Jaded No More

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.

We have to get out of third gear now. We look really soft.

Correct. I am just spewing that we will come out of this game with some significant injuries because Norf have nothing to lose and if May does what he wants to and breaks some skulls we will be down an AA full back for 2 months.

Also kick straight and the game is done. 7 scoring shots to 17 plus 2 out on the full.

Cut Petty some slack. He really hurt his ankle in the first quarter. Could barely walk. They obviously pumped him full of drugs and told him to carry on.

Any updated on Ed?
