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

[krakouers]

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

You have a new routine pre North Games

 

[gustev]

most consecutive wins in 20 games IIRC

GC were pathetic. We just threw away the number one pick on a token win that meant absolutely nothing. If the players think that was worth a grain of salt the club is in a worse position than we thought.

Watch the players and staff after that game. It did not mean nothing to them. Crawl back under your tanking rock.

Eddie Ford has really come into his own.

Larkey is a chance for the Coleman in coming years especially as we improve and gets more supply.

So happy to win
Sucks we may miss out on Reid but whoever we get with Pick 2 & 3 will also be guns.

Thanks for the nourishment boys! Go wet toast!

Mixed feelings , now watching raynor killing it against saints, having said that i would take ldu in a redraft no prob, but after losing the raynor cup brisbane shot into contention, for us was the beginning of a sustained crap period.

I sure as hell hope history dont repeat this time. And we have to go for curtain now.

 

[speedy]

Couldn't win for Cunners but excited about beating this trash.

No truer word has been said. This win is fools gold.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Remove the question mark. Football is about winning. We are a football team. We just won. Enjoy it campaigners!!!

Thankyou!

100%

The emotion of it caught me off guard & I actually teared up when the group sung the club song.

20 losses in a row is crap in any sport. I needed that win to finish the most tumultuous year we’ve had in a very long time.

The last time we had a chance to win the last game of the season to avoid the spoon we beat Brissy & ended up with LDU.
This win is more important than where the pick lands. We’ll get a gun either way. The win is so important for the players.
The only way is up from here.
Also, look how quickly it has turned for Brisbane since that game.

Tarryn genuinely looks like he is invested.
He will win our next Norm Smith Medal.

Sheezel IS the Rising Star.

Larkey a genuine A grade superstar now & deserves, at the very least, an All Australian bench spot.
Side note: if another poster didn’t cut my lunch with my annual goal kicking tally thread, I would have updated it weekly & it would have been a fun arvo to see who won the jug of beer.
Alas, I’ll do it next year. Whomever started this years was not committed to the cause.

Getting to sing the song with my baby girl for the first time was pretty nice

28 points down at one stage and came out 35-point winners. Remarkable effort.

 

[RHLK]

Can we have a rather large WTAF? for the selection committee? Even allowing for the confusion Clarko stepping aside created at the club we seem to have been poorly served by the selectors this season.

 

[Briedis]

That winning feeling! I feel the same as this guy

 

[Bulge]

Given the absence of so many of our elder statesmen (Ziebell, Cunners, LMac) I wonder if the group saw this as the opportunity for them to stamp their authority over the club.

Its theirs now.

 

[glenn2479]

So we beat what is apparently 80% of Gold Coasts next premiership side???

 

[Forever North]

In this day and age of conspiracies, conflicts of interests, dodgy deals etc in AFL land, am I wrong go suggest that the AFL might have had a quiet word about our ‘assistance package’ should we finish 2nd instead of 1st? The howls of protests in club land was already at fever pitch because we were getting picks 1, 2 PA’s first rounder and that top 5 gun kid from tassie blah blah blah. Maybe it would be a far more easier sell to get some ‘assistance’ if we finished 2nd……

Anyway in the end glad we won and maintained some sort of dignity and respect as a club and avoided the media whores bashing us about tanking for the next decade.

Larkey should be captain next year. He’d kick 100 at a Collingwood or Port.

oh please, why do you think? Because we finally found our grove?

 

[NarniMagic]

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 guys must be smoking some strong shit over there in WA lol wtf even is this post?

 

[Dirty_11]

So if GC were pathetic and we lost, what does that say about the group?

Show a bit of positivity. Tanking talk is just fun and games but on GD you support the club to win.

It shows that we are a club that lost 20 games straight. Today's win means nothing.

 

[Disco Dew]

You’re not going to convince anyone who is happy with todays win to feel shit about it. Just as no one is going to convince you to enjoy it.

 

[speedy]

avoided the media whores bashing us about tanking for the next decade.

Thats the only positive, but they will still bash us if we get draft assistance.

 

[amaz199]

Today's win means everything. Losing 20 in a row was disgraceful but to end it today shows we can actually compete without our best players out there.

It means that they can actually achieve something that is better than losing by 5 goals when the momentum swings and we sit here talking about another 'honourable loss' or whatever.

**** that. You should be proud bro. Our kids showed something special today and Larkey kicked 9.

On top of everything else, and despite Dwayne’s best efforts, T*ts McGee here only gained an extra 20 Instagram followers

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

I was all for Reid. Then Rowell slammed JY and we flew a flag for once. From there I wanted i blood. Eddie Ford is now 1-21. It means a lot more to him than playing with Harley (which he still might btw).
