Jaded No More

The Herald Sun loves misinformation and scare tactics. Rest assured though, they can’t make up gestational periods.

God this is so depressing 😭

Jackson said on the Gus and Gawny podcast that he absolutely loves Melbourne and has no home sickness. Kid doesn't sound like he is a good enough liar to pull off such a convincing story.

Oh I love a cheeky bastard ginger. I am very much here for his vibe! And I love that he was a fat kid who got told to lose weight or nobody would draft him, and he's now probably the best midfielder in the competition. Also can confirm I am not a Pratt by any relation.

We like them young at Demonland 😐

Cry. That's all I do in 2021.

Odds of winning a premiership in relation to use of medical sub please? 😅

People throwing up Gus and Rivers need to think very carefully about team harmony and unity. The players are very close knit bunch, and a lot of the way they play is because of how much they love one another and enjoy playing together. Our culture is finally one that other clubs can be jealous of. We need to be very very careful not to just throw out key players in our team. It will cause big disharmony and could backfire. We also can't bring in someone who will demand huge money. Remember Oliver and Jackson will both be out of contract soon enough. That is a big chunk of money gone right there. Have to be very smart, and I think for where our list is at now, our best chance is to target specific needs with free agents or players really keen for success willing to play for less money.

You know I do!

This is what I would get if I got one.

Guys everyone in Victoria is eligible for Pfizer from tomorrow morning (over 16 obviously). Let’s go!

You are correct. I recently changed. But rest assured Jayden is a well loved Melbourne player in this household.

A lot of my close friends are footy mad. All of them have said that if their team can't win it they are fully on the Melbourne bandwagon... maybe because they know how happy it will make me, but also because of the fairytale notion of it. In fact my Essendon mate said that since he knows they can't win it this year, that he is backing in the Dees, although his Swans mad wife is going to divorce him for doing that.

I'm not Clarry or Bowey... but even lightweight gingers deserve love!

I am sorry to break this to you guys. Jayden was my favourite player a few years ago, but us gingers must unite. Clarry is my favourite now by a long long way. I still love Hunt though. And Eddy Langdon is definitely a favourite as well.

Sounds like Lions will be at full strength minus Hipwood and Ryner. Andrews and that god awful [censored] Robinson back for the Lions 🤮

Nah. They’ll need to fit in 18 midfielders.

If anyone lives in Melbourne and wants Pfizer I know one GP clinic who is going to be administering them to under 40s from next Monday. DM me and I’ll send you their details.

If the club needs help designing our premiership apparel I am more than happy to help them. Free of charge. All I ask for is a premiership.

These stats are getting wilder and wilder. When was the last time a team involved in a lightening storm won a premiership!? Probably never. We are stuffed.

Buddy is a bit of a joke. And no Daniels or Boak is also weird. But overall not bad. Not one Richmond player. Love it.

For me not even being able to watch it with my Dad is breaking my heart. It makes it a little bit hollow if I am being honest.

He is an exceptional player, but doesn't seem like a leader's a-hole to be honest.

I understand how this works. I just find it funny that teams that were deeply embedded in the 8 last year, like Brisbane, have had such a soft draw in the second half of the year. I know that teams come and go in the 8, so it's hard to predict, but still. Geelong with a dream run at GMHBA leading into finals, while we travelled the world the last month.

Another thing to consider is that Jones is due to have twins soon. Any game now will require prolonged quarantining and time away from the family. He may not want to do that without a guarantee that he will be in the team, which is obviously not something they can promise him.
