Jaded No More

One day soon Sparrow will be able to take on more inside midfield minutes and we might have the luxury of resting Clarry forward. Given he’s a good mark I suspect he might then start impacting the scoreboard.

Best news ever on Ed.

Langdon training, even moderately, is fantastic news. Hopefully he won’t be out for long. I never ever thought we would see Salem before the Bye. He will need at least one week at Casey to get some match fitness and we won’t risk him in the slightest. We can’t afford a re-injury or a soft tissue injury (which he has had history with) now.

I agree but it also was not our home game, so realistically put that on North fans not Dees fans, who outnumbered the home team 3 to 1 anyway!

It’s a mental thing. One day he will kick 3 straight in a game and he won’t miss again for the rest of the season. He is in his own head. His reaction to missing simple shots is one of utter devastation.

Cracked ribs is an incredibly dangerous injury that could lead to punctured lungs. While I completely agree that we need to protect the head and avoid concussion, accidental injuries will occur all day every day in footy. If you’re going to punish accidental head injuries why aren’t you going to punish accidental rib or shoulder or knee injuries which occur in a tackle? Chandler didn’t mean to hurt his opponent. Thomas sure as hell did.

****rn Norf. Hope they spend the rest of eternity at the bottom of the ladder. Bunch of thug hacks.

Would have been better if Carlton and Geelong lost.

Further proof that the AFL care only about concussions and other bodily harm is totally fine. Chandler breaks Foley’s shoulder and he’s free to play. Ed gets concussed and Thomas gets weeks.

Last year showed that we clearly play better against top sides. We have played 2 sides currently in the 8 and beat them both comfortably. We also beat Hawks and GC who have given some top sides a real wake up call. Bottom teams set themselves up to play us hard and it works for like a half. Top teams will play their own game, as the Saints did, and we will prove to be as good or better than them.

It’s a disgrace we didn’t win every game by 100 points if you ask me. We won’t make the 8 from here.

[censored] yes!!!! Well done Hawks

Anyone who says GWS are doing a better job against West Coast than we did needs to look at how many goals they’ve conceded to WC. Double the score from last week already.

Hawks doing well. Hopefully they keep it up.

Mate you got no idea. This time last year we lost to Adelaide. We went on to win the flag.

I was there. Doesn’t make it any less ridiculous how difficult it is to travel to and from the footy these days, as per your own story above. Imagine doing that with young kids! I can understand why people are choosing not to go to away games at that dump of a stadium.

Why can’t be put Gus back on the wing?

They also had 300 people turn up and would have lost a mountain of cash turning the lights on at Marvel. So meh.

Look I feel ya. I also made the trip but I totally get why many didn’t. Firstly if you don’t have a home and away membership like me, why would you pay to watch what you know will be a bad game? Secondly that stadium is awful. Thirdly this start time is a joke, I got home after 9. If you have kids, forget it. And lastly when I have to wait 32 minutes at Southern Cross for a train on Saturday evening after a game of footy, I understand why people stay home. It is a complete disgrace. Almost 2 hours to get home today and I live 45km away not 200km away.

Long may we continue to complain about 47 point wins

He was ok just strapped and got on with it. Same with Petty who looked really sore but played the game out. Dunstan out for Viney. We don’t need Dunstan if Viney is right to go as even if Langdon is out Dunstan gives us nothing on the wing.

You wanna know why people don’t go to the games? Because I have been waiting 38 minutes for a train post game! Insane.

A shout out to the arrogant North fan next to me who, when North got 2 points up said “we have a young list… it’s all downhill for you now” Enjoy that shiny spoon

Yep and I bet North player won’t get suspended.

I only care that Langdon is ok This game was another 4 points we bank and move on from.
