POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast

[Chook 14,614]

Confession: I turned the game off in disgust after that last Gold Coast goal with 49 seconds left. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would come back to Demonland 30 minutes later and find out we won. Half an hour after we lost(!), I rewind the game and watch the miracle on grass.

Unbelievable. We are fated to make the finals this year. Or not, but that was an incredible 60 seconds of footy to watch all the same.

[Maldonboy38 6,034]

I remember the lack of success, and the wooden spoons of the 70's and early 80's. 

I remember the horror of the Neeld era.

We won. I am happy. Unwatchable football and no joy  in watching the game, but a win.

I don't care that we won, our season is beyond over. I actually feel for the Suns, I liked what they were doing. We were Neeld/Bailey era bad. Dumb football, poor skills, nobody can take a mark, complete absence of a gameplan. Putrid. 

Did you see the coaching staff celebrate in the box? How embarrassing. It's like we won the Grand final when all we did is beat a candidate for the wooden spoon.

Ugh

Wet blanket.

Comedic gold this club at the moment.

Tom McDonald being called the “star of the show” by Mooney is laughable.

He was deplorable along with just about everyone else.

What a horrible game of football.

Our coaches have done nothing to fix our fumble and ball on ground problems from last year.

The forward line is a mess, the structure is non-existent and we have no plan when then ball hits the ground.

Sad but true.

Excited we won but that was more the grog.

 

Did not deserve it. Shocking skill errors and dumb footy.

TERRIBLE GAME.  BUT SO MANY INJURIES.  HIBBERT LONG TERM INJURY   MELKSHAM AND LEWIS BOTH PROBABLY OUT.  ALREADY GOT 3 OR 4 OTHERS PLAYING ON ONE LEG   THEY'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE BOOT STUDDER A GAME SOON.

Get your boots out Stinga!  Club will be ringing around shortly!

5 pages in and still no Olisik.... he would have been rubbing his hands and licking his lips when GC hit the fron with 49 seconds to go.

A win is a win! We'll take it hey! 

Well done boys for just not giving up at all!!

[Jaded No More 59,133]

Yeah I mean you gotta be happy with a win. Those last 49 seconds saved this game from being officially the worst display of football ever seen in a professional game of AFL. 

It was a very costly win to a team already battling fitness and injury and our season is still done and dusted, but hey, take what you can get and celebrate. 

A terrible miss kick, a dropped mark and a kick that hit the post never looked so good!

Gawn was massive in those final moments.

Season Over? See you in 2020?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

You can laugh your [censored] off but thats season defining. 

[Salems Lot 2,392]

When they went 6 points up I stormed to the front door to pick up the pizzas.  Got halfway up the hall and turned around thinking that there was still hope; scared the dog when T Mc hit the post.  To cap it off, the pizzas weren't ready when I eventually got there.

That was the worst game we have played in 5 years but we got the 4 points.  There is still hope.

Still Gold.

[Sir Why You Little 34,930]

The last 49 seconds will be remembered and for Hibberd i am glad of that. 

Busted collarbones are so painful

This team will click at some stage soon. 

Ugly wins are so important

the season is still alive

Extraordinary finish. 

Gee whiz we played like excretion. 

You should be wrapped with the result considering you tipped the Suns by 20pts.

15 tackles to Oliver and 13 to Harmes...huge also.

I remember Maldonboy! Where have you been mate? 

It might not be watchable but it's pretty bloody funny at times.

I’m with you Cassie, I’m surprised at the negativity here, imagine if we had lost! That last 49 seconds showed huge growth with our group, we stole a win, go Dees! Flag’s up 2 weeks in a row

I’m not expecting finals, but seriously if you think we don’t deserve any support, why go in here? Go on the opponents forums or go on Facebook to do negativity comments. I understand for a loss, but a win? What other fans would do this?

For decades, I've seen teams like Hawthorn and the Swans play like rubbish in games like this and then snatch a win, often from us. Now , we're doing it. Good.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,946]

Harmes looking to be unselfish almost cost us as Tmac dropped the simple mark but thankfully got enough on it to get a score
