Jaded No More

Any defenders from the best defence in the league? I mean come on Hawks, Freo and Essendon with 3 players. Melbourne with 2. Tom Stuart ahead of Lever and May? FMD what a joke.

I wouldn't say no, but I also wouldn't go in selling him the world, because the reality is he probably won't get a regular gig in our senior side, and he will at about 15 other clubs.

He’s turning 32 tomorrow and has 12 months of rehab. Can’t see him coming back at 34. It just won’t happen.

I’d like him to play in the ruck on top of Smith’s shoulders

So he took 10 years off my life for NO REASON AT ALL

Look away now. Prelim cat 1 tickets are $200

Horrible. My heart goes out to him and Dunstan. Football gives and it takes away so quickly. Just awful!

Omg it’s his birthday tomorrow. Poor thing what a shocking “present”.

So technically we should be getting ours at 10am? I am getting on a plane in the afternoon and am responsible for 5 tickets. It’s very stressful.

After the heartbreak of missing out in 2021 because of Covid, I’m just happy to be able to go! Thursday sucks but for finals I’ll make it happen.

While Gawn, Trac, Clarry and Fritta all sat on the bench for at least the last 8 minutes. Gawn was only on the ground for 74% of the game. Viney 75%, Trac and Clarry only 80%. That we won when I saw Rivers and Hunter take centre bounces and JVR and Smith did so much of the ruck work just shows you how incredibly balanced we are across the ground and how easily we can switch on and crush sides.

Number of flags won this decade - Melbourne 1 😂

Yes they did. Barcodes will get sent today.

They literally said he won’t play week one. He hasn’t even started running yet.

He really is a nuffy. He does understand that every club has members with a finals guarantee doesn’t he? The reality is there will be more Pies fans there if this game goes to general admission sales. But it likely won’t.

Because he’s too lazy to check how finals ticket allocation is handled? 😂

I didn’t watch any of the Casey game but I’m so concerned about Tmac’s lack of agility and speed. I really thought he needed to play against Sydney so we can see what his movement is like. However it seems he’s the only option now Personally I’m making Smith sub again. Tmac and Laurie in (Laurie was instrumental in moving the ball inside 50 in the last. Essentially played the Spargo role but better). I would also consider Hibbo for Turner against the Pies smaller forwardline but understand that’s unlikely as we want the 3 talls down back. At least with Smith as sub it allows us to play him back or forward if Tmac or Turner are struggling. In: Laurie Tmac Our: Melksham Smith sub: Smith

Someone at HQ who possibly won’t hate us. Great news.

Because channel 7 has Gil by the balls is how. They want 3 nights of prime time TV.

Just lucky we didn’t cop a concussion today. You’d be frothing at the mouth if we lost Trac to one and had 11 days to play the Pies.

They ruled Daicos out already. He’s two weeks off from even running. Will be lucky to play the prelim.

Which was an odd choice from Horse given the form Rivers has been in

Watch them release all tickets at the same time for all games and have the site crash immediately. If we get equal allocation they should do a staggered release to avoid this level of angst.

Two of the AFL’s darlings playing each other. How will Gil rig this to get both Sydney and Carlton into the grand final? 🙄

Howe will play back IMO. Especially if Moore isn’t 100%. Could be wrong. I think there’s definitely room for Hibbo. May will take McStay. Beyond that I have no idea. Their forwardline is annoying. It’s mediocre but also hard to match up on. Elliot is my biggest worry.
