What was the best win and what was the worst loss

Thought given it is the end of the season it would be interesting to find out what people thought was the best win and the worst loss for the season just gone.

Best win = Dreamtime

Worst loss = so many but the Gold Coast game, unforgivable to lose that one. Didn't turn up, showed the opposition no respect, the beginning of the end

Best win maybe GWS.

Worst loss probably WCE because they should have won it but crapped the bed and that was the beginning of the end for us.

Best win is beating the Cheats round 1.  :rollin
Close second was beating the drug Cheats at dream time.  :rollin

Worst loss was the last quarter v eagles which I think was the catalyst to our capitulation as we weren’t a chance for top four after that loss. I think it did something to the psyche of the team.
The club that keeps giving.

Best win was GWS given the team we fielded and the stakes at the time, and because I was there  :)

Worst loss - Gold Coast no doubt. Just shocking stuff.

Best win- beating Brisbane in Jack's big game.
Worst loss - The Gold Coast shocker - Dimma talked up our line in the sand type resolve and we turned out that rubbish.

Agree Goldie was a shocker, particularly after the coach publicly put it on the players.
Saints a week earlier was bad and Pies a week later was also horrible but Goldie was as bad as I’ve seen us play since 2016.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Dogs....previously unbeaten, shaping up as a flogging early then dominated them...and Dreamtime....run down in the last then got the lead back and blew them away...pity the season was all downhill after that.....have to say though seeing the  kids (and Jack) stand up in the last 10 mins v Hawthorn was as good as any win and the draw was actually the perfect result... :shh

Here's a first. I agree with the emperor.

that draw with the hawks was extraordinary. one point off finishing 9th.
might sound odd but the loss against port made me suspect something was off.
