Jaded No More

I’m watching the Saints Swans game. Adelaide any chance to hold on?

Would also be nice for Adelaide to pull off an upset. Get Port off our [censored] and help us cement a top 4 spot.

Salem must be in some doubt

An incredible finish to the rhythmic gymnastics individual final. Israel won the first ever gold in this event and the first gold not won by ROC in decades. Incredible performance!

It’s a disgrace that Selwood keeps getting off. Absolutely pathetic.

Selwood proves yet again that the only weapon he has left in his toolkit at his age is to hit people high. It’s his mode of operation now.

The guy is not a leader’s butthole. He is a complete [censored] with the mentality of a child. If he never plays again it’ll be too soon. Nobody will remember him for being anything other than a massive [censored].

Wheels falling off the old bandwagon? What happened to Rohan?

True but we don’t want Geelong to finish above us and then cry for a home final in GMHBA.

GWS are useless

It’s Selwood. Won’t even get looked at.

Hold on for dear life GWS. FFS!

It also stands the reason that more cases equals more deaths. Hospitals get overwhelmed and people don’t get adequate care. We saw that happen over and over again overseas and that is the greatest fear of our country I think. We don’t want to overwhelm our medical system. It’s also why I think we lock down regional Victoria. They don’t have the hospital capacity to deal with hundreds or even tens of cases needing ICU or ventilation.

Thanks. This is going straight to my footy chat I have with mates. It’ll rate highly.

Stop having a life.

Like you needed another reason to consolidate the wildly held opinion that Walker is a moron and a scumbag.

Interesting on Harmes. I know he was a mad Dees fan growing up and he seems to have a lot of good mates at the club. But honestly he is very expandable so clearing the 3 years left on his contract could be a blessing in disguise.

Mark McGowen has to guarantee that I can attend? I assume it gets thrown out the window if borders are shut, which going by the fact it's WA, they will be. I just don't know how the AFL can play the game down there. Their state calls off crowds hours before games. And they are so isolated you make it impossible for the fans of the competing clubs (lets be honest, it ain't West Coast v Freo granny) to attend. SA seems far more reasonable, but as I understand it Optus Stadium has bigger capacity and WA has better facilities for clubs to hub in. The players seem to be having a great time in Perth this week while we freeze in lockdown 6.0 😌

What about the younger generation. Would your kids follow a new team? or would they follow Melbourne still? What about kids of parents who don't have an affiliation to a club already?

Artistic Group Swimming technical is on tonight! If you need cheering up during lockdown, grab some wine, get on a group chat and watch this with friends. You won't find a better hour of joy elsewhere this weekend (since we are playing Monday!).

Artistic group swimming is on at the Olympics tonight. Beats the hell out of watching Geelong beat GWS! Hoping Adelaide can cause an upset in the showdown, but now their [censored] ex- captain is suspended due to being a racist loser, it's going to be tough. Also hoping Essendon can cause an upset over the Dogs. I give St Kilda absolutely no chance to beat Sydney. The rest of the games are boring and irrelevant. Thank god for the Olympics and several hundred streaming services during lockdown.

You are saying that it is Dan Andrews locking down Victoria. When in fact it is not. It is the best health advice, the PROVEN advice, that is locking us down and not for the first time, thanks to the incompetence and blind eye turned by the nuffies of NSW and the likes of Alan Jones who tell the community that this is not a big deal. So they go about their lives, ignoring the health measures, spreading it to the entire state and now almost the whole country! And maybe you should tell the family of the 29 year old who died at home this week that we are hysterical. Or the family of the young woman in her 30s. Or maybe you can tell my friend who is a front line worker who at 35 nearly died from Covid last year while taking care of sick patients who told him they didn't want to wear a mask because Covid isn't even that bad.

Especially if they let us actually go to games once Scotty gets us some Pfizer.

You're right. Lets be like NSW and not do a lockdown, and then let cases get out of hand, and then do a lockdown that is only half effective, and then do a hard lockdown, and then have 300 cases 6 weeks into lockdown, and then be in lockdown for another 4 months. Great strategy.

As has alcoholism and depression amongst young people. My best friend is a GP. She told me yesterday that she felt like crying during all the mental health care consults she was doing with young people. She had no advice to give them anymore, because she felt the same. I've been in survival mode each time we've gone into lockdown. But last night I just broke down. It's all just got too much. The financial, mental and emotional pressure on me and my family and everyone I know, especially my single friends, and those who work on the frontline, is too much! And I am well aware how lucky I am compare to so many people. I can still work from home, and my husband while his business has really suffered, is still classified as an essential worker so is able to work. We are getting by, but so many people aren't. We got takeaway last night, and I swear the restaurant owner looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown. We got way more than we could eat because we just felt so bad. I'll be eating day old Pizza and crying into my wine tonight.
