Top 5 home and away losses under Goodwin

[Pates 9,672]

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.

@Better days ahead, BTW, I called you a bunch of loosers, because the title and objectives of this thread is such a loosing attitude.

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.
