Jaded No More

Agreed. He is a big guy yes, but once he was put off balance he hit the ground hard and had a noticeable head bump. He definitely didn't play it up, and if the situation was reversed and Gawn did that to the little t*rd Daniel, the free would have been there. The sheer fact that it was a little guy putting down a big guy is why they didn't pay it I think. But it was late and it was dangerous and it was out of play. A free kick everyday of the week. Absolutely nothing more. But it did mean Gawn went forward and Jacko went into the ruck, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Also Gawn has 5 years left the way Jackson is helping him out, and going by the fact that approximately 50% of ruckmen are semi-retired and overweight these days. So it's a long way away still.

Lever. Trac is a superstar. Superstars don't need the burden of captaincy.

I want to see what Chandler and Bedford bring next year when VFL is finally back on properly. I think they both have some qualities that will be worth exploring.

Also big big props to Josh Mahoney who made a lot of pivotal trades happen, when others carried on like pork chops about overpaying. Hibbo Lever May Tomlinson Langdon Brown Who gives a single sh&t about how much we paid for Lever now, hey?

Hey @Demonland since you obviously have a way to contact Gary Pert, any chance you can pass on some merchandise requests from the tragics on this site with cash to burn and who are in prime buyer's remorse territory thanks to a combination of 57 years of despair and lockdowns? I don't want to buy anything from sites other than the club's. I rather wait for DVDs and other things to be available and pay more and wait longer to make sure the money goes back to the club, and not some third rate publication like the Herald Sun. But it would be great to know if those things will be available soon or not.

Couldn't even win the free kick count on the biggest stage of the year. Losers.

Watching the replay. 8:53 left in the third quarter. I’m worried. Don’t tell me how it ends.

Hate Hunter, Weightman, Daniel and Libba. All cheating flogs. The rest are good. I even like Casper the Friendly Ghost English.

Anyone know which player had the most intercept marks on the ground? I can’t find the stat and I really need it to win our yearly grand final footy draw I do with my friends. There’s a lot of wine riding on it!

But at Carlton he gets picked every week, he gets guaranteed big minutes and he gets paid more. And he knows Carlton can get a deal done with pick 6. He's good enough to be a starting 18 player and get paid a premium from a club lacking midfield stars (Walsh aside, who is a gun). In Melbourne he's third maybe fourth in line. If the kid has ego he goes to Carlton.

Remember when this time of year was our highlight? What a time to be alive. I forgot trade week is on soon!

One at the G in front of us would complete my life and I can die happy. Saturday was the happiest day of my life… don’t tell my husband 😂

I’m gonna leave mine up for a while. I’m crazy.

Never in doubt 😂

I can just imagine Goody telling May to come off and May just running away from the bench, fingers in his ears, going “I can’t hear you”. We play fair. Other clubs would have fudged an injury report. Young JJ has a long career ahead of him. He will be ok. When ANB kicked the goal in the fourth it all came out. I knew we couldn’t lose and after doing 6000 steps during the game, I just dropped to my knees and cried. I knew it was ours and it was such a relief. Then I just really enjoyed the rest of the game. But cried again when Gawny and Goodwin held up the cup. At that stage I had already had a few quick glasses of champagne and the buzz was real.

I have no ill feelings towards Dogs fans and I generally like most of their players (few exceptions). I thought Bont was very gracious in defeat and I think their supporters are generally understanding of the importance of breaking a long drought. I am sure we will have a long rivalry for many seasons to come. If we had beaten Geelong I would be throwing it in their face like I did in the prelim because they’re a despicable bunch of arrogant tools and their players are all insufferable. But happy to stay humble in victory.

He said on the podcast that he loves Melbourne (the city) and is not homesick at all. I think we can all agree the kid doesn’t come across as a master manipulator. Take him at face value. He wants to stay. The only thing stopping him from signing a long term deal is probably his manager knowing that in two years time he will be worth $900k a season and now he’s probably only going to get $500k. And that’s a lot more fake teeth!

I always said Rohan wasn’t a useless footballer.

I’ll watch this on repeat until I die.

They are fleecing us. The Herald Sun is selling half of the same stuff for less, but as if I’m giving Murdoch my money and not my PREMIERSHIP WINNING DEES the cash for all this trash. I hope they release a finals DVD set with the 3 finals wins, and some behind the scenes stuff. Will buy.

As I always say, you gotta come prepared for a champagne shower

I will watch this until the day I die. Basil can’t remember anything beyond the end of his nose.

The hoodie is for me… I’ll be wearing it on my daily walks for the rest of eternity.

My only real priority would be to get a Hibbo replacement. A lock down medium defender with pace. We can probably go the draft for that. But also we are prime to just pick talent from other clubs so why not.
