sure that Port and Bris went 6-6 head to head over this time, which leaves them with 69-18/19 records.

Which would have moved them up a fair bit on that list based on winning %.

Still not as good a team as Geelong tho.

 

[Clay Davis]

Enright is quite possibly their best or most important player.

 

[beez]

Very impressive effort, it's definitely been a pleasure watching them over the last 4 years.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Enright is quite possibly their best or most important player.

His game against Freo in Round 2 was just about the best game I've ever seen him play. He was phenomenal.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Congratulations to Collingwood on holding the 200 and 300 game record.........and well done Cats.

 

[Clay Davis]

Yeah, gave me the shits. Never gave him as much recognition as I should until then. Knew he was good if not great, but he absolutely destroyed us.

 

[mdc]

I feel privileged having seen them.

Ditto. Incredible achievement.

They haven't been particularly blessed with injuries either, considering how often Chapman or Ottens or Scarlett missed, and Egan obviously retired for good.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Hawthorn 5 premierships

Collingwood 4 premierships

Geelong 2 premierships


I think the record highlights missed opportunity more than anything else.

Should have probably won 08 but then we were probably lucky to pinch 09. Then the Pies were miles too strong last year and finished on top of the ladder. I think 2 thus far is about right and not a bad return given the way the draft now works.

Never be beaten.. What a record.
