Not counting on TV, of course, but I haven't watched Melbourne lose since August 2019.  Crazy AF.

(I missed the GWS game last year but I generally go to 80% of the games played in Melbourne whenever there isn't a Pandemic)

gw$ game last year

Same. Just a cold, crappy day and the boys just looked flat throughout.

 

As strange as it sounds I miss getting emotional at footy games... it's kinda boring just winning. Comfortably. 

Dont get me wrong - I hate losing more than anything else. I miss the CONTEST at present. 

Yes the Hawks took it up to us - but we weren't close to full strength and it never felt in danger despite them closing late. 

Can't wait for the saints, Sydney, Brisbane and freo games to hopefully witness a contest

Same. We left that game and I remember saying “well at least if the grand final isn’t in Melbourne due to Covid we won’t miss out on seeing our team win”. 
 

 

I think I may hold the record here.

It was round 9 in 1998 and we lost to Essendon at the MCG after a stirring win the previous week at the same venue against Collingwood.  Lyon, Viney and Stynes were among those still playing for the Demons.

Haven't been to a game since for reasons many and varied.  Come at me.


The last game I saw Melbourne lose in person was Perth 2018.

I gave 2019 up for dead almost immediately, then COVID happened, and after that we came good.

Yep, a bad day all round. We were in a bit of a form slump at that stage.

August 22nd 2020 at Metricon vs Dogs….

Agree and it's not just the players it's the supporters. Last week the Tigers supporters were so subdued, cheering the goals, whinging at the umps of course but not much more - seems they know they're pushing it uphill to beat us so come in with a defeated mindset. Pretty boring.


Last game was the horrible GWS match in 2021 at the MCG where we should of selected Ben Brown to play but we didn't.

 

I have seen Melbourne lose far too much over the years. It is never a fun feeling on the long train ride home.

 

As strange as it is...we need to get used to winning now!

 

After 57 years of pain (as Max Gawn said) we deserve a bit of joy and happiness.

 

Long may this new successful era of the Melbourne Football Club continue!

Not since Collingwood on Queens birthday 2021.  Although I watch pretty much every game, for some weird reasons, I didn't watch the games against GWS and the Dogs in the second half of 2021.

It's kind of unbelievable that I haven't watched us actually loose in nearly a year!! 😯😯.

I mentally actually thought we'd lost against Geelong at 3/4 time of the last home and away last year, but so guess that just wasn't to be 😥😥🤣🤣🤣.

 

Not like I'm going to complain about that though.

When your captain kicks a captain's goal after the siren to win the minor premiership you are having a good year


I would like to say in 2006 at Carrara vs the Adelaide Crows, when we were ripped off when an Aaron Davey gem of a goal was called a point by mistake.

But unfortunately I have been to the Gabba a few times since.

2 from 2 at the MCG though!!!

I was one of the unfortunate’s to see the Adelaide Crows beat us by one point at the Adelaide Oval last year. They thought they had won the premiership beating us. At least I had the last laugh.

Haven’t had the opportunity to watch a game in person, I will get to Melbourne eventually, but the last loss I watched on TV was Collingwood last year. Was working during the GWS and Bulldogs games and never bothered to watch the replays.

That's really holding a grudge.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
