POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast

[TheoX 1,218]

Good to get the win but to think we beat them by 100 or so points last time, when we had a decent forward line.

[640MD 2,809]

A win by a point, even after a terrible game is so much better than a loss by a point after a fantastic game.

 

The celebratory drinks far out point,  the despondent   " if only "  drinks    sorry the pun was intended     GO DEES !!

Can’t wait to watch the 4 quarter replay of this classic. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and stick hot pins up your taint instead. 

 

Both Gold Coast’s supporters will be fuming. 

Even those 2 will not believe the last 2 minutes of the game...

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.

a long term injury does that provide us with another pick in the mid season draft?

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.

Exactly Demonised.  Seen too many the other way ...it's about time and shows we have some true grit within this group.

Honestly thought Harmes was just going to kick through it and go for goal. But thank god Macca kicked it off the ground.

Did Harmes actually mean to hit up TMc, or was it a shank. Not sure. 

[Coq au vin 754]

Never in doubt...

A german staying in my hotel came running up to me and said “you Australians have just won a Gold medal!!”

”BS” was my reply

”no no come to the TV ? and watch..”

Had a top day!!

[The Reverend 1,704]

Craptastic!

A win is better than a loss but I'm not sure how much more I can take.

Good point. They get the job done with 49 seconds to go

Well done Marty Hore

....and he was injured.

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

Gawn injured ?

[dees189227 10,808]

Christ 66-44 inside 50's. Gee we need to get better at this and start converting these entries into goals.  

We have recorded back to back wins. 

Anyway tomorrow we can get the paper and read about a win. Better than reading about a loss.

Sketchy stuff.

I watched it live on TV.
Was amazing.

I think Razor likes us.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

That may well have been the worst game of the year.

What the complete f... is going on with the fumbles? 

 

13 minutes ago, Rusty Nails said:

Which ones?

There was one at the 12 minute mark of the 2nd quarter, and another one right at the start of the 4th.

It can’t be - we won. The St Kilda game was a stinker

[Deecisive 1,652]

I see improvement in this weeks effort over our previous games this year. Yes it was at times putrid especially the way we went into our forward 50. But we continued to go win the ball back and pound it forward again time and time again. We will be better for the run, if we did not kick so poorly for goal we would have won by 5 goals instead of a point.

Happy with the win. Better that the westcoast does not see us as serious contenders for next weeks game.

Great to be on the end of a last second win for a change.

They were reporting that on the radio, but didnt elaborate. Im hoping he was just just totally out on his feet like he gets

[John Crow Batty 8,258]

These days I would screw an ugly 4 points anytime.

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

I think Harmes just fluffed the kick.

He may have some concussion concerns.  He belted his head on the ground at one point and then spend almost ten minutes on the bench while Dec rucked.

Agreed. He kicked the exact same goal last week. He was obviously going for goal, but as with every other kick in this game, it was a miss.

The GCS have also found some heart in that time.
