Jaded No More

Yep, but because it’s May/ a Melbourne player he will cop 4 weeks. My disgust with the AFL grows stronger every day. I’m certain that if Melbourne ceased to exist I would never watch another game of footy ever again.

May sent to tribunal. Absolute joke.

Who you dropping to make room?

AJ is a VFL star

I’m with you on that. I know we want to win games, but likewise if we keep losing the same way you’re not moving forward. Rivers spent a lot of time training with the mids in the pre season. Yes we’ve had injuries which meant he needed to cover down back, but why not bring Howes in to play his attacking half back role and give him midfield time in the next 4 games? Let him attend some centre bounces, and some stoppages and see if he can take that next step as an inside mid. His body is certainly up for it from a physically stand point, which might not be the case as you say for Lindsay and Langford. Likewise I would love to see Chin get more time up the ground. Why not swap him with Viney? Why not go crazy and try Bowey at half forward since we skills going inside 50 are god awful? We have 4 miserable games left this season. I appreciate Goody saying he doesn’t want to waste time, well doing the same thing every week is wasting time. I don’t think supporters care if we win or lose now, but they would love to see some balls to wall type moves to spark something. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. But if it does, we can take some away from this miserable season.

Salem was very good. One of the better games he’s played and he was actually damaging by foot, which is one thing I’ve really struggled to accept with him this year. He’s been kicking nothing sideways dinky kicks, which aren’t damaging and just inflating his stats. Kosi spent most of the second quarter rotting at FF for some ridiculous reason, but when he’s near the ball he’s just electrifying. One of the few players who can turn a [censored] into gold.

Pickett with 5 goals and 23 touches has to be the player of the game. That is insane level output for a forward mid hybrid.

He had 15 kicks versus 11 handballs and went at 77% efficiency. He was definitely better with his ball use. Did well in a head to head battle with Cripps. Both had almost identical stats. Funny how 26 touches and 7 clearances is seen as such a nothing game for him. Not many mids get those numbers every week.

What will happen Out: May, Tholstrup In: Petty, Sparrow What I want to happen and won’t Out: May, Tholstrup, Sharp In: Adams, Howes, Sestan Adams to FB, Howes and Sestan to half back, Rivers to midfield, Bowey to half forward

Needs some time at Casey. This level of output can’t be helping him progress.

The irony is that at Casey his kicking is the best part of his game. I think it’s a lack of confidence and nerves. He is actually quite skilled for a big guy. Kosi is basically the only player in our team who I want touching the ball from anywhere 65m-5m out from goal.

It’s all about confidence. He tries so hard and to his credit his attacked that contest, took a good pack mark and kicked the goal when the game was there to be won. He’s played 6 games, one of which he was subbed off in the first quarter with a broken hand. The season is done, what’s the use of not giving him exposure at this level? He’s contracted and he will be at the club next year, so let’s see what he can do with more confidence. That last mark and goal would be massive for his belief.

AFL is unwatchable. [censored] this joke of a competition.

The AFL is such a disgusting organization How many games ruined by umpires who should get sacked for utter incompetence

[censored] these umpires

Kosi is single-handedly keeping me from burning my eyes out with acid

God this season can’t be more painful.

The work inside 50 is a circus

Embarrassing to let this joke of a team that can’t beat a wet paper bag carry on like they’ve won a flag. Disgusting

Kosi is worth the price of admission.

Kosi rotting at FF while we struggle to win or move the ball is a joke. I understand he kicks goals, but he also creates them. We need him back in the middle to cause some chaos. We aren’t winning anymore with Viney Trac and Clarry in the same midfield. Put Harvey in there, Chin, anything different to try and spark a bit of meaningful movement with the ball. Hell put Salem into the midfield. We literally have nothing to lose. Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity, and I’m going insane.

Absolutely unacceptable. Ball use, decision making, comical errors. We look a side that has no idea what we are doing, and when we finally get the ball we drop a steaming [censored] in our pants

Kill me Watching this is like clawing your eyes out with a blunt spoon

Our ball use is embarrassing

Jesus that’s unacceptable Jeffo
