Jaded No More

I feel seen with that name change.

You are within my 15km!!!! I'll be there post lockdown (I think you're closed now right? Because I do click and collect from Target sometimes).

Just what I needed in weekend #189 of lockdown.

He’s missed his curfew for the last 5 weeks. Now he’s grounded.

My dad and I got these a few days ago! I love it. I got my name and dad got his and mum’s initials. So excited to get mine. I’ve always wanted a Melbourne number plate but was waiting for it to be worth while!

A lot of them are home for family reasons. But I know the WA boys, Harmes and Fritta have all stayed. Enjoy lockdown premiership cup. Get vaccinated and see you soon!

It is, until you come up against a team with dominant ruckmen who can play wing, back or forward and take contested marks, as well as dominate hitouts. Like the team that won the flag on Saturday. Then suddenly your least valuable position becomes your most valuable position, and you are sad that your ruckmen are trash.

The match worn guernsey auctions are going bananas! Oliver at $20k Trac and Gawn at $15k Fritta $10k & Jacko $8k Then the rest around $3-$5k each JJ the only one under $2k which makes sense. That is a lot of cash for the club

Hands down the most useless organisation in Australia. I have parcels for work coming from overseas with other couriers in less time than it takes a parcel from Melbourne to be delivered. Absolutely ridiculous how unprepared they are 18 months into lockdowns.

Yes I've had a change of username after 100 years of posting on this site as a very jaded Melbourne supporter.

And this is exactly why I don't listen to this trash.

You don't get a premiership tattoo if you're planning on leaving. Jacko said he is happy, his parents are said to maybe look at moving to Victoria, he just won a flag at 20 years old. Why the hell would he leave?

I’m pretty sure it’s already sold out?

I can finally look back on these old videos when our team was so full of terrible players (Davey was a star!), and not feel bad because we won a premiership. Jurrah was so good and Fritta does move very similarly. He is so light on his feet but he never goes to ground.

Jacko can’t leave now he has a tattoo.

When Nibbler kicked the goal in the last I dropped to the floor and I cried. Then post game when Gawny said “after 57 years of pain it’s coming home” I started again.

My mother in law is a mad Hawks fan, but loves Gawn. She’s been organizing Christmas presents already because she’s insane, and I have been informed that the giant 1m serving board is on its way from Santa. The woman understands that the only thing better than one Melbourne premiership cheese platter, is two.

Will be live for fully vaccinated. Perhaps for everyone if we reach 90% fully vaxxed by next March.

I wish he would fan boy his nephew more. Gus was so good and I wanted him to get emotional about it, but of course he’s a useless [censored]. When Gus lines up and BT is complaining he needs to watch the goals and Brayshaw just goes “big kick” or something. Like Jesus guys this is commentary by 5 year olds.

Has to be “it’s coming home” that is absolutely the highlight of the post game celebrations. I do like the idea of having a “wtf just happened” section of the DVD that is just facial expressions of Dogs players after we kick 3 in 47 seconds.

Re: merch supply. Keep in mind there are a lot of issues going on in China that most people who don’t work in product development like me wouldn’t know about. Basically as soon as they get one Covid case they shut the city down. And I mean lock people in their houses. There was a big shut down of a big port in China a few weeks ago when a worker tested positive, that is still delaying containers arriving into Australia. And since the relationship between China and Australia has gone down the toilet, a lot of suppliers have upped their prices. Production is also slower as Australia is no longer a priority growth market. Combine all that with the minuscule levels of stock the club is ordering (big scheme of things you got Kmart ordering 500,000 navy T-shirts and MFC ordering 5,000), and they’re always going to be up against it in terms of costs and turnaround times.

It has always been my dream to barrack for a hated club, that everyone says “I’ve had enough of watching them win” about.

Hopefully when we get to have the celebration at the MCG later this year they’ll set up a tent with more merch. Perfect chance to sell posters, flags, hats and tees and get them signed. The money we’ve already made from merch proves we can be a very powerful club if we just keep succeeding on field.
