2018 Rd 18: Post Game Partying: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[kruddler]

how often does the winner come from the worst team?

Never....

This question was raised recently.

The answer was twice.

...and not for the past 50 odd years i don't think.

Only seen highlights but very impressed by the nous shown by lesser lights,  the tap ons, blocks,  sacrificial acts etc. Just getting a hand in to take a fraction off the kick etc

Marchbank's bravery was quite notable,  the frees against him to 2MP were crap. Weeters showed he is the man when is doesn't have Jones creating chaos....pity he didn't put his knee up and really teach May a lesson. 

Hope they got plenty of antihistamine cream in their kit,  that coarse bladed tropical grass plus rain equals horrific itchy rashes.

Oh,  and a last thing,  FU Cam Mooney, enough of the snide remarks. Commentate don't opinionate.

Happy to see SPS get a bit of it... go and get the ball son, we didn't draft you to tackle. Reckon he has been building up after a slow start, easily his best game for the year.

Dow also looked really sharp last night... also agree it was his best game. Stood out in the slippery conditions.

I reckon that the goal after the siren was an important step for the young man.  It was a simple shot but it would have been very easy for him to lose concentration.

Cam Mooney was a Bluebagger growing up and has a soft spot for us now, has been very supportive of what we are doing as a club in general, what did he say last night?

SPS seems like he only has one gear but his nous and lateral movement is great to watch.

Dow for a first season player is powerful and can push off from a standing start like a seasoned big bodied mid. Like SPS moves inside heavy traffic very well and doesn't panic.

Considering SPS is in his second season and Dow his first, and don't forget playing in the worst midfield in the comp - I'm very content with these 2 selections.

It's funny though if you look back on the winners from the 60s and 70s they often came from the bottom 3 or 4 teams.
The last 20 years they're mostly from teams close to the top....rarely from a bottom four side.

Yes you're correct but its beyond the realms of possibility. I have a feeling the umps love the big fella and the way he plays in the guts.

Woewodin in 2000, Coll were second worst. 2003 when Buckley won it with the Goodes and Roo, Coll were 4th last. G Ablett in 2013 GS with 5th last.

Am I making a mistake somewhere, not reading the post correctly ???....Melbourne played Essendon in the Grand Final the year Woewodin won the Brownlow (he was with Melbourne then), the year Buckley shared the Brownlow Collingwood also made the grand final

Youre right Lods, my bad on both counts
