Jaded No More

Never said otherwise. Just wondering if you had any inside info since you keep saying watch this space 😂 You also never said who you think Dunstan should replace in the team.

A good effort but disappointing to lose it with poor defending. Still what an effort and Kerr is a star!

Too important for our attack from half back.

If Rivers can develop the tank, he could be an elite wingman.

Because of our injuries. It’s not like they went on to win the flag. All I’m saying is that Brisbane should beat the Pies given their outs. If they don’t then Brisbane really shouldn’t be considered a contender.

This season has lost the plot

I don't think we will play Gawn as an interceptor down back until finals. We did too much last year and it was worked out and planned for by opposition sides. Much like Kosi playing on ball, I reckon we will only see glimpses of it until September. Can't let all the rabbits out now.

Pies have pulled up stumps on the H&A season, which on the one hand is fair as they can ill afford more injuries, but on the other hand is a worry because they are flirting with already pretty mediocre form. If Brisbane smash them, that gives them a psychological edge when/should they meet in finals. If Pies win without Moore, Daicos and De Goey then you can just about put a line through the Lions.

For what?

What for? And who for? He is a poor user, slow, and can only play one very specific role.

He said it in reference to Marchbank claiming he touched it. Basically “yeah I tell the defenders to do the same”. You really think other clubs don’t? Carlton are happy to lie and so is every other club.

Great news re: Fritta There is life in that forward line of ours afterall

If you don’t turn up this week to cheer this man on, then when will you?!

We will get up for Max’s 200th this weekend. Hawks are a threat because they play like they have nothing to lose. Saturday’s loss will burn the players and I’m sure they’ll come out hard. After two poor first quarters in a row, I hope we put a lot of emphasis on coming out strong in the first quarter. We need to let the Hawks know early that we aren’t another contender they can push around.

Or even Kosi if Clarry was running on fumes at that stage. A bizarre decision not to go hard to start the last quarter, and an even worse one to put Trac on Cripps. Needed to put a defensive mid on him, like Gus or Viney. If the FD had their time again I also don't think they play Grundy, but we had to find out one way or another.

Richmond play their final home game this weekend. Not sure Reiwoldt and Cotchin want to play their last game in Adelaide. Fair enough too. They'll get a big crowd this weekend to celebrate them.

Karma is a [censored]. It’ll come back around to bite them.

It’s the clear lying for me 🙄

Are you kidding about Clayton? He had game high tackles, clearances, and pressure acts in a game that was all about pressure and contest. We didn’t lose because he played! In fact, I’d argue that we lost because he started the last quarter on the bench while we let Cripps twice walk out the front of the clearance, leading to Carlton scoring. I don’t have time to go through every one of your posts where you take a literal dump on our club and players. The post I quoted was just the first one I found where you state how much better the other clubs are, in spite their weaknesses, yet you can never admit that our weaknesses are no worse than any other contender. Your [censored] take above about Clarry unbalancing us and helping us lose, is literally the most laughable one yet. I think you’re right, ignore it is. Enjoy being miserable watching us win games of football. You were after all the first one to come in here and gloat that you were right. About as right as that goal umpire 🙄

A literal giant of the game. The best ruckman of the last decade and one of the all time greats. A brilliant captain, a brilliant club person and someone you are really proud to call your own. Everyone loves big Max and he’s given us 200 bloody brilliant games. From the hilarious to the downright insane. Kicking goals to win is a minor premiership, kicking goals to get us into a grand final, and holding that cup after 57 long years. Well done on 200 heart and soul games. Jimmy knew you were special and you’ve shown us all why! Here is to more AA jackets, more giant babies and most importantly more premiership medallions!

And Fritsch as a result of trading Watts to Port It worked out alright 😉

Hewett with 9 votes… Oliver had more clearances, more tackles, more pressure acts and more meters gained… after 10 weeks off, and got 0 votes I call BS!

As captain no less… or is that role reserved for Selwood?

He had high impact, but he didn't impact often enough. Still achieved more than the Watts, so credit to him.
