I think you did, Brendan!  Hope the little fella is okay!

He would have been worse if he had stayed. I say smart thinking by your little one Brendan, Wish I had that awareness at the start of a game, or a season for that matter.

This is a game we would have lost and lost badly any other year. A win is a win. 

Do I watch the replay or just skip straight to the bottle?

This is a bit of a throwaway often repeated line. Last weeks match and loss was better to watch than this.

It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. I'd rather the 4 points than not.

The players were happy they won, but they certainly didn't go overboard about it.  I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread that they overheard Petracca say "4 points is 4 points, boys", so it's clear they know that they were well below their best.

I'll take it.  It was the worst game of football that I've seen in a long time, but we won.  Did we deserve it?  No, but then we deserved to win last week so it works both ways.

I'll let the others go with the negatives as there were plenty and I hate typing them out.

Positives - Jack Watts stood up for us today which was fantastic.  Stretch was good, after a poor first quarter and a half Vanders was a bit of X-Factor up forward, Petracca showed some flashes of brilliance, Brayshaw seems to be getting back to form and I thought our backline stood up well under pressure, especially considering how poorly we turned the ball over through the middle and up forward.

If we play like that next week Hawthorn will MURDER us, but consider this:

We now have 8 wins, 1 more than last year, and we still have 4 chances to build on it.  Let's hope we can.

Positive outlook & need to be ., talent is there.. Poor footy played but we forget GC are playing much better than they were last time, WC game would have impacted on them .. Not making excuses for poor footy but you can only for reasons... Comp is s lot more even than most think for middle to lower clubs on the ladder

Skip the bottle as well and just put your head in the dunny.

Just watch the highlights posted on the AFL website, save yourself 2 agonising hours

If you like seeing Watts (kick the winning goal) and Gawn play - then watch it. Otherwise, id avoid it. It was pretty bloody horrible footy.

Throw your TV in the bin and burn the bin, just to be safe.

Ah the MFC, contributing to alcoholism since my whole life 

After watching that I feel like we still lost.

To think we are fielding our almost best 22 and have no first round draft pick makes me wonder if we have improved. GC with there team are same strength as ours and with two first rounders this year are definitely still ahead of us

If we play that badly next year, but win every game including the finals and Grand Final, I'll put up with it.

Dawes' kicking has started nice and early.

I'm impressed.

There were a thousand mistakes in that game and GCS played a very disciplined game.

A win's a win.

Imagine if Gold Coast had a fraction of the injuries they currently have.

We need to learn and play a very different kind of football.That was offensive to the eye.

I feel as a criminal taking the points.

Listened on radio, god that was awful

 

 

It was worse watching on TV

One of the worst games I have ever seen, Watts best and second best and third best.

Just a poor effort by our senior players and I can see some changes next week. 

Don't care how many possessions he had, the skipper was terrible today, fortunately for him Bernie was a lot worse. WTF is going on with Hogan, he was really ineffectual today and he needs to work out if he wants to play with us or not.

Oscar was ok today and Frost shows a bit, he will get better.  Hunt gives it everything and Billy was one of our best.

We looked out of sorts today and as if we didn't want to be there.

I'm amused that three individual footballers will receive Brownlow Medal votes from that match.

I've had time to cool down and think about it.

1. Both teams played extremely disciplined defensive games.

2. The pressure from both teams was immense.

3. GC played the game on their terms, and we played into it.

4. Our disposals were deplorable, but we never gave up.

5. Dawes, Vince, Jones and Garlett really let us down today.

6. We worked out butts off to win that game, and did, but the hard work was almost for nothing because of a Vince brainfade. 

 

I think the positive to come out of this is that we won that on the back of the young brigade. Petracca, Tyson, Hunt and Frost all lifted another gear in the last and kept us in it. Watts was a pest all day and may snag the three votes on the back of winning the game. 

On a positive note AVB reminds us of what he is capable of and Frost, O Mac and Hunt seem to have gone up a level. Should acknowledge Harmes courage in that marking contest.
