Top 5 home and away losses under Goodwin

BDA
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I had the misfortune of only being in Australia for the Richmond ANZAC eve loss and the following Hawthorn loss in 2018. Far and away our worst H&A losses for the the year. I can’t tell you the last actual win I have seen, I was in Melbourne to see the pre-season win against Adelaide this year. 

On that Hawthorn loss in 2018, I believe (I could be wrong) that the club had a bout of gastro go through the playing group. They killed it in the 1st quarter but were completely bereft of energy after that. 

I’m hoping to be around in Australia next year for the season, watch us return to a bottom 4, 5 wins or less team again. ☹️

    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.

    I missed the 2004 - 2007 seasons entirely. Reading about our wild 2006 in week-old newspapers was still a little bit exciting. Gained access again in 2008. Perfect timing.

    I'd go one further. What about our round 22 win vs Brisbane in 2017. 40 points up during the 4th qtr, took the foot off and allowed them to get within a kick before kicking the sealer. We then consequently lose to Collingwood and miss the 8 by .49%

    My G.d you've missed the No 1 

    that's the 2018 Prelim Final.

    Please don't  say you don't count it just like the Coach  and no review ??

    Home and away losses. I agree the prelim is the worst defeat overall but it did come on the back of 2 phenomenal finals at the 'G

    That in itself is part of our problem Consistent effort.

    Admittedly we won 4 games in a row vs top opposition viz

    Eagles away 

    Giants home 

    Cats elimination home

    Hawks Semi home

    but our last few games from Saints  loss was an inexcusable fade out to Cats st KP by 3 points

    AND another embarrassing loss to Swans as our "system" fails to shine vs this Club ( as it had for 15 years!

    About 2005 we were equal to bout 90 wins each and the last 25 meetings has netted about 3/4 wins mostly because the Swans  play a Systematic and honest brand of footy. 

    We vary and get tied up on their terms and have no Plan B to counteract.

    Itd hurting us like we couldn't play Hawks for a long time.

    We need to have a An AAnd a variation to play against some teams to give us an equal chance of victory.

    I hate Trump with a passion, but one of his commonly used phrases sums up this thread "What a bunch of LOOoooSers".

    Go on look to the past and wither in misery.

    To me yes Thursday was disappointing, but far from totally disastrous.  I don't think we needed to win 5 from 5 to make finals.  Actually thought we were a 40/60 against the Saints and we got up, so we were actually ahead of the game somewhat.  It now just means we need to win 2, most probably 3 of our last 4 to make finals.

    In my mind, GWS is the 8 point, must win game.  Further Sydney actually beat GWS a few weeks back, so should they just roll out the white flag as well?

    While I'm annoyed about loosing to Sydney, it's not our season has hung off, so get over it.

    I’m happy to hear some constructive comments but labelling people losers is just juvenile.

    More juvenile than trying to rank the losses we have had under a particular coach.

    Sorry, I was mistaken that this was actually a constructive thread.

    How's this for a constructive comment then - STOP CRYING OVER SPILT MILK.

    It's classic Melbourne to start a thread highlighting our recent losses under Goodwin.

    What did you aim to achieve?

    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.

    Ah yes I forgot we were focusing on the Goodwin era.

    Round 23, 2017 surely takes the cake.

    What’s wrong with ranking losses? Where is the policy that says talking about losses is taboo? You’re free to give your opinion and I’m free to give mine.  Keep the name calling to yourself and in return I’ll keep it civil.

    The point was to start a discussion. Have a debate, pass the time. That’s usually the point of fan forums. Unfortunately you get people who take on the role of moral arbiter or enforcer, who believe they know better than everyone else and try to get people to conform. People like you who talk about some “Melbourne Way”. All due respect Wiseblood, I don't have to explain to you or anyone why i make a comment. If you don’t like the thread don’t comment.

    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.

    Best thing ive read on Demonland for a long time - thank you

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
