Jaded No More

Max Gawn is not and never will be a forward. I hate this experiment with a passion. Almost as much as I hate Gus in the guts when he is clearly a far better player on a wing or at half back. Are we just buckling to his demands to play inside? Because honestly it’s made us worse. Harmes needs to go back inside to play a defensive role. Gus to the wing to replace JJ. And please FFS we have to find a better option than Fumbles Bullen. He kills us with ball use. Play Bowey in that role. Can’t do worse.

Hickey pantsed him. But he also pantsed Gawn so…

May was sensational BUT he also killed our momentum because he can’t control his brain or his anger. As a leader he needs to be better.

I really really love your posts and I especially love your endless optimism. Sydney had every right to be confident and are my pick for the flag. They killed us all over the ground.

Oliver, May and Petty aside, we were weak, fumbly and unfocused. I have said all season that our best is the best, but we have been at our best only a small handful of times this year. Today we were below average. Midfield was an embarrassment and forwardline performed as it has all year, badly.

Embarrassing performance. Quite honestly all these cocky fans thinking we will [censored] this in. 2022 Melbourne is not a shadow of 2021 Melbourne.

Melksham. Just. Melksham

The most disappointing part for me is how easy we are leaking goals. Everyone on Demonland told me we will win by 40 points tho.

How we let Hickey just do what he wants. It’s beyond me. We have two ruckman and both are as bad as each other today.

Brain fade central

If our midfield doesn’t lift this game is gone. I will never understand how Gawn Viney Clarry and Trac don’t rip games apart. That is an A++ combo.

Swans can win the flag. They are exceptionally well drilled and coached. Our midfield has been super disappointing.

Trac is struggling with the quad. They have done a great job tagging and illegally blocking Oliver. Love how the umpires turn a blind eye when it’s Clarry. He will never win the Brownlow the way the umpires hate him.

May started the momentum swing with utter stupidity

He’s out there doing a warm up and the Physio put the thumb up.

Fritsch is in the rooms with the doctor

Weather forecast is wrong as usual. Why oh why can’t Melbourne just ease up with the rain?!

I can't wait to spend 48 minutes post game trying to get inside Richmond station and waiting for a train What a time to be alive!

First final since 2018 for us Victorians. If you don't attend today you are a fool. I'll be voiceless by quarter time.

Tom Lynch should just kick for goal better

I asked the puppy who he thought would win tonight. He was non committal. Worrying.

Lachie Neale is next level. He was the difference. His talent stood out.

How about we ALL get what we want. Endless premierships for all Dees fans

I think it’s funny and important to make fun of yourself. I don’t have an issue with it. I have an issue with our fans coming to games to clap politely like they’re at a funeral or the theater. Get feral!

Thanks. It was yesterday. But the real party will be tonight if we win.
