Proud coach Paul Roos has urged Melbourne to kick on in 2017, having showed their immense potential in an AFL boilover against Hawthorn.The Demons on Saturday celebrated their first victory over the Hawks since round eight of the 2006 season, beating the flag favourites by 29 points.It is comfortably their greatest performance under Roos, who has achieved so much since joining the club in 2013.The Demons havent contested a final since 2006 but long-suffering fans have every reason to hope for a return next year to September action.Theyre the wins that you can build special things off, Roos said.Clearly, its not going to happen this year because were not going to play finals.Hopefully, they remember the feeling of walking off the MCG, having beaten a very, very good team.Im so proud ... its a great day for the footy club and for a group of young players that are hopefully going to build something special together.Roos, set to coach the final three games of the season before handing the reins over to Simon Goodwin, had a simple message for his players after the victory.That has to drive the players in the next three weeks, he said.But more importantly in the off-season and going into next year ... that it drives them when they get back in November.We know we can put the effort in. If we do, its pretty exciting and we get reward ... the penny is starting to drop.Roos was full of praise for his entire team, especially leaders Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Nathan Jones, Tom McDonald and Bernie Vince.We played a four-quarter game, he said.The last 15 minutes was great footy and probably the best footy weve played all year, and you have to do that to beat outstanding opposition.

The Melbourne Cup is the race that stops a nation and for an event that has run for over 150 years there are plenty of statistics that you should know before we kick off 2016s Melbourne Cup Day.* First run in 1861 under the banner of the Victorian Turf Club and won by the Etienne de Mestre-trained Archer who beat the favourite Mormon by six lengths. The prize was 1420 pounds and the trophy a gold watch.* Archer came back the following year to beat Mormon, this time by eight lengths, a record margin that still stands (it was equalled in 1968 by Rain Lover).* De Mestre would go on to train three other winners of the Melbourne Cup - Tim Whiffler (1867), Chester (1877) and Calamia (1878).* Trainer Bart Cummings claimed the first of his 12 Melbourne Cups in 1965 with Light Fingers. The following year stablemate Galilee was the only horse to prevent Light Fingers making it back-to-back Cups and in 1967 Red Handed gave Cummings his third straight victory.* Cummings other winners were Think Big (1974, 1975), Gold And Black (1977), Hyperno (1979), Kingston Rule (1990), Lets Elope (1991), Saintly (1996), Rogan Josh (1999) and Viewed (2008).* Other trainers to have multiple Cup wins include: 5 - Lee Freedman: Tawrrific (1989), Subzero (1992), Doriemus (1995), Makybe Diva (2004, 2005); 4 - John Tait: The Barb (1866), Glencoe (1868), The Pearl (1871), The Quack (1872); Richard Bradfield: Patron (1894), The Victory (1902), Night Watch (1918), Backwood (1924); James Scobie: Clean Sweep (1900), King Ingoda (1922), Bitalli (1923), Trivalve (1927); W S Hinkenbothem: Mentor (1888), Carbine (1890), Newhaven (1896), Blue Spec (1905).* In 1972 the race was altered to the metric distance of 3200m, 18.7 metres or 61.5 feet short of two miles.* Kingston Rule holds the metric race record of 3:16.30.* 1985 marked the dawn of a new era for the Cup with prizemoney raised to $1 million.
