Jaded No More

This is 100% an attitude problem. Nobody is trying hard.

A wonderful start

Smith our best defender by a mile. Lever and May are panic merchants and Bowey having a shocker.

Can’t remember the last time I was this angry about a quarter of football.

The lack of pressure and intent is embarrassing

[censored] this

Ball use is embarrassing

I can’t wait for Oliver to come back I can’t believe this is what we’ve delivered

Embarrassing. Really really embarrassing

North like Hawks have nothing to lose. This is as soft a performance as I’ve seen from us.

JJ so soft. This is really embarrassing.

Putrid. This is the sort of unacceptable rubbish that I was worried about. We look asleep and disinterested

A collection of F graders doing as they please. Well done Melbourne. You are asleep.

Steven May has got to stop kicking it out of FB. I am so over his putrid ball use

Harmes is killing my soul

Come on Dees wake up

How many more years do I have to watch that hack destroy us?! 😡

I’ve had a knee fracture and 15 years later I’m still not back to peak fitness 😂

Daicos out for 6 weeks with a hairline fracture

Yeah he flew over with basically the rest of the list since Casey have a bye. Do you want him to stay in the hotel during the game? 😂

It still shocks me that so many posters on here don’t believe in us at all, but will back Pies to the bitter end

Because a drop off in form that inevitably comes with loading, is not something you want in the lead up to finals. Loading also increases the risk of injury. Another thing you don’t want in August. Pies were very comfortable inside the top 4 in the middle of the year. I think they loaded around that time, when they had a poor game against West Coast (only kicking away in the last) and lost to us and then barely beat a rampant Adelaide who kicked 7 against them in the third quarter. They aren’t loading now. They are just feeling the impact of their unsustainable game plan. Unlike us they don’t have a defensive mode. They can’t revert to a slog when required. They don’t know how to play any other way and you only need to be a bit off and a bit mentally tired for it all to fall apart.

Is it even Demonland if we don’t worry about losing to North?

The media has created a situation where this poor kid can’t win. They made us all believe he’s the best player on planet earth and not in fact a 20 year old in his second season who is bound to have poor games. I feel bad for him. Pies will need to manage his mental well being carefully

If we stuff this up I will cry
