Bumped We don't play footy to lose - autopsy vs Gold Coast

[GeordieRoo]

The most pleasing thing for me was that after the niggle, late 2nd quarter, GC did not want to know about the contest for the rest of the game. Been a long time since we've done that to an opposition. That means more than playing for draft picks.

 

[Sticksphat]

I am not sure why Dawson did not get a look in this season.

I think saw him as an undersized Key Back, but I think he can be play as taller mid-sized defender because of his agility. Maybe a replacement for JZ in the back half if the decision hasn't already been made.

 

[Cool Kangas]

To everyone sprouting about how great our defence was without LMac, and it was, do you not realise he'll be right back there again come round 1? He's not going to magically disappear.

Well maybe clarko can reinvent him in the off season.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Tex could easily kick 5 tomorrow, then we'll have to watch them explain how %TOG or 1%ers are the key stat that guarantees AA selection

Doesn't matter how many he kicks tomorrow, given he plays today

 

[Cool Kangas]

Nope

Kayno

Nope

Me walking to the bottle-o in the Illawarra right now, as locals try and work out whether the royal blue and white merch I’m wearing is some new Cronulla sharks gear.

Can they not spell in the ‘Warra?

Reinvent him into what? He's not elite at anything. Maybe his only chance is a Ben Jacobs type role.

Tactical Substitute

 

[Rod Stroker]

Maybe the two Back “outs” gave us more run?

for sure. I've said it all week that Dawson should have played well before now, and Bergman was great. Even Perez was OK, although I'm not sure he'll make it.

I reckon the Warm Fuzzies of last years Pre season Clarko has to be gone

If I see another Warm and Fuzzie Nmfc Media clip in February of Clarko shitz n giggles I will spew

Yes spew Rod

 

[Merlin007]

The best we’ve played all year by a ******* mile

Where was this all year?!

...well, we didn't have the coach for half of it

 

[Digby Morrell]

Cheers

I think you might be disappointed

No coincidence that the GD was created by you know who.

Win

 

[DuckYeah]

****in WIN WESTCOAST

 

[Samsquanch]

My brother barracks for * and at the end he text me "Why?". I said it was so great for the players and supporters and that Clarko and Viney are better placed than I to know what winning instead of losing means re picks. Also I felt like saying that I think we look way better than his team despite our position on the ladder.

Passmore and wolvesRoos heard Boomer Harvey speak during the week about the value of the win being ahead of a loss and the dark shadow of being labelled as a team of tankers by the public and media. Today's win was the most important of the season for the club. It is just one win when you look at the ladder but it shuts the mouth of every critic, most of whom were already poised to label North as tankers and who would have resented everything we get in terms of draft picks, assistance package and every win we land for the next three years.

We won today and the accusation of tanking has been sunk.

 

[LB2Snake]

A big part is selection - played the fittest and most mobile side.

Yeah no slow half backs roosting the ball 45 metres up in the air and 40 away. We looked heaps better.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I endorse this. What a ******* legend. 70 goals! Ben Brown isn’t fit to tie his boot laces

Why the f*ck are you bringing up a player who left years ago on the back of kicking 180 over three seasons? Larkey and Ben don’t have any beef. F*cking grow up.

 

[Mop]

Good way to end a season lads.

Hoping we can send you back to Spoonville ourselves, but either way whatever happens it’s a proper way to end a shitbox of a season.

Enjoy the off-season lads.

 

[Samsquanch]

Win

We need more than 13 wins next year. You got the job.

Dan, Twinkletoes and myself have been delisted.

 

[ferball]

People rating player performances in this game GC did not give 1 f**k.

And we did.

Which would you rather?

 

[speedy]

Bunch of junkies hanging for a quick fix shitting on the non junkies for knowing this win has no influence on our future. About as much meaning as the first beating the seconds in an intra club.

 

[trooroo4life]

this may be conspiratorial but it's almost like a deal has been done for WCE to trade you Pick 1 for your Pick 2 and McKay compensation Pick. It'll probably be more complex than that and may even mean the AFL will look more favourably on the Sanders request.
That's the only way I can find an explanation for the craziness of the last 2 weeks!
Kudos to you guys, like us, you haven't tanked... and to Clarko who said you'd be trying to win.

You ain’t getting 2 top 5 picks mate. If we wanted Reid that badly we would have flown the white flag today. You’ll either take the WA lad or take our #2 + Port pick. If you think you’re getting the McKay compo (if we get it) you’re in dream land.

I only did it because I ventured out into public on a Friday night, went inside, had a great time, got home late and thought yeh it’s nearly midnight
