Jaded No More

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.

Very risky playing with form like that IMO.

The sickening love for that side from the media makes me want to vomit. They have been bog ordinary this year. Let’s see how they go against Brisbane, Port and Pies.

Even if the first two were injured, which is definitely possible, why would you make 7 changes, four of which are unforced? Seems idiotic and it was.

Same. Hit him in the head. Not a good look.

Don’t think so but I might be wrong.

Nauseating.

WHY WON’T GEELONG JUST DIE?!

Now we need Essendon and Geelong to draw and Geelong to sustain 7-10 season ending injuries. Easy.

Now they have to bring everyone back because they can’t afford this limp display against the Pies. A strange time to do this. It feels to me like Hinkley is on a hiding to nothing. He basically has to win the flag or he’s gone. They went so hard early because another so so start to the season and he’d get sacked. I wonder how much his fear of sacking is impacting their plan for the season.

It’s not. I just wanted to tag you in the post so you see it 😂 I am genuinely interested to know what you think Port will do for the remainder of the H&A season to make sure they hit peak form in September. I feel like they’ve gone too hard too early and tinkering now is very risky.

I’m interested in your thoughts on how you think Port is going to “load” manage from here.

Please. I’ll be watching a movie and drinking wine to avoid watching them play.

They’ve beaten Gold Coast, Freo and Hawks. Let’s calm down. This is a good win, but Port absolutely cocky to drop this many players for a rest and think they’ll waltz it in. Rubbish call.

Correct. Geelong still have to play Brisbane in Brisbane, Port and Pies. If they’re to overtake us we need to lose 2-3 more games and realistically they have to win every game.

Port got cocky resting so many players this week. They’ve gone hard early in the season because Hinkley is under so much pressure. But the reality is, it could come back and bite them. July premiers do not September premiers make.

I feel the same about Charlie Dixon. Chain smoking tradie who has a four and twenty pie and a can of coke pre game.
