Did you want McMahon to kick the goal?

[LeBron James 41]

Self explanitory. I feel pretty dirty about it, but i did.

EDIT: For the life of me i can't figure out how to work these polls, so if any mod can add one for me that'd be cool.

Defs not.

I pretty much forgot about the PP this arvo, I was filthy that he was paid the mark, and then kicked the goal.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,324]

Yes.

That kick may have secured Scully.

I hope like hell that never happens again though.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,281]

Absolutely. Is this a rhetorical question. We did everything we could to lose today and still nearly won. To me that shows that our future may be alot brighter alot sooner than we think.

[Neita3000 37]

Haha I celebrated, felt kinda bad after though

Love it! The worst player in the AFL kicks a goal that delivers Scully to us - fantastic!

You should have heard the Tiges' supporters on the radio - they are soooo filthy that their team doesn't play for the future.

What a great day!!

[Steamin Demon 370]

I hate it but I cheered like we had won a final

[Jarka 767]

Short answer - Yes

Long answer - Hell yes

[e25 5]

I hate it but I cheered like we had won a final

me too

[Jaded No More 58,614]

YES YES GOD YES!

Mere seconds earlier I was fuming, filthy, devastated that I've sat through 3 years of utter garbage and it's all going to mean nothing when we beat the worst team going around, in a meaningless game.

I had to look away when McMahon was kicking it. Figures that the biggest dud in their side, who couldn't hit a target all day, was going to line up for the victory. I was ecstatic when he won it.

Some people around me must have thought I was crazy, but they will all be very happy when Tom Scully is dominating the competition for the next 10 years.

[deeangel 2]

no - I was not happy he kicked it!

I am sick of the tanking debate- that kick after the siren can't be orchestrated- we were trying to win although we did not have many number 1 team players in! Which means how bad are Richmond!

[Longsufferingnomore 1,484]

Haha I celebrated, felt kinda bad after though

I had a little boy maybe 8 years old crying behind me but his Dad was very pleased. What can you say to explain that it is all for the better. I hated being there but it was great to see Spencer chase and scrag, Nathan Jones do his in and unders, to watch the continual development of Stef Martin (until he went off)and Jetta and see that Newton left on the ground to make sure that it was harder for us to win!! Short term pain long term gain.

[John Dee 438]

I have long suffered from a smidgin of white-line-fever; when the siren went, I had an opportunity to reflect and investigate my feelings. I definitely wanted him to kick it. I am not at ease with myself still; that is football in this day and age.

[cooko 124]

yes.. i cheered.. but i feel really really dirty for it..

this tanking system sucks.. making supporters want their own team to lose.. bring on the lottery system

[Jaded No More 58,614]

- we were trying to win

The players were, of course, and I'm glad they were. I thought many lesser lights today stood up and played really well, even when clearly out of position, or given ridiculous tasks.

But as a club, we were not trying to win.

Bailey and co. were orchestrating one of the biggest tanking jobs I have ever witnessed, and the best thing, we were in front when the siren went so nobody can accuse us of anything!

Even with a D grade side, if everyone played in their intended positions, we would have beat an almost full-strength Richmond.

We didn't, and now we are one loss closer to securing the two best kids in the country. That's why our future is bright, and Richmond's isn't.

[rpfc 27,590]

Yeah, I did.

I wanted fate to do us a favour for once.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Short answer - Yes

Long answer - Hell yes

cough,,,,,,,,,cough, clears throat, Ha,Ha,Ha. :D

[Gorgoroth 12,332]

I was devestated I thought he would miss forma set shot and was stoked he kicked it!

We are tanking it one week at a time!

[45HG 1,539]

Absolutely.

McMahon...ha! One of the worst players in the comp. Lucky to kick it, lucky to get the mark. About time things go our way, what a horrible thing to say.

I and about 10 others in the Bullring (I couldn't watch it from my seat) all cheered.

Horrible situation.

Yeah, I can understand what your saying, but you know what, that little boy, so disappointed & confused, briefly, will remember that in adversity their is a positive that can be taken & laughed with, even in the most adverse times.

Life, the double edged sword.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

No!

I can't believe that anyone would have wanted that to go through.

I was so angry and uspset after the game, it was crazy.

The coaching staff should be ashamed of themeselves for all those stupid changes in positions.

If that's gonna happen again I'm not gonna go to the footy.

Worst game ever!!!!!

[Guest mazza]

Was a terrible day, i hated being there. Feel terrible to have barracked against the dees

[titan_uranus 22,628]

Of course I did. But that's not to say I enjoyed it.

As one very observant caller to SEN said, whatever Demetriou's position on tanking, if supporters are going to matches hoping their team loses, there's something wrong.

[Pates 9,537]

I didn't cheer but i wanted him to kick it. The AFL should be ashamed with themselves for putting fans like us in this position. Just get rid of the priority pick!

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

No!

I don't think I can add much to that apart from that I believe no draft pick in the world is worth supporters being happy about being beaten last kick of the day.
