Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Top 5 home and away losses under Goodwin


BDA

Recommended Posts

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.

The filth at the G last game in 2017

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

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.

My G.d you've missed the No 1 

that's the 2018 Prelim Final.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
