Top 5 home and away losses under Goodwin


BDA

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

What did you aim to achieve?

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.

If F__king up was a Science then Goodwin would be in line for the Nobel Prize.

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
