That stung for a while.

Geelong in Geelong last year is the freshest in the memory and was extremely hard to cop. 

2015 against the saints. There was nothing on the line but it burned like hell, didn’t help that it was my birthday either. I even remember saying to someone that Howe’s goal with 30 odd seconds left gave us a ‘fighting chance’. They thought I was nuts and that I should be celebrating a premature win. When Joey kicked the winner I turned around and said “That’s why I say these things”.

Farmer after the siren in 2002 was torture. 

 

Special non-mention: Richmond in 2009 in the infamous tank game. I was not heartbroken, I wanted this loss and don’t pretend you didn’t either. Off topic but this is the worst after the siren winning goal in the history of the game, Jordan McMahon 35 metres out looked like he was kicking a sack of door knobs. 

He was closer to 50 out actually. 

Was such a bizarre ending,  the siren went well before he marked the ball too,  almost seemed rigged. 

Watching Dees fans jumping and screaming in delight when we lost was hard to believe. 

Karma hit is for years after that game. 

Oh, and I forgot to mention my late father said to me after the 87 game that Melbourne should have won and that was their best chance to win a Grand Final. THANKS DAD! (He was an avid Essendon fan). So, no comfort from your own family, but to be fair he didn't know what it was like to be a long suffering Melbourne supporter and member. RIP, dear Dad.
