Can we give these jumpers a rest? Melbourne has no white in our colours but we decided to bring this in because of an apparent need to clash with Geelong's jumper.

The only thing you need to know about this thread is that Thurs night footy sucks, the end.

6. Viney 5. Lever 4. Brayshaw 3. Oliver 2. Petracca 1. Langdon Game was a pile of crap.

BTW I love the kid but if bucket loads of money are to be thrown at him for performances like tonight then it's a risk.

Well it now becomes about getting the best deal for him.

Never a post wasted on this thread, good job!

Likely need to wait on scans, fingers crossed.

*Conjecture* Both teams looked cooked, couple that with 5 day breaks. Games just aren't going to be of good standard at this time of year.

I can never tell with hand injuries, sometimes they're 2 x weeks and sometimes 5.

As soon as this happened I felt physically ill. Sick burn Bayley, he's just not seeing anyone in that 50 right now..

What can I say? I completely expected this result. Two teams coming off a 5 day break, one plays a real physical and grueling game over in Adelaide, the other has a bruise free training run at this very ground. One forward line struggling, the other buzzing. Advantage Cats. Throw the loading theory in there for both teams and you've got one lacklustre standard of game. I'll get this out of the way. A lot of people like Thursday night football for some reason. I know it's harder for some to fill the time in their pitiful lives themselves so we need to create this new shiney object called Thurs night footy so all these drones are happy. Well as a result of this and crappy fixturing, the game of the year turned out to be anything but. Geelong looked that bit slicker in the end. We did start with a bang but the moment Bowser gave up that holding the ball we were in for a night of crappy, crappy decision making and execution. So many skills can be put down to fatigue it's not funny. Please no-one act like we were 'a bit off for some reason'. You know the reason, it's obvious. I couldn't give a rat's ar*e about this result tonight and the little boost it will give those nitwits down the highway. We were so crap tonight and still kept the twin towers to 1 goal. You think they will beat us with midfield and smalls goals again? Ha! We had a lot of crap performers, let's not hide from that. May was garbage early, was literally a coach killer. His influence is nothing when he's not performing. Gawn was not good, I'm not a doctor but I wasn't thrilled about him coming back early. Salem was crap, one of his most wayward kicking games. Spargo was down, Bedford was non-existent, Bowey very average. It felt like half our side was Under12s players chasing the footy and when they hit a target once in a blue moon you felt so proud. To the positives, Pickett worked his socks off. Honestly thought he'd nailed that shot but I don't think we would have won regardless. Viney and Clarry worked hard. Petracca took his chances, the backline held firm I thought Lever and Petty did their bit. Brayshaw is some player now. As of right at this minute he's the one I want to retain. Thought Jordan was crap. Thurs night football stinks, if you like it then more power to you. I'm gonna go sleep in a cave for 9 days or whatever it is till our next game.

Bummer I just told everyone here that Rd 17 was our loss to the Dogs before going on the run. Total nitwit.

When does the loading stop?

Never seemed like a good idea

That's game Hendrix

Cats break the arm wrestle deadlock

Holding on Langdon

Hang tough Melbourne

Binned it, in with a shout

Dob it Trac

Fritsch burned Langdon hard there

No-one laying a glove on Hawkins there

Geelong have been that bit better

We definitely look second best and heading to a defeat.
