Jaded No More

Yze is a fantastic coach. Tactically and also managerially. Few coaches would have done better with the list they currently have. Compare to North under Clarkson who have a far more talented list. I only watched the last 10 minutes and it was a horrible horrible game. But winning ugly is better than losing pretty. Credit to Richmond they defended their lead well.

They’re extremely young and they’ve had a much better season than anyone expected. A win is a win when you’re in a rebuild. Credit to Yze.

I asked how is he still watching and he replied with “why am I still supporting this team is the better question” 😂

One of my best mates is an Essendon man, and he just texted our footy group chat to say that this is the worse game he’s ever seen. That’s saying something when you’re an Essendon supporter.

Joke’s on you, I don’t watch footy that doesn’t involve Melbourne anymore. So as far as I’m concerned, Geelong and Pies are battling it out for the spoon.

Yze looking impressive with his marking, but he has not been blessed with his dad’s goal kicking skills.

And one of the nicest humans you’ll ever meet. An absolute disgrace that he’s never won a Brownlow.

Unlikely if he has Covid. I think the rules changed a bit since the pandemic. Of course I’m sure those rules only apply to Collingwood and Geelong 🙄

I’m not sure where Laurie is at, but surely it’s not at Melbourne next season. I don’t mind persisting with Jeffo and Kolt, we need to make a lot of list management decisions in the next year, and we can’t make them without giving players exposure. I would love to see Windsor back to a wing and Langford/Lindsay spending more time in the middle, with Viney playing a defensive forward role.

Thank you as always @Ghostwriter and @Dannyz 👌 I know who I trust, and it’s most certainly not the media

It will be hard to excuse, considering we owe them from round 2, it's our home ground, they are missing maybe their best 2 players, and we have added May, Melksham and Turner into the side since round 2. I also can't imagine Gawn will have as poor a game as he did in round 2. Losing this is not an option.

As far as I am aware only West Coast are interested in him, with the McQualter connection. So it would be rather ironic if he's worried about the direction of the club, and then heads to West Coast who are hot garbage. Of course Freo may have shown recent interest. He's also in a relationship with one of our AFLW players, who I am pretty sure is a Tassie girl. So how will that work if he moves back home? It all sounds a bit suss. Is he just trying to extort us for more money?

To be fair, the two posters who said Judd has re-signed have very good track record of posting solid info and not total BS. They most definitely have a better track record than Tom Morris!

You’d love it… until Kosi does an ACL. No thank you.

Wonder if @Dannyz has anymore info to share? Much more trustworthy than most of these try hard journalists

We didn’t have May in round 2. I expect him to do a good job on Larkey. Turner a backup option, who also didn’t play round 2.

JJ is an average footballer, who was happily traded for more reasons than just his average footballing.

Worst still, is our own supporters are using these lies to pile on and get stuck into Lever's character!

Of course money helps, but you think Freo wouldn't have paid him well? how about West Coast? St Kilda? Essendon? There are loads of clubs who could have matched if not exceeded what we are giving Kosi, but he chose to stay after every men and their dog said he's gone. Bedford is the only lesser light we've lost who has gone on to become a good player, and he didn't leave for any reason other than wanting more game time. It's a shame we lost him, but these things happen all the time at every club. I have no idea if Judd stays or goes, but if he does choose to go, it's not a reflection of a club that is falling apart and who can't hold onto its players. It's simply a case of a player wanting to go home. It happens every year at every club.

Seriously! The only player we’ve lost under Goody that we desperately wanted to keep was Jackson… and he’d walk back thru the door in a heartbeat if given the chance. He was a silly kid who made a poor decision under family coercion. With zero proof people talk about mass exodus and players wanting out, when the cold hard facts are that under Goodwin we have managed to keep our entire core group together, and re-sign are young players. How quickly they all forget that Kosi has just re-signed, one of the hottest properties in football, who had every reason to head home. I thought it was only Morris who enjoys making up negative stories about our club, but it’s our supporters too!

Morris making up rubbish again… When will people learn???

It’s unsurprising that the same posters who just love to pile on players at every opportunity, continue to take the word of gutter weasel Tom Morris, on literally everything, no matter how many times he’s proven to be a flat out liar! Have a good look at yourselves and take stock of your Melbourne supporting life. Good god.

Oh god Tom Morris is bored again. God help us.

Mid week tackle also said Kosi is leaving. I’m not saying Judd has signed, but let’s stop taking these journalists seriously. There’s a tiny handful worth their weight, these clowns are not it. Judd isn’t entertaining other offers, so what is he doing? Consulting his spiritual healer? Lever got dropped and they were like, 1+1 is 3. Please. They’re laughable.

It must be the 9 meter gap between man and ball
