Jaded No More

Can confirm my Swan supporting friend said they cannot.

It smells like the Essendon pre game in here. I am not saying we will lose. But I am saying that I hope our players aren’t waking up today thinking they’re on vacation.

That is not the vibe I get. It’s about getting maximum return for a player we spent pick 3 on and also laughing at Freo after they tried to screw us.

How are they in such a bad position with injuries for the third year in a row? It’s not just bad luck. It’s bad management.

Yes

To be fair, is anyone watching West Coast vs Gold Coast anytime?

I’m very loud…. 😂 We will go gate 1. And then I’ll hear my dad complain that we should never play away games at the G because he needs his reserved seat. It’s gonna be great.

I hate sitting behind the goals. If we got M12 thru gate 5 will that be close enough? 😂

@WalkingCivilWar what end will the cheer squad be down? I want to figure out where to sit in general admin.

I sincerely hope our president spends less time on Demonland during work hours than I do...

Great minds think alike...

To be fair, we had very little options down back. Frost is not a bad defender, he's just terrible once he wins the contest.

As he should. Not sure how he and Frost are in any way comparable.

And this is why he isn't playing seniors yet.

Other than the Carlton Dogs game, Saturday is going to be a day of one sided thrashings IMO. And yes I am backing Sydney to smash Freo. Season on the line for both, but Freo have Swans, Cats and then Us. They are done already.

Why the hell would you boo him? WE traded him, and ended up with a FAR better FB who is playing his 200th this week. Is any Melbourne supporter really upset that he isn't on our list anymore? Save your energy for the ROOOOOOOO please.

I agree. But then who does he replace in the lineup? And don’t say Sparrow because we both know that won’t happen.

JJ already played that role for the majority of last season. And then we went and got Hunter. So that’s a slap in the face to him. I think Hunter is very underrated around here. Not only is he a very experienced player who is very smart, his ball use is generally really good. He also has a massive tank and has given Langdon the opportunity to take much needed breaks during games. That will pay off heavily come finals. I think long term JJ could take that role, but at 23 he wants to play now and he deserves to. Hunter has 4+ seasons left in him. JJ isn’t waiting around for that. The other problem of course is that I think JJ could make a fine half back flanker, but that position is so heavily filled already and that’s without Salem even playing yet. JJ is the perfect 23rd player to have because he is actually a really good footballer who can play a number roles and execute them well. But he has every right to want to be a best 22 player and there are about 10 sides I reckon he would walk into and never miss a game.

Frost used to give me nightmares. I still very occasionally watch Hawks game and experience elevated heart rate when I see him near or with the football. Russian Roulette.

Spargo is critical to our ability to move the ball inside 50. I know people don’t rate him that highly. He’s in the low possession high impact category, but he isn’t a spectacular player like Kosi so people aren’t enamored with him. But he is one of the best players at two way running and delivering the ball inside 50 that we have. He also allows Kosi to spend more time in the middle which I love. I think we all feel JJ is hard down by. I am too. But then I think who goes if he stays, and I can’t come up with an obvious answer. Sparrow is a more dynamic player and he is a battering ram which allows Viney to have a rest. I also thought he was better against GC than JJ. JJ does everything well but nothing spectacular and maybe that’s the problem. In a top team with a midfield full of spectacular footballers, you’ll always have players hard done by. Where else would Dunstan get 40+ touches a week at Casey and then not get a game? It’s frankly ludicrous. I feel for him too as his career doesn’t have the prospects that JJ’s career does. I know JJ will go elsewhere and play 200 games. It’s almost a no brainer. On a side note, I hope we sign Chandler up soon. The last of my must signs for this year.

He has to play for GC. The biggest punishment of all.
