Jaded No More

I’ve seen enough to know we aren’t trying to win

Fritta on the bench?

Pro Sydney umpires on full display

My favourite umpire 🙄

Exactly

I knew they wouldn’t risk Papley

Laurie is a definite as he was posted in photos by the club at the captains run.

Because he’s not a small forward and has nothing to do with those 3? 🤷‍♀️

So who covers May? And can we win it without Gawn? I know we can but it’s a risk not worth taking IMO Richmond had a whole season basically to adjust to Rance being out. Very different if he does the knee in round 23.

I agree that we can win anywhere. What we can’t do is cover key injuries. Nobody can. So I’m all about winning but not at the cost of self preservation.

You don’t need an injury to sub off now. Tactical sub. The tactic is we don’t want our best players injured before finals.

Smallest hint of injury and I’ll be on the floor hyperventilating

If we know we are playing Thursday, I’d give the AFL the big FU they deserve and make as many late changes as possible. For one I would pull May out. If he gets injured or concussed we are in big trouble.

Couldn’t care less if we win or lose (of course I don’t want to get smashed), as long as we don’t get injuries. A healthy list is the most important factor in winning a flag in September.

Sunday means that whoever plays there will potentially have a short turnaround for the following week.

He is 29. Chances of him winning a flag with North are close to zero.

Which is exactly what should happen. They scheduled 5 potential finals teams on a Sunday for round 24 to maximize viewership. That’s on them. Play 3 games on Saturday or one on Sunday. I don’t care. You cannot possibly disadvantage a side with 11 days turnaround and have a 12 day concussion protocols.

Is there? Make it one of the elimination finals then. Top 4 should be Friday and Saturday nights. End of story.

Ask yourself this: Would Grundy have any interest in North? The answer is NO

I despise them

Why do we need to play any game on Thursday? Friday, Sat day, Sat twilight, Sat night. At least two finals will likely be interstate so it’s an easy solution.

As they should be when finals is on the line! Last week was a disgrace. They are a soft club.

Or Simpson knows he’s gone and is gifting the Eagles wins 😂

Players are humans. They must feel really flat and unmotivated after last week. Nothing to play for.

These two sides look like they would rather be napping than playing finals In fairness I’ve watched 5 minutes of this game 😂
