When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?

Was listening to Brayshaw and Brownless on the radio this arvo.
Brayshaw declaring he's "happy the best 2 teams are in the GF."
"Well apart from Melbourne who I dunno what happened but, sheet the bed."

The boys are tarnishing their legacy big time.
From GF heros to chokers.

Sadly, the players have to take responsibility for the choking. Move on and have a big Pre-Season for 2024.

Fingers crossed we can break the Brownlow Medal drought of 23-24 years now sometime soon.

    They're the only two premierships decided without a grand final. They were decided with a round robin (among some other factors), so I wouldn't even say they were easy flags.

    Thanks Wheelo.

    From a premiership to worst last quarter loss of all time in just a few years. Sadly it looks like we're back to making embarrassing records again!

    Not breaking. Back to making.

    My dad quotes the Essendon game in 92 as the day he mentally checked out. I don't think he's attended a game since the 90s

    At 3/4 time I told my son about that game. Now he has his own trauma that will haunt him for the rest of his life as a Melbourne supporter just like I do. This club really brings families together 😂

    ...however, tempering the awfulness of this new record tonight, it's sort of arbitrary, established between the arbitrary markers, within the whole game, of 3/4 time and full time.

    A Reddit poster notes (subject to checking, someone?) that the 'biggest “turnaround” in shortest time might be Sydney vs St Kilda, Rd 7 1994. Saints were down by 41 points with only 9 minutes left on the clock in the final quarter and came out 1 point winners'. The Saints took much longer to melt us this time... We may have the 'biggest' full-final-quarter meltdown but not the 'worst' final-quarter meltdown.

    That's as nice as I'm prepared to be tonight.

    Edited by Timothy Reddan-A'Blew
    Just checked: Margin was 42 points at 9.03 to go before Saints kicked a behind. Indeed, the margin had been 48 points earlier in the quarter. So, I think this 'record' tonight at least deserves an asterisk.

    I've got younger kids and I'm now seriously considering just letting them follow their mother's side.

    I don't want them to subject them to this.

    Biggest win (83 pts) before sacking a coach - another record?

    Yep, why not? The cupboard was thinning out anyway.

    I suspect this one - surely true - is a keeper, too.

    Only if 83 is added, too.

    Not even in the top three!

    94 points - Alby Pannam (Richmond) in 1955

    88 points - Ron Alexander (WCE) in 1988

    85 points - Ken Judge (Hawthorn) in 1985

    I think those 3 might be all end-of-season conclusions to their gigs, and was Judge a resignation rather than a sacking?

    A mid-season sacking after a thumping win is probably in a category of its own.

    46 just doesn't have the same oomph. I don't know why, but 186 is just a perfect number to be shorthand for misery.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
