How can you honestly narrow it down to one “crappest” moment?
There is such a plethora of valid options. A majority of which have occurred in the last 20 years.
It’s hard to go past the ■■■■ storm that was the supplements saga though. 9 years on and we are still paying dearly for this and you could make a very strong argument that it has directly resulted in so many other “crappest” moments since.

Farking Josh Green called for it. Typical Essington…give it to me, giver it to me…
Going a little farther back that everyone here would remember, but the 1948 Grand Final would have to rank up there.
Kicking 7.27 to Melbourne’s 10.9 to draw the grand final and then lose the replay wiuld as gutting as they come

Replacing the “Membership Department” with “Client Services”.
It is impossible to adequately express how much Peter Jackson needs to ■■■■ off.

Us getting beat by 137 points against the Crows in 2006. Trent Hentschel kicked 8. Pretty sure it was Fletch’s 250th that night.
Very underrated “crappest” moment.
We lost by bigger margins in 1987 (Sydney) and 1992 (Hawthorn) but that Crows game is, comfortably, the worst I’ve seen us play.

Going back even further before the 1948 disaster, the post-season charity match against VFA premiers Footscray in 1924. Several players were reportedly bribed to throw the game, resulting in punches being thrown in the rooms after the match. Star CHB Tom Fitzmaurice walked out on the club in disgust and played the remainder of his career at Geelong.

Seriously, the saga, and that infamous press conference…“erotic substances” and it went even further downhill from there.

Losing to Sydney after being 400 points up with 10 seconds to go after Marty Gleeson was pile-driven in to a woodchipper by Gary Rohan in the goalsquare.

Actually, 1948 came a year after we lost the grand final to fark Carlton by a point, kicking 11-19-85 to their 13-8-86
We lost 2 gfs in a row to bad kicking.
We won the next two, and probably could have won the next one after that had coleman not been suspended
