Jaded No More

To be fair nobody considered depth would ever come close to replacing Salem. Or Oliver. Or Trac. Or Gawn. Rivers plays and it’s a different ball game. He takes the kick outs. He is accountable. Same with Hibbo. Petty plays and suddenly May out doesn’t hurt so much. The issue is all of our first and second choice players in the same area of the ground were out. Lever can only do so much and Bowey is playing game number 9. It took May and Lever a full year of playing together to make things cohesive. You can’t expect that synergy with Smith who lacks IQ and Hunt who is like a kid with ADHD who just ate a gallon of sugar. May or Salem or Petty play and we win even tho we were wasteful, lazy, sloppy and undisciplined. Hell if we don’t give away 2 centre circle frees because we can’t count to 6 we probably win too. That was pathetic to do twice in a quarter!

We might never win again after losing to Carlton tonight. Bring on the draft.

Remember when we got smashed by the Dogs in pre season last year missing half our midfield and everyone had a meltdown? Good times.

Geelong or Hawthorn will lose one early on in the year to a dodgy 50 meter and we will never see that rule again after Scott has an epic meltdown and his brother fixes it.

Things I’ve learnt today 1. Give the umpires an inch and they’ll invade Ukraine with power 2. No May and Salem without Petty and Rivers as backup = no good backline 3. Poor discipline is always costly. We were arrogant and messy especially with setting up in the middle. That’s inexcusable. 4. Nobody got injured. Big win!

Well that was boring. Bring on the real season.

I’m sorry but 3 times we didn’t get the 6-6-6 right? What is this amateur hour?

Well to Carlton’s credit they have played much better than us. Want it more. Great tackling Backline embarrassingly bad.

8 goals from 50 meter penalties to Carlton

Shaking your head = 50 Shaking your head and staring at ground = 6 week suspension

This is pathetic. You can’t show emotions now.

It’ll be up there with the time we came from 44 down and beat Geelong in Geelong to win the minor premiership

Carlton celebrating like they’re winning flags. I love this.

Omfg that is a joke

Oliver on Cripps is a bad matchup because Oliver doesn’t care today

No more “ruck craft big boy”. Shame.

Hunt forgot how to play down back? Stop leaving your man!

Horrible tap from Jacko there.

Smith running into Lever is exactly why I cannot with him.

Lol this backline

That’s the rules Learn and stop doing it. It’s obvious they’re hot so why keep talking? The issue is we are getting smashed in the middle.

Seriously the lack of discipline is very disappointing

He can play footy. I don’t need him to prove it in a meaningless game and get injured.

Hunt and Smith in the same backline is a no

Remember the last time we lost a pre season game? Spoiler alert: we won a flag
