When was the last time you watched Melbourne lose?

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)

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
