Jaded No More

Our contested ball work has really gone to [censored].

This game is slipping away. Thanks umpires and midfield not touching it.

I take it back. Trash.

Umpiring has been ok so far 😱

I’ll take that first quarter. They switched on in the last 8 minutes. Started to win some contested footy. We need more from Trac here.

Our ball use is trash.

I guess so do Rivers and Jackson.

I just saw Frost and Tyson. It’s fine. Everything is fine. Things are not the same.

I wasn’t aware Chris Scott is both an AFL coach and the chief health officer.

And please no injuries!

My boy JJ is back!

Absolute disgrace. Hope they appeal. Nothing in that tackle.

What a game for Tmac to miss. Absolute crap.

I’ve told everyone in my household that they have just 2 hours and 15 minutes left in the day to annoy me. After 8pm I do not exist and they must not come into my eyesight. Lockdown is hard man!

No doubt Geelong will benefit again. Being their home game a small crowd means all Geelong… and that’s if they even let people from metro Melbourne attend.

This day could not be going any slower if it tried! Lockdown is not helping the situation.

Given the weather it's not the worst out. I would suggest bringing in JJ and playing a smaller forwardline with Jackson spending more time at CHF.

This and Hipwood's injury on the eve of finals is precisely why we need to keep Weideman. When Hogan went down before finals in 2018, Weid stepped up in finals and played a role. With Martin also injured, the Dogs are now going to rely on Ugle Hagen to step up, which is not fair for a first year player, or will need to rob their midfield by pushing English into the forwardline. It is a bad situation for them, and just proves how important quality key position depth is.

Why would we choose to fly on the red eye? That is a flight only taken by people who want to save money 😂

Well that’s ridiculous. AFL can’t afford to fund another night in a hotel? Or are WA such bitter [censored] they’re demanding we leave immediately?

I am already stocked up with wine and toilet paper for lockdown 7.0 and 8.0

The quarantine factor could go one of two ways. Flat, exhausted, missing family. Excited, bonded, focused. Sydney has been really good at dealing with long term hubs and time away from their families. Brisbane absolutely smashed it last night. Given they are heading home tomorrow straight back to a city in lockdown, a week away from family wouldn't be too taxing on most and would give the new dads some much needed uninterrupted sleep.

A big problem with this outbreak is the area it is in. The high risk settings we have already had exposures in. The low uptake of vaccinations and rule following in those suburbs and the fact that we've had a lot of random waste water detection and absolutely no links to how or where these outbreaks started. They will be very cautious. I can't see us not being in lockdown for the full 14 days.

Finals are different tho. I think the Victorian government is desperate not to lose the finals two years in a row. We’ve already lost so many big events. It’s ripping the soul out of our city. But you’re probably right and also no chance lockdown ends on Thursday. It’s always 14 days. Always. I dunno why they give us false hope.

I really dislike the Dogs and their cheating throwing umpire- loving ways, and I also don’t like Bruce, but gees that is awful awful luck and I wouldn’t wish that on any player.
