POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22

[SFebes 4,884]

I said we’d lose to Sydney and beat WCE!!! And it happened. Thought we’d get beaten by GWS but can’t see them beating us now, Dees win convincingly next week. Finish 5th

Wonder how Viney is feeling tonight. 

Like a millionaire i’d guess

[Radar Detector 1,347]

I put my hand up as doubting we would get it done this year. Frustrated by the ability to take chances and inability to convert.

Well done Demons, this is a massive moment! Whether this year or next, our time is coming.

well done @Wiseblood for continuing to stay positive. Hope you feel vindicated and enjoy the lead up to September!

[Moonshadow 17,675]

I thought Weid had a reasonable game, particularly the first half 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

How good was that! Milkshake is crucial to this club. Harmes was awesome. Jonesy played a captain's game. Gus, Clarry and Maxxy solid as always. Loved the INs. Hannan was fantastic. Didn't hit the scoreboard (kicks were woeful), but I really liked what I saw from Weids. He's going to be a great contributor. Even Kent gave a little in the second half.

Modelling for the finals:

First good news (from a 'I don't like the Roos' perspective) is it doesn't look like they can make it from here, same as Port as they need the cats to lose to the suns... Yikes.

If we win (regardless of hawks Sydney game) we finish 5 and we play cats at G.

If we lose and Hawks win, we play Sydney over there.

If we lose and Swans win, we play Hawks at G.

I really don't know what I prefer. I'd rather win (obv) and knock the cats out of the finals. Can't lose to them 3x in a year, right? Plus, it would be great for the story to knock the cats out of the finals!

BRING IT!

Thanks Trac. The Foxtel footage went straight to the Golf. Amateur hour again.

Sorry if it’s been mentioned already but I’m too shaky and might have missed it, 7 news went straight to the news I was told.

Biggest win in 12 years and they do this?

Milkshake puts in, in the team song, nearly blows a gasket.

It’s not Foxtel fault the 7 feed doesn’t continue. Foxtel always show the song on Bounce.

I also hope that [censored] Sam Newman eats some humble pie.

Pretends he is salt of the earth when he is the biggest private school bully going around.

I do feel a little vindicated, but I am so excited to not only play finals, but that we as a supporting collective get to enjoy it as well.  So many of us have stuck fat through some of the worst football ever witnessed, and we deserve to enjoy every moment that this win brings.  If we win a final, and holy hell do I hope we do, then that will be amazing, but to get this huge monkey off our back will set us superbly for the years to come.  I hope you enjoy it too!

[Skuit 10,031]

I personally held my nerve in the last when we slipped behind. The maturity the players brought to this match from the very start allowed me that confidence. A big tip of the hat to Goody as we came out steady and a little less gung ho with our movement in the last.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Let’s hope we lose and play Sydney in NSW!

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

Anyone know what the busy up with lecras and Jetta was about ?

6PR commentators in their post match show are saying that Vandenberg should get a week. Late and an elbow

Surely not enough force? 

[Cassiew 1,903]

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but how sweet to beat the team that denied us a place in the finals last year 

[gregdemon 624]

love another crack at mcg versus cats

[MurDoc516 1,505]

Nev Jetta is the best player to ever play the game. That is all. 

[BarnDee 287]

[P-man 13,366]

I want us to win next week, the G is our home and even though it hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us of late that needs to change. Let's start from next week.

Ever since round one I've wanted us to face the cats in the finals. I want nothing more than for us to swipe those arrogant smiles of the cats fans faces. They've been lucky too long now, they didn't deserve round 1, and they didn't deserve round 18. Let's take them down when it really matters.
