Worst Performance in AFL history.

[Rabish Binney]

1995, round 13 (Friday night MCG), Crows lost to Collingwood by 96 points (24.8 to 7.14)
1995, round 14 (Saturday arvo MCG), Crows lost to Essendon by 122 points (27.20 to 8.12)

A dim couple of weeks to say the least.

Don’t tell them that

Don’t tell them that

I don't know 2001 was enormously funny for me to watch Freo. Took until Round 18 to get the first win. Young Pav was a bit of light in the Freo gloom back then.

It obviously isn't the biggest loss in AFL history, but Port Adelaide's terrible performance against the Western Bulldogs in the 2021 Preliminary Final, with the side coming into the match in good form, playing at home and with so much at stake was one of the worst losses I've seen in recent years.

Sure, the Bulldogs were very good, but the way Port Adelaide failed to get into the contest at any stage from the opening bounce to the final siren was extraordinary. It was like the performance of a 16th placed team in the final round that had nothing to lose or gain and didn't care whether they won or lost and just wanted to get onto Mad Monday and their end of season trip without any last round injuries, and almost surreal in the way it played out.

Take Mitch Lewis out of our side and we look pretty impotent. He makes an enormous difference

Yep he is class

A couple of the Port Adelaide results in 2011 were right up (down?) there

2007 Grand Final is far worse, since it was the focus of the nation and the most important game. Dead rubber 130+ thrashings to rebuilding sides has happened to almost all clubs during the H&A season.

Yeah Ch10 did a great job with their AFL coverage back then, their commentators like Quartermain, Huddo, Tim Lane and Robert Walls were much better than the commentary teams we have today and their crowd effect mics were better too, they could make even a small crowd sound like it was a sell out.

There was an article a couple of years ago about how much better the Ch10 commentators were than the Ch7 commentators now and it's all very true.

Ten years on: Why Ten's AFL commentary still reigns supreme

It's been ten years since Australian rules football was broadcast on Channel Ten. The 2011 season was the network's last of a ten-year run…

Channel 9 were the best, but 10 was a better broadcaster than 7.

Collingwood I remember played them the week before when the Pies started to become competitive for the first time since mid 90s. Pavlich hit the post early in the final Qtr which could have put Freo up by 20. Then Collingwood kicked 7 straight and it was over.

So those couple of weeks for Freo were a good mini patch!

Lost two in three weeks by over 100 iirc

138 (record loss) then 165 (new record) in consecutive games. However that was 2 of the top 3 sides.
