Weirdest end to a game ever?

[Byron_Clanger]

i think siren-gate with the dockers was the weirdest one i ever seen

 

[CM Sean]

A very bizarre quarter to cap off a laughable game. Very weird range of emotions in that last quarter, but ultimately I was happy when McMahon slotted that goal and kept our priority pick alive.

I agree with this... for the most part.

After Pettard had kicked what looked to be the winning goal late in the last quarter, I didn't know what to think. I had so many things running through my mind at the time it was just crazy. for some reason I felt angry yet... proud all at once.

I was screaming at the TV, one side of me just didn't want to believe how stupid we were for winning the game. Then it came down to the final seconds and the ball was sitting in the Richmond forward line. Players everywhere scratching and clawing to the best of their ability to scramble the ball free. I thought to myself... We've won. There's no possible way we can lose now, Bailey get's up in the coaches box and basically walks out, all hope was lost and our priority pick was 1 more win away from slipping out of our grasp. Yet for some reason, as soon as Bailey stood up, I said out loud, "It's not over yet idiot!". I don't know why, but something came over me, it felt so bad just thinking about the fact that we we're going to win the game.

Then suddenly, the last kick of the game (or so we thought) comes off a Richmond boot... floats in the air for a time that seemed damn near an eternity... and then... The siren sounds. Or so I thought. Apparently the siren had sounded as the mark was being taken, making the mark legal and giving Jordan McMahon a shot at goal after the siren to seal the game for the tigers. At this point, regardless of how I felt for the Priority Picks, the first words from my mouth were (approximately lol) "The siren went first, it went before he marked it... We Won...I can't believe this. What are they, stupid?" Next thing you know, McMahon is lining up the last kick of the game. The mark was paid and I was deflated to say the least.

I felt so bad for Melbourne and even though I felt like I desperately wanted McMahon to kick the goal... the feeling after he kicked it was so... neutral. It was like we had just played a draw until I finally felt so bad that I realized, we had lost after we fought so hard for so long. And at that point it reminded me of the many past games in which we had lost in the dying seconds of the last quarter. There was so many of them, including a loss to the Kangas when Swallow kicked a match winner, and the one I remember most when Essendon beat us in Danihers last game... god that was emotional. Then I thought to myself how bad I felt after those loses, I remember being so upset that I could only wish that sorta thing never happened again... yet here I was today... embracing it.

After today I think I realized more then anything, how important winning is to the players at our club. I in no way at all think, we are tanking. We played to win today, regardless of some silly match-ups. Without the injuries we had and got during the game... Reality says, We would've won.

I sit here now and I can honestly tell you, I'm still happy with the loss. I want us to receive picks 1 and 2, but in the back of my mind, for the first time this year... I don't think it's going to happen. The way we played today, proved to me just how proud we really are, and regardless of what anyone says, they will be fighting to win this week against North. A very winnable game, I hope we lose but, I think we might win. I feel so bad wishing losses upon my own club but, I really want us to excel forward next year and Scully seems so good to me, he has me brainwashed. In my mind it seems we can't survive without Scully, when in reality, I know we can. We have a great list going forward and even though I may appear selfish when I say I want us to take the priority's... a wins a wins a win.

Priority picks are my first choice, I won't lie. But to the proud club I love and will forever support... winning is the best feeling of all. And sometimes, a little voice in the back of my head says... "**** the picks". Winning is what we play for, winning leads to premierships... and what do we want... exactly, A PREMIERSHIP!

You've got these factors...we are bottom, win-starved, playing Richmond, lose with a kick after the siren (in controversial circumstances) and yet I couldnt have cared less.

Something is terribly wrong.

Special mention goes to the man sitting near me that made me start pissing myself laughing...

The richmond bloke kicks the goal on the siren and i am thinking oh crap please go through etc - that McMahon is such a bad kick - OMG! it went through! - i decide to be discreet with a small fist pump down near my seat but that is all....i wanted to lose but that is enough...

I look up and the Richmond song is playing and a old bloke in a melbourne scarf is standing up and swinging his scarf screaming ala the Kevin Sheedy WC debacle...never seen a man so happy to lose lol

haha yeah that bloke was a classic

Firstly can i say, how are we helping the club if we turn on each other? This abusing and swearing at each other is far more upsetting then the position the club finds itself in. We do not need to agree with each other but respect that we all have a deep love for the club otherwise we probably wouldn't be on here.

WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR THE CLUB AND TO TASTE SUCCESS!

Now I believe we need the picks. Does it make watching us lose feel better, No! We are short of top end talent to take us forward. Yes we have potentials but we need to stock up while the chances are available.

Richmond came home last year with a wet sale winning the last 8 of 11 or something like that. What did finishing the season with confidence get them this year??

It was a weird feeling though i take enjoyment out of watching Petterd and Grimes stepping up to the mark. Watching Nevy Jetta having a crack.

Lets take what positives we can out of the remaining games, and refuse to turn on the Club, Coach, the players and more importantly each other. We do not need to become another Richmond!

Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we give to one another
for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we? could we?

Memories, may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

Whenever we remember the waaaaay weee were.

[Djcjdees]

[Logger]

You know what, this bloke is weaving therough the flak bursts of the AA guns, and I'm not sure if he wants to crash into the deck or put on an aerobatics display for the hell of it.

Still, he's flying well, whatever it is he's doing.

 

[Supermercado]

Quality troll. Enjoyed it.

What I always enjoy about that Jordan McMahon picture is a) his pissy little moustache that makes Dunn's look positively manly and b) the "this is the greatest moment of my life" expression on his face.

In other news Richmond are still no good either.
