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)

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
