Grand final baby - Our Parradise

[Mini In Bay 6]

I also put $100 on the team to win outright and got $340 win. Did anyone top that?
Note: That is only my 3rd gambling bet ever on those apps.

All my multis shat the bed. We scored too many goals.
I think i got over it when Cummings banged in number 4.

Way to scared to post this before Saturday night, as I didn’t want to jinx the team or have myself banned from this forum.
The misses and I were very hesitant to get tickets for this GF as previously we had watched the team lose the first 3 GFs live.
When they won 10 years ago we were watching the GF over in London via a VPN.

So glad we got tickets and witnessed an incredible result for our team and had a brilliant night. Our GF hoodoo has vanished. Well done CCM. Love you forever.

I go for the reverse psychology bets. To ensure we win i put a couple of dollars on the opposition. I had a small wager on Adelaide in each leg of the semi final and i put a couple of dollars on Melbourne in the GF. Works everytime?

I missed a $1k win because Tulio didn’t score
My missus won $220 (on the multi I made for her)

This GF was the ultimate hoodoo breaker, you, JP and Bloodbeard all now in the clear!

Loved every single second of that.

Monty. Inspirational, motivational, everyone in a tight group. A team.

Rado. Yelling at half time, berating, and gets no reaction. Players looking at the ground. We won the game at half time with that body language.

Our fans spectacular
Their plastic fans having a go at the team at full time

These clubs couldn't be any more different and I'm glad I'm on the right side.

I'm not crying, you're crying ??

100%
Our boys went to another level seeing all of us there for them, it warms my poor yellow navy heart seeing our support genuinely move the players to perform so historically well in the big dance. Seeing more footage of the back room staff so emotional too, guys like Pat Tatum. I’ve known him my entire life and I’ve never seen him that happy, ever.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I also noticed that in the All Access from the Adelaide game the other week where Adelaide looked like they already lost and wanted the game to end at halftime.

Most notable to me was the City pre-match discussions vs the CCM one (granted this is only what we saw, and therefore may have been edited a certain way in hindsight):

Monty: This is what we’ve dreamed of for the past 10 months, let’s go out there and enjoy ourselves.

vs

Rado: We’ve been the best team all season, tonight is the night to finish the job and uphold your level of excellence.

Jamieson: Just win. Be motherf**ing killers!

This indicates City were too focused on the outcome at the neglect of the process.

*EDIT* Watching back again, Jamieson literally says in the huddle that it is NOT about emotion (adding a “trust me” for the younger blokes) and NOT about enjoyment- it’s only about winning. About being cold-hearted f**king killers.

I have never coached or run a football club, but maybe if CFG focused on recruiting the best players and staff who bring those first two qualities, playing like cold hearted f**king killers (like their opponents did on Saturday night, ironically) would come more easily- and the high pressure spoils to go with it?

*EDIT*

Am I the only one who thinks that Jamieson when he gets fired up (like in that huddle) looks uncannily like Daniel Stern?

"No emotion. Just business" that kind of ethos is what CFG stands for and is everything that is wrong with modern football. What is sport, football specifically without emotion and passion?

Monty said to JC just make sure you're back here in 2 years...

 

[LFCMariners]

Hopefully the UCL Final has a similar outcome. Seeing two CFG projects crash and burn in the same week would be amazing...

Just picked up the championship scarf and championship elite jersey replica

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Jerseys already sold out in everything bigger than Nisbet.

Surely they'll be doing more.....

 

[BrisRecky]

cracking quote from a WINNING POD !

 

[Insertnamehere]

Oh man f**king loved the latest All Access. CFG, Corporate Funless Gangsters. Zero enjoyment football. Scam results by just hoovering the best players they can. Zero care about developing a club. No wonder they've got a couple hundred fans.

Thank God.

If we lost, my family was going to implement a life ban ?

Yep, just ordered

 

[Ozhammer]

The jerseys have been relisted for purchase but only until next Friday, so don’t delay if you want one. Not sure why the club didn’t make them pre-order from the start but at least anyone that wants one can now get one in the size they need.
