Jaded No More

Woeful kicking. We are now in our own heads and they completed deflated us. A real shame as we are dominating but making an absolute meal of it inside 50.

It’s good to have TMac get some confidence. He has been well down for a long while and he needs to start believing that he still can perform at the top level. He has looked down on himself and letting his frustrations get the better of him. Ben Brown spent time in the VFL last year and came back a different player. This is not the end for Tmac. It’s a reset.

Ok that’s good. He is probably the emergency tonight. Hopefully doesn’t mean we have another defender under an injury cloud.

Hope you’re right and he isn’t injured Rosman can be anything.

Why don’t they say what has happened to Tomlinson?

Woewodin’s kicking is a bit messy

Bedford isn’t playing so surely he’s medi sub.

Breaking news this

Tmac has not been in great form for a while. Why does Weideman need to fire up to keep someone who is in poor form out of the team? All I want from Weideman is a consistent attack on the footy and solid work rate. He doesn’t have to do much to replicate the output we got from Tmac this season. He just needs to work hard without the footy and take his chances with the footy. If he kicks 1-2 goals and is able to neutralize contests, bring ball to ground and follow up his work by continuing to present up the ground, he has done his role. We are not a team that depends on one or two players to have superstar games every week. If he plays his role he will keep his spot, just as everyone else has (and why I find it hilarious that some keep saying we need to drop Spargo or Pickett or JJ if they don’t have a statistically stellar game).

With Brisbane, Sydney and now Freo all being serious contenders, it will be so important to finish top 2 to avoid interstate travel in finals.

I am not watching. Are either of these sides a threat?

It only took playing a bottom 2 side ravaged by Covid and injuries on their home turf to get there. Port for the flag.

I keep waiting to watch a side who I think is or can be better than us. I have plans tonight so I’ll miss the Carlton Freo game. I suspect Demonland posters will report back if either of these teams are the real deal. I have strong doubts about Carlton. I think Freo could be a contender.

Dogs are quickly slipping into Geelong territory for me in terms of pure hatred. Absolute cheating scum.

Embarrassing stuff from these umpires. No wonder players dissent when these umpires make such horrible pathetic decisions and non decisions.

STOP LETTING THE DOGS GET AWAY WITH BLATANT CHEATING

Sache touched the football. He can retire now.

Free kick Dogs is out of control

And they have Burgess now so you know they’ll run out games well.

Bailey Smith has to be the most overrated player going around. Has he hit a target yet?

Dogs defensive effort is utterly putrid

So far Freo have shown good resilience under pressure and their defense has held up really well. This can obviously not be said for Carlton who start like a house on fire and then collapse like… well… a house on fire

Have Brown and Weideman ever played together as a duo? I think not. Let them have a go

I already pay for that many streaming services, it would be a farce if they didn’t just pick a single service to make it easier for the consumers. If it’s not Kayo but Stan or Amazon, so be it, but if it’s a different service for every night of the week they can forget it. Most people can’t afford that.
