Jaded No More

Viney could also win it. This is probably Trac's best chance at a Brownlow tho. Clarry is not taking his votes, and if he keeps slotting goals for the remainder of the season, while getting those high possession numbers, he could absolutely win it.

It makes finishing 7th or 10th basically irrelevant. Why not just make it a top 10? or a top 6? Hell lets have North and West Coast compete to make finals. The pre finals bye is there because teams going into finals desperately need it. Nobody finishing 7th wants to play yet another game to try and win the flag. You are basically ensuring that a team outside the top 6 will never win a flag again.

FMD this is such short sighted garbage from the media, as per usual. At 32, the days of Gawn dominating 20+ games a season or rucking solo are gone. What if he does an ACL tomorrow? What if we win the flag this year and he calls time on his career? Grundy has a 4 year contract, and will be the #1 ruckman for probably 3 of those years. While Trac, Viney and Clarry are doing what they are doing, we have to have a strong ruckman working with them to keep our window open. The club knows that, which is why they targeted a top quality ruck to come into the mix. Everyone just needs to CALM THE F DOWN.

Stop ruining our game for the sake of a bit of extra revenue. FFS! Putrid idea that makes a complete mockery of the sides who worked their butt off to make the 8.

The media is out in full meltdown arseclown mode. Grundy will be traded. We will have to pay his contract. This is a disaster. The world is ending. Nathan Buckley knows what he’s talking about because he won so many flags. Damien Barrett is a real man and not in fact a cockroach. Sigh

FMD the AFL is starting to really pee me off. Stop making a mockery of our sport with your rubbish money grabbing gimmicks! Can’t wait for North v West Coast to fight it out for a finals spot 🙄

Jason Taylor is a genius Me if he ever thinks of leaving the club…

Well done Juddy. One of the highlights of 2023 so far!

Thank god you’re back

And Geelong have Brisbane away, Port in Geelong and Pies at the G. Let’s hope they drop all 3.

We need Clarry updates. Anyone?

I think if Daniher wasn’t such a diving cheat to begin with, you’d probably just give him the benefit of the doubt. But he is a joke of a footballer when it comes to exaggerating contact. It’s a blight on the game.

I hope Brisbane crush them, and that Port and Pies do the same. I have had just about enough of that walking retirement village.

I really rate Adelaide. They have a good list and are building nicely. They move the ball very quickly and have a plethora of excellent forwards. They will come out breathing fire as they’re under the pump to win to keep their finals hopes alive. They also have Burgess who knows a thing or two about us.

Good to have you back. Any words of wisdom re: Clarry?

Yes. They play each other in round 24, and Hawks still play Richmond, Saints and Dogs down in Tassie. They could definitely win 2-3 more games. Freo might only win one more, against West Coast.

Come on Hawks. You can still overtake Freo!

The quickest way to die is to be rude to my dog 😂 Pets are like children, except better.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a star or bog ordinary, nobody, and I mean nobody, deserves to be personally abused. It was awful when Melbourne supporters did it, and nothing has changed now that Essendon supporters are doing it. People need to take a good hard look at themselves. If that was your kid copping this garbage, you’d be disgusted and heartbroken. Sam has always done his best. Football is a damn hard industry and not everyone succeeds. But most people don’t have the talent or the guts to even try. Those that do deserve the basic level of respect from the fat losers in the stands.

I love it. It’s hilarious.

If Richmond win tomorrow as expected, Freo are nicely cemented in the bottom 4

Is there a reason you want the Giants to lose? I don’t want a backs against the wall Adelaide next week.

Fat hack

Because they are not a side that has performed well in finals in the last decade. They had a terrible season last year and they seem to have found their mojo again. While they think they have top 2 in the bag, and they need a home final or they’ll fail again, the reality is that they don’t. They have some very tough games still to come, and flirting with form and getting absolutely smashed by a middle of the road side in the process, is not ideal preparation for finals. There’s a reason very few teams do that. Rest and manage 1 or 2 players, for sure, but the impact of changing a third of your side twice in two weeks is a big one. Now seems to be the time when the real contenders ramp things up. Port seems to be doing the opposite. If it works and they go on to win the flag, all power to them. But history suggests this doesn’t end well.
