Worst Performance in AFL history.

[Jibroni]

Melbourne have had a few shockers over the years, some worse than todays effort.

Having said that if West Coast get a Top 4 side on a good day it could give it a nudge.

 

[Xtreme]

At least those losses were to good sides

Hawthorn are deadset dog poo

Hey now!!

Collingwood in 2 weeks

If we can run in waves untouched from one end to the other like we did today, I fear what Collingwood will do to them

 

[The 747]

Freo haven't seemed to have had issues regarding longevity with 2 350+ players

Fair point.

 

[EagleMan87]

Yes. You should get one after we get ours. So Eagles pick 1 and 3 North pick 2 and 4. Then Hawks get pick 5 and go from there.

 

[Cainozz]

We have 3 wins from our past 36 games. We're bordering GWS levels of 2012/2013.

 

[Belnakor]

Port in the 07 granny
Melbourne @ Geelong 186 point loss

Honestly port in the 07 grand final isn’t even in the top 5 worst grand final performances. Geelong finished the year with a percentage of 150 and won their first final by 100 as well. Don’t know what people were expecting.

GWS without the draft picks

Yes there's no coming back from this

Burn your jumper, microwave your membership, and change your dog's name from Benny to Daicos

are u actually being fr, or messing with me

 

[Corn Cobbers]

are u actually being fr, or messing with me

Lol

Let's get real here, that's not even in the worst 100 losses this century

Injury list is ridiculous, what did everyone expect?

so i guess u were messing with me

 

[I Dont Care]

Port circa 2011-12 had a few quite insipid performances

but fr, these thrashings are making me question what team i should go for, but i guess i might have to stay loyal

 

[joy division]

There’s a big difference between being second last in Rd.4 and in Rd.10. This is the worst lost (statistically) in AFL history.

Four premierships in 37 years is well above the average so you were due for some down years.

well true, but this is a historically bad team. Maybe it's just I'm not used to losing lol

 

[NetworkNerd]

Can't really count 1979 pies. Prelim the previous year. Just had a slow start. Also round 4 is too early and isn't an indication of the bottom side.. this year is a perfect example with the cats at the bottom after Rd 3

 

[Corn Cobbers]

well true, but this is a historically bad team. Maybe it's just I'm not used to losing lol

It is historically bad. There's too much salary cap space tied up in perennially injured players. Some of those guys need to man up and take an early retirement.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Melbourne v Essendon was a shocker in early 2013. Saturday night TV, 2-3rd game for the new boss Neeld, lose by 148 points

Indeed, Melbourne could make a whole list by itself. Losing to Sydney in 1993 was a shocker, losing to record margins against Geelong(2000's) and Fitzroy(1978), and getting beaten by GWS/GCS very badly in 2013/14. I am sure Melbourne fans could easily expand on this.

 

[Chaisa]

There's some genuine shockers from Melbourne 2011-13, Port 2011/12, Brisbane 2016, Carlton over the last 20 years for example; but getting thrashed by a side that had hitherto only won one game this year in Rd 10 is something special.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Couldn't be far off.

I've said a few times, I have no idea how Simpson still has a job.

It's escaped a lot of people in the east because there's not much coverage of them. They're totally uncompetitive. Worse than North.

Um no coach would be able to do much with a team with that many injuries. Simmo may not be the right coach for them right now but this situation would be very difficult for any coach.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The first half of the 2020 season was very grim for us. If quarters were full-length, we would've copped a few 100-point beltings, including from North who only finished ahead of us on %.

 

[BG32]

That Melbourne massive loss to Geelong was last vs first. Today it was last vs second last, just some perspective

 

[Obeanie1]

I'm going to state that I consider the AFL to have become a fully professional organisation for teams in 2000.

The Eagles have just lost to a team that was 18th on the ladder with a % of 60 by 116 points. I have seen the lows of Carlton, Essendon, GWS, GC, Freo, Richmond and even teams like Melbourne go the deliberate tank.

There was no tanking by WCE today which is all the more damning. I am trying to reconcile this. This in my mind is the single worst performance put in by a team in AFL history by West Coast.

How do you consider Ports GF loss to Geelong?

Swans GF loss to the Cats?

Both absolute floggings on the biggest stage and a total shock.

Was anyone shocked by today's result? Really.

Yes it was bad.

Not acceptable etc.

But it wasn't a surprise was it?

People getting overly emotional here.

 

[joe444]

Harsh topic. What, in the end, do performances like these express beyond a very unhappy player group?

My beloved Cats ending Bailey's career comes to mind. 186 points.

Sometimes it's easier to live in the cushioned atmosphere of Perth, methinks. My sense of the place is that they're always a bit "cushioned". So when things get tough, they fall apart.

They won the flag in 2018; no sympathy here.
