When was the last time you watched Melbourne lose?

I can't remember which games I've been to, let alone those we lost. 😄

GWS 2021.

2015 vs. Essendon. We were expected to win as the Hird experiment has clearly gone awry by this point.

In hindsight, games like this are a good reminder that winning premierships aren’t all just about blood, guts, sweat, tears and love of the jumper. You do need skilled players and our ability to execute the basics was embarrassing on this day.

Round 1, 2019. A rancid loss at the MCG against Port.

Tom Sparrow's debut was the only highlight of that day. And it was sunny.

The only game my son and I got to attend last year, the Queen’s Birthday game against the Pies  at the SCG. Thankfully there are no games up this way in 2022, so we can’t put the mockers on the Dees by attending.

GWS 2021 lacklustre game where we kicked 7.13 and played like we were totally out of gas we must have been loading for the finals.!!

Live

it was 2016 against Essendrug when their Reserve side beat us

It was a disgusting experience

Gee, really have to wind the clock back here!

After going through the fixtures, I think mine is round 22, 2019 (was only able to attend two games last year, both wins) where we played Sydney on a Friday night at the G. After kicking three goals in the first quarter, we went goalless for the next two before finishing on 5.12.42, marginally behind Sydney's 15.5.95.

Queen's Birthday 2019. Was a great day out with my youngest daughter. Only member of the next generation of the Tarax's to commit to the Demons. Collingwood had a pretty decent team, but it really was Buckley's by the season end. Next outing with my daughter Perth 2021, was so much better. Working on oldest grandaughter currently a skippy. Its a slow burn.

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”. 
 

It's a cruel irony that it played out that way though.

Home and away - GWS rd 16 2021

Pre season - Carlton 2022.

Collingwood last year at the SCG - Buckley's last Hoorah

Kept expecting us to hit another gear but it never happened 

Sobering every time I think about it

A week later I went to a Sportsman’s  Night with David Schwarz and he was categoric that Melbourne would win the flag.

Round 21 2019 vs Collingwood.

Next one will be this weekend vs Saints simply because this thread exists.

Don't want to remember.

In 1965 we started with 8 straight victories then lost big to sainters on QB at the G. We never recovered until 2021. Sadly I was there. We were an old team playing on muscle memory and we had to fall.

Will not happen again. We are a young robust and highly skillful team still on the rise.

GO GOODY GO DEES

GWS loss last season and the pre season game against the Blues!

Hoping we never lose again!

Round 9, 2019 when the umpires robbed us at Optus Oval in the last quarter against WC. Since then Optus has been pure joy attending.

[layzie 33,294]

Yeah the GWS game for me too. We were off, still could have pinched it but wasted chances. Hunty got pinged three times for ball in the last. I think after this game was where we decided on the perfect mix for our forward line as that day we were pretty light on in targets and just bombing to Fritsch and T-mac all the time. We got Benny in and I thought his presence alone gave backlines something to think about.

Carlton Pre-season 2022.  The vibes weren't right that night, that's for sure.

Saw so many it was hard to know but I'm pretty sure the last loss live was a trip to Sydney last year.

We made a special effort as lockdowns etc had made it impossible and being in the border bubble we had the chance to attend a live game in what was developing as a successful season.

Had a hard time as the game unfolded, and the mood was pretty Flat among the players and the crowd. The Buckley retirement factor lifted the Pies and their supporters and I tried to inject some robust and vigorous cheering to inspire the players.

Collingwood cheer squad moved a contingent behind us to overwhelm our noise and they succeeded. After the game completed a group of Pies supporters summoned me in a menacing fashion and I approached them with trepidation but they were effusive in their praise for my enthusiasm and remarked that it was the first game they attended in Sydney that reminded them of supporters enthusiasm in Victoria.

I left them in their joy, suffering in yet another defeat and the portent of another season turning sour.

I commented as their song round out at the ground that I would rather be sitting on top of the ladder than losing a coach.The premiership was not a cakewalk for them I said but I did not predict our unrivalled march to premiership.

i still feel denied as wasn't able to attend the victory in Perth and have been overwhelmed with the continuing  march of success at matches this year. I am getting used to singing the song again and hope that Bowey continues his undefeated status until mid season next year. I want myself and every supporter to be able to cheer and sing the song at the Grand Final. I want to inspire the team until then by attending and cheering.

Ive had enough losing I'm enjoying this success.

Collingwood at the SCG.

I'd been to the Brisbane game in 'westish' Sydney the week before and there was a strange difference in the feeling.

Against Brisbane we were down three goals at half time but I didn't really have any alarm bells going off. I felt like the system was going alright and we'd be able to get the game back on our terms. I also recall that was the strangest crowd I'd ever been in - 1/4 capacity rule, but that 1/4 was packed seat-to-seat in 1/4 of the stadium. Seemed complete madness.

But against Collingwood the feeling was that we were genuinely failing when moving it forward. The old-fashioned breaking down across half forward. Sam Weideman had a dog of a day and I was up close to see it, which was upsetting because I was and still am on the 'Sam can go alright' wagon. But aside from a brief glimmer in the third - and despite that fact that we almost levelled the scores - we never really looked like we were about to dominate the game.

Live; the QB at the SCG.

TV; the Bulldogs game in Rd19 last year.

Surreal.

Also, the SCG is a concrete mess that needs demolishing. They must hate Bill O’Reilly up there because that is the ****test stand I have sat in.
