TMac had 4 kicks, 2 handballs, 0 scores and 2 tackles. I mean, if Schache can't get subbed in for TMac at 3/4 time with those numbers what is the [censored] point of him?

Which one? All the reviews seemed correct tonight

Best side in it, can't win a final in two years 🤣🤣 Delusional

That's part of it! We broke the drought interstate while we couldn't leave Melbourne in front of a rentacrowd. It's all part of the curse.

Same old story isn't it?

For those playing at home Rivers, Langdon, May, Lever, Fritsch, Gawn, McVee

We tried early, didn't put enough goals on then it turned into a scrap. We just don't have any forward targets to bail us out and when we do we miss relatively regulation style set shots way too frequently.

100% TMac was useless last week and worse this week, Grundy could've surely offered something more. You then have the benefit of not being stuck with Schache (Schache!) as sub. Club wide choke from match committee to the captain to the bootstudder (yep even the bootstudder isn't escaping the vitriol tonight)

If Viney's kick goes over Weiterings head we win. He had an absolute nightmare of a finals series after the best year of his career 😞

@Super Sub Schache love the name change 🤣🤣 You gotta laugh or you'll cry We shot ourselves in the foot but [censored] hell that non decision to pay deliberate against Walsh then deliberate against Petracca a second later which they goal from, then a minute later the exact same thing happens where they toe it out of bounds on our forward 50 and it's a throw in I mean what the [censored]? That's the AFL in a nutshell, the rules are so subjective they can choose which ones to pay and which ones not to and they can always claim to be technically correct. I'm sick of it, watch Kozzie get suspended as well even though Cripps played out the game meanwhile Maynard is free to play and Gus misses 2 games the competition is completely [censored]. Wouldn't surprise me to see several others get cited too, Sparrow for slinging Walsh into the fence, Viney taking someone high, Smith for elbowing Weitering accidentally, May because he didn't roll out the red carpet for Curnow....

Lucky we selected an impact player as the sub FMD seriously what were they thinking. Bringing Hibberd on in the last could've been a shot in the arm, nah let's go with the softest player since Jack Watts who can't provide fresh legs cos he could only really sub in for TMac who was just as pathetic. This team are a bunch of chokers, can't win on the big stage. Won off Broadway when we had the crowd numbers because about 30k neutrals jumped on the bandwagon. I am filthy.

Disgusted Mentally soft Even the captain missing sitters Furious at that result, absolutely gutted

Another [censored] call, weak as [censored] comment

Give me a spell, that is a [censored] comment, what kind of supporter are you? Especially after the week we've had.

All these commentators including Garry Lyon can go and get [censored] trying to get Kozzie suspended - Maynard's allowed to KO brayshaw and they all back him in Kozzie bumps Cripps in the chest and the other [censored] flops from a jumper scuffle and they want to crucify him. This whole league can [censored] off.

We simply must win tonight, losing is not an option.

100 not out

How long has he been out of the league for? I didn't really like his playing style at the 9ers and thought they got lucky to make it as far as they did with him. No thanks, but not because of his politics.

A few off the top of my head Port - Powell-Pepper Dogs - does Toby McLean still play? If so, him. Freo - Schultz, the bar fridge Sydney - Papley Lions - Zorko Hawks - Sicily Dopers - Stringer

Other clubs supporters hate him because they think he's a flopper, chucks the ball, they hate his face and think he's arrogant. Not me I love him 💕

"The rookie!! The rookie!!"

That's a huge part of it but for me the disgust comes from the narrative that's been driven ever since the incident first happened. It's the complete whitewashing of the incident, the powerlessness to have your voice heard or do anything about it while the boys club just rolls on. And if course wrapped up in that is the complete lack of thought for the incident from the Brayshaw/MFC perspective. You feel completely marginalised as a club and it's infuriating.

Hunter too on Rozee. All split second decision making. It's a wonder how anyone will ever be suspended again 🤔

Me too Wayne, I did this over a year ago though. The only media I really engage with now is Demonland pod, Deebrief pod, Junktime pod (a comedy AFL podcast) and occasionally On The Couch, First Crack or 360 and I generally skip through most of those watching on delay to get to the Demons parts. 360 is a mess these days (probably already was) and I hardly watch any of that anymore. It's so much less angst listening to these pompous buffoons manufacture drama and push the AFL narrative. I've disengaged even from watching other games not involving Melbourne, I hardly watched Friday games this year and would check in with scores for other games and maybe catch the last 10 minutes if it was close. It's just not entertaining anymore and the corruption of the league ruins the enjoyment.

Someone posted it, I wouldn't pollute my mind watching it.
