Jaded No More

No he was angry he dropped a mark. I love how much of a perfectionist he is. Having a great game now his mate Lever is back.

I know imagine where we’d be now if we had just got on the reality bus

Must have been because it was soft to begin with and the ball went straight back to us.

Remember when we used to fight and shut down games and be like “oh my god we are a chance” and then the opposition would kick 5 goals in 4 minutes? Good times were had by nobody.

The struggle to stay awake is so real

Oh for Ben Brown

Has Hunt hit a target this year?

Umpires Putrid. Port going hard which is exactly what I expected.

I think that if we can start off well and open up a good margin, the game will be over at quarter time. Port will be flat and so will their fans. It's very important to kill the contest early.

Geelong but is Brisbane are serious they should win If Sydney don’t win by over 10 goals I’m calling it a loss West Coast are rooted. Pies by plenty. Dogs but it’s a 50/50 at the G Who knows. Two teams you never put money on Bombers finally Saints? Could go either way but MCG helps Hawks I hope GC! Time for Carlton to lose

Teams have learnt to read Gawn’s taps. But Jackson is the one who is difficult to play against because he gets his own ball.

I know a few people who had Covid and their other household members didn’t get it. However I don’t know a single family who had small snotty Covid positive children who didn’t pass it along to everyone else in the house. It’s super hard to avoid having contact with small kids who you are trying to keep alive.

I give this thread 10 stars. How much for the NFT of this thread @Demonland?

I’m fairly sure it was his wife who had it. Doesn’t mean the kids didn’t get it either.

Germany in soccer perhaps? Could be wrong.

Hopefully Brown isn’t playing because they thought it was risky to fly him out tomorrow after a week at home, and not because he now has Covid. And hopefully Smith is just a close contact and not actually suffering from Covid.

According to Tom Brown on channel 7 Brown is not playing.

Just upgraded our seats for Anzac Eve. Gosh what a rip off. $600 for a membership and I have to pay $43 for the pleasure of getting a decent seat.

I think it’s pleasing that we won despite conceding more than usual. Particularly as we lost the two games last year. I also think it’s amazing how tight our defense has remained despite missing 3 key players.

Oh to never be this depressed again…

Weideman got coaches votes this week. No chance they’re dropping him. It’s either Tmac out for Brown or no Brown for another week.

How concerned is he about big momentum shifts that we seem to have with our midfield where we can dominate and then get dominated within the same game and sometimes also within the same quarter?

I think it depends how we want to set up if we drop Hunt or Tomlinson for Lever. Port's smaller forwardline means Hunt is probably more likely to stay and Tommo misses out. Or we may choose to not drop a defender, but actually push Gus back to the wing and make JJ sub. However given the form Gus has been in down back, I think we won't take him out of there until both Lever and Petty are back and up to game speed. Thank goodness Petty is back in the VFL this week. He has been sorely missed, as has Jake. As for Ben Brown, unless he actually gets Covid, I can't see him missing out. Many players have missed a week of training and then went on to play. He is far too good to leave out if he's fit. We really missed his marking ability on the weekend, not to mention his goal kicking skills. I may not rate Port, but they are still a good team, they will have loads of pressure on them to win this week, and the home ground advantage. Can't take them too lightly.
