In Your Opinion: Our Worst Loss

[The bulldog tragician]

Re: In Your Opinion: Our Worst Loss

On my blog a few weeks ago I recalled a hideous match agains Essendon in 1982 at Windy Hill - by 132 points. It wasn't just the performance, it was being crushed in with the relentlessly awful Essendon fans who never gave it a rest for a moment with their taunts, jeers and mockery. I think that's my lowlight, though the North 96 match was pretty awful too (captured on Year of the Dogs film - how strange to think this was only a year before we nearly grabbed a flag),

I agree that our 08 and 09 QFs were really galling. There is no other excuse for those losses and the way they happened than that we froze in the spotlight. Gee we've endured a lot as fans. Thanks for all the happy memories!!

Being smashed in Round 1 tends to destroy all hopes for the season.

Ha, was thinking about this last night.

In recent times the trip to West Coast and beaten by 1000 points.

I remember the WCE final, Bubba's 300th. I remember being so stoked we at least got him to 300, but at the same time, it wasn't much of a farewell, at all.

Who else retired that day?

West and Smith played their 300ths together in that one. Smith retired but West played on.

Cheers. I knew two milestones / retirements happened that night.

My son was there, the sole Bulldog in an entire stand at Subiaco.

I think we may have been the only team to beat them at Subi that year.

Re: In Your Opinion: Our Worst Loss

Bubba put the ice on the team by announcing he would be retiring at the end of the finals series before the Elimination Final against Collingwood. The Collingwood final was his 299th game and because we won and progressed to the next week Bubba got his 300th game.

We were a lot of fun to watch in 2006 when things were going our way. We were a lot of fun to watch in the next four years when things were going our way.

Shame we weren't a lot of fun to watch when things weren't during that time.

I was at that game and it would have to be one of the worst games to attend, not so much the flogging on the ground but the beating the fans took in the stands. I have had such a loathing for bomber fans ever since. They would just not let up.

We took some real beatings in 1980,81 and 82.

Finals losses. Can't watch replays.
