Jaded No More

No real Bye again is a load of BS!

It’s a much better fixture than last year but FFS Geelong in Geelong. How do we agree to this BS every year????

At this rate the AFL will release the full fixture on Christmas Day. Can't let Santa have all the attention!

Anyone know what’s the go with May?

Best of luck to him. They have a lot of classy mids so perhaps he will reinvent his role.

When are they releasing rounds 2-15?

I wonder where Oliver is. Hopefully he is fit.

Ruckman are always a risk. Rarely do they go early in the draft (Jackson and NicNat are exceptions), and you can get a good one at pick 30, or pick 103. Nobody at 18 at 200cm and 9kgs soaking wet is going to show much more than some baby giraffe like athleticism. You gotta keep taking punts on these guys and see how they turn out. Low risk but high reward type stuff. We have had decades of being blessed with really phenomenal ruckman from Stynes all the way to Gawn and now Grundy. That doesn't mean we have to have another one in the ranks, as many teams have won flags with ordinary ruckman. It's just about how you play it.

The haircuts on these kids are truly mortifying. What’s happened to humanity?

At least there’s no go home factor

These infants make me feel so old. He looks 12.

Daisy is an absolute star. What she has done for women’s footy will go down in history.

Well done girls. Beautifully played. Absolutely hard at it and determined. So proud of these ladies. Back to back for the mighty Dees!

Come on ladies!

Absolute trash umpiring now

It looked like the ball hit the ground first on the replay. At the end of the day she needed to pass it to a free teammate in the square. It was poor awareness and great play for Brisbane. They are a fantastic team.

Seems illogical given the massive shortage of quality umpires. Are you going to make umpires cover more games per week, or are we just going to add more rookie umpires to be crucified out there?

Does that mean the season will start a week earlier? When does the fixture get released? It used to be October. I assume this garbage has delayed it.

Excited to open my package today. It arrived yesterday but I’ve been overseas on a business trip. Have they sent the scarves this year too so we no longer need to pick them up at the G?

Worth every cent. One of the greatest talents to ever pull on the red and blue.

Probably will if he goes back to the old strategy of kick no scores.

LOL. St Kilda is such an embarrassment.

You are not wrong. I apologize for forgetting him. He was spectacular in that third quarter.
