We've equaled our best run of wins at the 'G. We also won 11 straight from R11, 1974 to R10, 1975.

If we beat Collingwood then it'll be our best ever winning streak at the M.C.G.

Melbourne won 17 straight at the 'G in their 50s heyday: R2, 1954 to R13, 1956.

The Dees also went 18 games undefeated (11 wins + a draw + 6 wins) from 1959 to 1960.

In modern times, Essendon won 13 straight at the 'G: R2, 2000 to R1, 2001.

Breaking Melbourne's record would be sweet  :shh but another 5 matches. I'm sure were bound to have a loss sooner or later
