See, there's always a silver lining

Good heavens.

There's no way the GC performances should be compared to ours .

We "should" be miles infront in terms of developement .

Oh c'mon - he even had the sarcastic emoticon!

Only way that I'd compare to us is that the bummers managed a larger lead in 1 quarter than we managed in a whole game, but I must say it is really of no importance.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Start praying for Essendon.

We want to lose that 1979 record !!!!!!!!

I'm embarrassed for us and no laughing at GC especially at the hands of the scum will help .

Sarcasm emoticon or not .

Now I'm even more embarrassed for you.

Shows up the disparency between Essendon and us nicely I'd have thought.

New game record looming and happy to lose it

Now I'm even more embarrassed for you.

Your obviously a Dk'Ed , so I don't care .

Glad I took the over 200.5 pts in this one!

Thirty minutes is a long time in football. GC17 win the second quarter. The Bomber revival is over and some of their fans are muttering "sack Hird" under their breath.

Where do I find the sarcasm emoticon?

What really shows how bad we were is that the inside fifties in that quarter was 25-9.... We only managed 22-3

Still a possibilty but less likely now...

very much my thinking. It took a whole game and many many goals in junk time to amount that lead for us.

Cant help but be impressed by the Bummers today

I don't think it matters when you score the goals, we still performed well against the Suns in my opinion. GC beat Essendon in the second quarter today 5.2 to 3.0 by the way. Still, 15 goals in the first quarter pretty much seals it.

edit: also impressed with Essendon. Just goes to show you that a change in coach and admin can do wonders for a list. Essendon will trounce the Dee's in a few weeks.

Actually , to me it does. GC in the first qtr have fresh legs and all the game before them.. They jumped us. They have been pummeled by Essendon. We got our big scores agaisnt GC when they were knackered ( youngens ) We were junk time kings...Essendon have shown their ability when it really matters.

A big difference to me..

In that context, I do understand your position. Both Melbourne and Essendon have smashed GC, but Essendon have done it more convincingly by kicking 15 in the first quarter and the final margin is likely to be 20 goals plus easily.

The really sad thing ( for us ) is that despite the obvious difference in the sides ,GC are still having a crack, still playing with what they have at their disposal, still putting bodies on the line...... unlike some other club I could mention

But the awesome thing for us is that the likes of Tom Scully must be watching this game and wondering just how much worse GWS are going to be next season, especially if they don't attract a big name like Ablett (and they probably won't).

it hurts when Gold Coast outscore the Demons, even though they were thrashed they still managed to outscore us.

There's also a bronze Lining, http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/power-show-no-spirit-no-fight-and-no-hope/story-e6frecj3-1226047640553

So, this may be 'Gold' then, Lining. http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/112766/default.aspx

Ours was the 3rd worst performance from the 7 matches this week IMO.
