Your club's highest and lowest moments

[BigVic]

West Coast

Highest: 2018 Premiership: Written off by many including a prediction that the Eagles would finish last at the start of that year ending in one of the greatest premierships decided by less than a goal with the final kick of the game against Collingwood.

Lowest: 2007. From winning a flag in the previous year to a tumultous season. Off field Ben Cousins suspended and sacked at the end of the season, death of one of our favourite sons and Chris Judd leaving Carlton. The Eagles would miss the Finals from 2008-10 ending with our first and only wooden spoon in 2010 winning only 4 to 8 games.

Really? You made the GF and got done by one of the best teams of the modern era. Though the camp was embarrassing, it didn't feel (from an outside view) like a really low point.

For the Cats...

High - 2007: Breaking the drought
Low - 2006: After 2 promising seasons, we flushed this one down the toilet despite the obvious talent. Came as close to throwing away my membership as I ever had.

I agree with the lowest but surely the highest has to be the 1992 premiership. First non Victorian team to win the flag, behind two goals at half time and fought back from losing the year before.

I'd even put 2006 ahead of 2018. To lose by four points against Sydney in 2005 and then back it up to beat the same team by 1 point takes a lot of mental strength.

Our first MCG Grand Final. The first grand final we played in was at Waverley Park. 1992 and 2006 were also premierships we will never forget especially the latter game. "Who would've thought the sequel would be just as good as the original"

 

[footyfan1978]

1970 grand final in biggest crowd ever comeback from 44 points down to win the premiership (Before my time but know it most famous game in history)

Lowest in my time emotionally was Peter Motley car crash in 1987. Months of him in a comma and thinking he could die any moment

For me it was 1998-1999, finished 12th and we had a pretty poor looking list aside from Darren Milburn and a skinny rookie defender called Scarlett. 1999 and 2001 drafts made a huge difference.

High 2007 obvs. Personally though, beating West Coast by 135 points at their home ground in 2008 was very cool. They couldn't even boo.

 

[Seeds]

Highs 2007-2011

lows 2013-19. its not just the results. We abandoned who we are as a club. We stopped being the most attacking side in the comp which gave us great pride. We head hunted players. We became a finals joke.

 

[HTT]

High: 2017 flag
No other option really, while 2019 was extremely satisfying and 2020 is just a remarkable story, nothing will ever top the feeling of walking out of the MCG having just watched my team win a flag for the first time in my life. Surreal.

Low: 2016
For all my life being s**t was just Richmond’s thing so no other point sticks out as overly low, just a whole bunch of meh. But we’d been a pretty good team in H&A for a few years, hadn’t won a final and that burned a bit already. Then to have our arse fall out on us and feel like we might have to rebuild again just to get another shot at winning a final, not a great feeling.

[AFDogs]

High: 2016.

Low: Probably before my time but when we were about to fold and needed to rattle the cans.

 

[HairyO]

Lowest the 1992 to 2007 drought, including the merger talks after an a-hole President nearly drove us in to the ground.

Highest is maybe the 88/89 GF wins capping a truly dominant decade. Or the three-peat. Im not sure. 1961 probably for the older supporters.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Hard too top any GF win however the 17PF with a home crowd of 95k plus was just a sensational atmosphere.Something i will never forget.
Lowest point obviously was the SOS campaign.

 

[DEVO]

High: The four Premierships in 1975, 1977, 1996 and 1999. My personal highlight would be 1996.

Low: Carey Scandal in 2002.

 

[owen87]

High: 2000

Low: 2013 - 2016 or so

 

[BallaratBulldog]

high: 2016 (flag), 08-10 (pretty damn good team without a flag) 1954 (i imagine it was a good flag), 2000 vs Dons (ended their run pretty funny imo)

low: 1989 (merger fight) 2003 (peter rohde worst coach in afl imo, spoon)

 

[Cuzz09]

Being captain obvious here going by ladder possies.

Highest: 1992, 1994, 2006, 2018

Lowest: 2010

[Stan_Darsh72]

High - The Whole mid 60s, 90s, and 2004-2010

Low - The whole 80s , 2011- 2014

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

I don't think I've ever experienced a low as an Essendon fan. Pretty much been smooth sailing.

 

[footyfan1978]

Low: Carey Scandal in 2002.

Surely their first premiership ever in the league after 50 years would be their club highest moment.
I get a grand final you saw personally is for you, but the thread title suggest looking beyond what we seen ourselves each.

Nonsense! We were pretty mediocre in the 70s

Lowest point: coming to make that joke and rake in the free likes only to beaten to it by you.

I would suggest when you haven't won many all of them would be highly important and perhaps for different reasons.
