There’s a great selection to choose from I know but that Sydney loss has to rank right up there with the worst of them. Sydney, a bottom 4 side playing only for pride, were merely competent playing the conditions while we could have taken a big step towards finals but completely blew it.

Collingwood in 2017 tops the list for mine given what was at stake. No. 2 is the Hawthorn loss in Rd4 2018 which was a real shocker and harbinger of things to come as it turned out. Port rd1 2019 was very deflating because my hopes were so high coming into the season so its no. 3. I reckon that Sydney loss is no.4 because it probably ends our finals hopes. I don’t have a stand out no.5. Perhaps the 2019 loss v Geelong for pure comical value where we had more I50’s and still managed to lose by 80 points.

 

Geelong at Geelong in 2018.

Sydney last thursday ( pathetic effort )

Geelong round 1 in 2018

Port in Adelaide in the middle of 2018 when we were robbed blind by ludicrous umpiring.

Why stop at five?

1. Round 23, 2017 vs Collingwood for obvious reasons

2. Round 2, 2019 vs Geelong - confirmation of everything I was worried about after the pre-season

3. Round 21, 2018 vs Sydney - had finals in our grasp and botched it. Fortunately wiped out by heroics the next week

4. Round 15, 2018 vs St Kilda - caving against a lowly team when there were serious finals implications

5. Round 4, 2018 vs Hawthorn - mitigated somewhat by belting a heap of sides a few weeks later

6. Round 19, 2017 vs North when we had a roaring wind in the last quarter and couldn't overturn a six point deficit.

7. Round 9, 2020 vs Port

8. Round 15, 2020 vs Sydney

9. Round 22, 2019 vs Sydney - a stench of death classic

10. Round 4, 2017 vs Freo - the day Cam McCarthy gave us the full Kingsley


Geez, we are all feeling pretty low at this point in time, and you start this thread!

Re Cam McCarthy - we have a great history of turning Spuds into Pommes Dauphinois

Yes, its stuff like this that has made the Goodwin reign a failure.  Constantly throwing away golden opportunites when any other team would take them.

 

Bugger you guys.  

Top five wins:

Elimination Final over Geelong.  Loved every minute.

Semi Final over the Hawks.  Just as sweet.

Rd 22 vs the Eagles in Perth.  Securing finals.

2017 Queens Birthday win against the Pies.  Watts kicks the sealer.

2017 win over the Eagles.  Tom Mac kicks the sealer.

Didn't the 2 cats games get decided by a kick? Not sure. Disappointing, but not disastrous given the cats aren't a poor side.

Or is this thread about the top 5 losses, as in the 'best' 5 losses?

No love for Round 22, 2016?

We'd just won three straight to get to 10-10, including our drought breaking win over Hawthorn and another drought breaking win over Port Adelaide, in Adelaide.

We had Carlton at the G with finals still on the table if we won the last two. Carlton was on a 9-game losing streak.

Sunday afternoon, 40,000+ at the G.

We might not have beaten Geelong, in Geelong, in the final round to make finals, but we should have given ourselves the chance.

Beat me to it Wiseblood.

As the OP spoke of only H&A games I had (and this is subjective based on emotional highs at the time, in chronological order):

2017 Rnd 1 vs. St Kilda. The first round always has added emotional weight. We came out with an attacking and exciting brand. 

2017 vs Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval. An unexpected win against the odds with bonus comeback and everyone contributing. 

2018 vs Adelaide @ Alice Springs. We had beaten up on some lowly teams prior. Came out here and looked truly sublime. 

2018 vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium. Holding our nerve to secure finals. A win which defied our psychological profiling. 

2020 vs Collingwood. Evident proximity bias plus. But they genuinely put the heat on us and we responded. A pleasing win.

That was under Roos. Who we farewelled a week later with a 20 goal loss. Classic stuff.

I do rate this highly as a disappointing defeat though. I ended the afternoon by going the full Richmond on the Gold Coast with a chair in the Ponsford Stand.

I reckon we've had more memorable wins than losses in the same time. Usually because they drive your expectations down before pulling off a surprise.

The losses have bigger consequences though. They really rip in deep

I've been overseas since 2012 and that was the first live game I had seen since leaving as I always visit in summer. Still the only live game I've seen us play in 8 years...?

You poor barstard. Maybe only 15 or so games now (covering four states) but the last time I recall seeing us win live was in 1992. Yay Darren Bennett.

I had 3 years overseas and came back to this for my first game.

I thought Reiwoldt had a lucky game

I thought Brad Miller was the new prototype forward.... heh heh heh.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
