Jaded No More

This is an embarrassing loss.

Other than Oliver, the rest of the side today has been embarrassingly bad.

This is a very bad performance. We are playing poorly everywhere and umpires aren’t helping

If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too.

[censored] May is gone. Two weeks. Jesus Christ.

No he isn’t he is doing what every single sub does.

Unfortunately we can’t win this if May doesn’t get up. We are in real trouble. They are all over us.

A great achievement for anyone let alone those Essendon players who suffered through a year long ban thanks to their pathetic administration. Go well today Melky.

It should be a genuinely good contest and I expect it to be very close all day. Langdon is a massive out for us. Hopefully the home ground advantage and our ability to never move away from our game style will help us win. If we do win, Bowey is tied for all time wins from debut.

This is going to be a very tough game now. Tmac has a knack of getting himself back into good form and then getting injured.

There is no doubt that even at 32 he is still a good player who could add plenty to a side. Sadly he is a cultural cancer and a [censored] of the highest order.

This will be our hardest test of the year missing Langdon who is in the top 5 most important players for us. It will likely be a low scoring affair. Hopefully we can break them open late.

Nobody can tell me that Richmond’s list was better than ours when they were winning flags. Dusty is a stand out beyond most players ever seen in the AFL for his pure ability to dominate finals. But aside from him we are a better balanced side with more A graders.

LOL very few dynasty teams had more than 5 champions. We have 5 champions and another 10 A graders who would walk into every single side in the competition. Ridiculous discussion.

I understand totally where you are coming from, but Gus is a leader and from a cultural point of view it is extremely important that we keep him. He knows he can walk for more money and a midfield role, so we definitely need to do something to lure him to stay.

I agree, and he will likely be a late out. But they won't give Melksham the emergency position for his 200th, so the real question is, who drops out?

I have a feeling we won't risk Ed. Too important and no point playing him if he's in considerable pain. Melksham will get his 200th instead. It will be out Dunstan in Viney. Bedford the sub yet again.

Nah. Big chance for a premiership medal though I hear.

He is a bozo. Complete deflection tactics from a coach of a side everyone tipped will play off in another granny and they are miles off it.

Incorrect. Too many teams struggling and taking away from an already shrinking talent pool doesn’t make for a better competition.

Imagine what they would be saying if we could kick straight.... "peaked too early".

Everyone needs to stop feeling sorry for other clubs. The weaker other clubs are, the better positioned we are. I sat next to enough arrogant North fans on Saturday to know that when we are down the bottom again they won't show any mercy towards us. The way they tried to physically attack us during the game, knowing full well they couldn't win on skills, talent or execution, just shows you the sort of club they are.

See also pre season 2021 versus Dogs. We got “destroyed” then closed a 50 point game to lose by under a goal without most of our backline playing half arsed footy. Pre season games only matter to clubs that have something to prove.

Classic peaking in May syndrome. We haven’t even got to 70% of our true output. Bring it on.

He was being “tagged” by his best mate Simpkin. Extra motivation to do well I reckon. Bad move from Norf.
