Jaded No More

My stupid niece is having a birthday party during this game. What a selfish 4 year old!

I love M50 it’s where we seat every week. It’s right next to MCC and the Melbourne bench so you see a lot going on. Sometimes the sms is very slow to arrive. You should be able to login to your ticketek account on your phone and download from there.

Also I roped my husband to attend and he has only ever seen us lose live once. You're welcome everyone!

No $93 for premium level 1 tickets in M50 $193 doesn't sound right. I paid $472 for 5 adults.

OK so I finally got in. On the browser not the phone this time and got the same seats as last week. If you select Premium Member Allocation you can choose the bays. I chose M50 as this is our regular bay and it gave me 5 seats together which is a miracle I will take.

Been in the queue for 15 minutes. I HATE [censored] Ticketek!

I also don't see the point of playing Trac on half a leg, literally. I know he is a champion, but if we beat Brisbane and playing ends his season, we are worse off. We CAN beat Brisbane without him, but we CAN'T win the flag without him.

I received an email and checked and the barcode looks the same to me. I imagine the barcode won't change for the rest of the year. It didn't last year.

The most important thing is that we win and Collingwood lose

Yep. The only game that was basically done at 3/4 time. As a supporter I knew we were gone. Such a disappointment. However I firmly believe we played the best team in it by far. Swans will win the flag.

It’s a good thing Freo will spend their entire salary cap on a 20 year old ruckman which will definitely fix everything. Like Hogan did.

Fremantle are embarrassing themselves. If they weren’t playing one of my most hated teams I’d be laughing.

Jackson must be excited watching his future team stink it up

I do too BUT I rather play them than the Pies so this is a good outcome for us.

Hahahahahaha suck it Collingwood. Lost it how they’ve won it all year. Barely.

I need Geelong to win (I know just kill me now) because I know we can beat them if we make the prelims.

Me thinking that Collingwood could win the flag by a point

I really don’t understand. We literally never use one unless we have a concussed player. I don’t think Smith wins us the game. But why the hell would you make poor Trac play out a game when he can’t even walk.

Crack really gives them a lot of energy.

I wasn’t talking about long term injuries. We had a lot of games impacted by mid game injuries. We had games impacted by Covid. We played most opposition at their best and we had teams kick the flukiest goals against us. Swans did not miss last night. Same with the Pies. We are not in the same zone mentally or physically as we were last year.

We were blessed last year. Everything went right. This season is the complete opposite. We will be lucky not to go out in straight sets. Trac is a key player and a real finals spark for us. Even if he plays he will be way below his best.

Goodbye 2022 flag

Our biggest issue all season has been the 2021 season. The way we won last year was a once in a generation type performance that will never ever be repeated. As a supporter base and team, I feel like we keep expecting a replication of that form, and it just won’t happen again. We have lost all ability to halt momentum or even maintain our own momentum. We lost that killer instinct that we had in finals and we are nowhere near the defensive giant we were. If we keep expecting 2021 to magically repeat itself we will go out in straight sets.

I lost my voice at quarter time. Which is a good thing because it was mainly a lot of cussing from me thereafter.
