Jaded No More

What a nice freebie from the umpire.

What is May’s deal? Worst defender today.

Yep is his knee buggered or is he not interested?

No Oliver no Melbourne

May is in some putrid form

Big trouble here if Lever is out. We look woeful. Oliver is so far ahead of any of our other players it’s not even funny. He makes everyone better. Especially Trac!

We look disinterested

We look worlds away from the side that won the flag last year. We are slow, indecisive, poor by foot.

Lucky the game is not at the MCG. Given the weather we would lose about $100k with maybe 15,000 in attendance.

Means nothing if you don’t win the flag. Much easier to finish top 4 when you get basically 10 easy wins at a ridiculous ground only you know how to play at every single year. I will never support the theory that Geelong are genuinely still good. Never. [censored] them all to hell!!!!!!

Genuinely disgraceful from North. Where has this been all year? Gotta feel for Noble.

Pies just getting lucky. Can’t wait to see them get destroyed in finals.

Freo are in a premiership window. Why would they give up their best mid and most important player for a developing ruck? That would be a really stupid move that would make them a worse side. It just won’t happen unless Brayshaw demands a trade, which considering he’s in contract seems unlikely.

I also think Melksham must be in to play a very specific role

I am not thrilled with these selections but I trust the coaches. They’ve done a good job the last two season.

He’s not Oliver tho

I feel a loss coming on. We just lost our best player and most consistent defender.

Welcome to Demonland. I bet my bottom dollar that whoever controls the social media passwords at Melbourne is a closet Demonlander who posts photos and then comes on here to read the mass hysteria with a bucket of popcorn.

No photos of Gus on Insta today. Clearly gone. Do you think our social media team is just posting content that they think will get likes maybe?

They are not moving Gus into the middle. They will bring in Dunstan to cover his place.

This thread is getting more and more ridiculous by the day. I love it.

Well I have very little confidence that we can win this game now. Oliver is by far our most important and best player.

Would have him in a second. Sadly I can’t see how we can afford it and I also don’t think he would want to uproot his family for 1-2 years.

As they say, the fish rots from the head. Noble is a tiny piece in a big puzzle of horse [censored]. No coach will come into North and succeed unless they have the balls of Clarkson and come with a long list of demands for changes from the top, just as Roos and Jackson did.

I am pretty sure that is true for every team in the 8....
