What’s happened to Ratugolea?

He was supposed to be the next big thing but he seems to have dropped right out of the picture.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,468]

ENJOY!!

 

 

[Dr. Gonzo 24,468]

And just for good measure

 

 

[Lucifers Hero 40,743]

And for more good measure round 4, 2021 when we beat them 12.13.85 vs 9.6.60. 

 

 

Had we kicked straight it would have been another mauling.

Special mention early in the 3rd when duckwood gives away a 50 against Langdon and absolutely sooks it up !

“He dived !!!! He f$&@&$en dived!!!” 😂

Then gawny follows up with the goal from outside 50

I love it, especially because even the waterboy is laughing at him!

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,556]

The round 4 win was a ripper IMO.

Kind of signalled that we meant business for 2021.

 

[Dee Zephyr 19,322]

They had a tummy bug, remember?

[dees189227 12,517]

Max's third quarter is my highlight of the year after the gf. He just set it alight & I loved his tackling pressure to. 

That was just awesome & I don't care how sick they were.

The Janitor at Optus Stadium would have had their hands full cleaning up those toilet bowls before, during and after proceedings then.

That is fantastic, I hadn't noticed that before!  Also Langdon's glee is absolutely priceless.

I saw a headline recently where Jed Bews was putting the cats mystery illness down to something they caught in the resort spa …. “ I think the spa got us ….” 😂

Love how the cats “haven’t used the ‘illness’ as an excuse” while using it as an excuse. 

They deserve to have a long losing run against us.

[Bates Mate 4,520]

PF last year was one of my all time favourite games. Smacking Geelong, given the history of being on the other end, Max going bananas kicking 5 and being in a relaxed state knowing we would be in a GF Midway through the 3rd qtr where all foreign concepts to me. I loved it

[BDA 23,048]

A very enjoyable and stress free game. We completely pantsed those arrogant knobheads. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,459]

What a glorious night it was. 
 

Gary Rohan played a real blinder…

I HATE JEELONG

Ending the game with 5 AA's on the bench just rubbed salt into the wound. Like an NBA side resting their starters once the game is won.

but they're "not using that as an excuse"

The prelim gets forgotten a bit because of the glory of the granny but it was our best win in 57 years for a week. 

[Tarax Club 4,194]

 

If 90% of the game is played above the shoulders...

GFC sports psychologist has still got her/his work cut out!

Priceless. Thanks for sharing. A photo worthy of a thousand memes.
