Jaded No More

Sydney can absolutely go all the way. They are a scary proposition when they’re on and the team most like us in terms of game plan and contested footy.

I don’t understand this thinking. So if we played them in two weeks we could beat them but playing them next week means we lose? We aren’t carrying significant injuries. Nothing will be different next week to the week after, except for perhaps a small-ish crowd.

GWS should change their name to WTF!

Swans coming back. Uncool.

Unless they play an interstate side it won’t happen. Firstly Marvel will be considered a greater Covid risk due to the roof and the narrow entrances. Secondly the AFL is a lot more likely to push for bigger crowds at the G come finals because of the space and the ability to social distance.

GWS helping the cause of keeping Sydney out of the top 4. Let’s hope they keep it up. We need a few more things to go right after last night’s debacle

Thank god, a game against a top 8 side. Can’t possibly lose now.

Probably because the AFL has bigger issues to deal with than Geelong’s sooking. Even with no crowd moving games and venues is a big job. AFL doesn’t need to waste their precious little time on this bull crap.

We won’t be playing Gold Coast Channel 7 said we are playing the Dogs at the G. Dogs already back in Victoria. So frustrating to miss yet another big home game crowd. Just not sure how we financially survive.

In a round about way that’s not great. The less practice Geelong get at the G the better for us come finals. But also, suck it Geelong.

Bad kicking is bad football. And it’s also very deflating for the team.

I’m on a self imposed football ban today. I can’t stomach AFL today.

Surely we won’t agree to doing Darwin then Perth. That would be a disgrace. Happy to play them both in the same state so both in Perth for example. But you can’t have us going from Darwin to Perth.

His ball use has fallen off a cliff.

Possession numbers are one thing. It’s what he does with them that matters. All year he’s wasted his possessions. We won’t trade him, but he has to learn to play within his very obvious limitations. I don’t like that since he’s come back in we’ve swapped Gus and JJ around. It’s made us worse.

Petty with half a hamstring was our best defender tonight, which goes a long way to explaining why we sucked [censored].

Look you’re right. We are losing the plot while sitting half a game on top of the ladder. But the emotional roller coaster of easily disposing of Port in Adelaide last week then [censored] the bed against Hawthorn a week later, is very taxing on my soul.

How was Tmac? Maybe ask yourself why our tall forwards aren’t getting near it, and then look at how we kick the ball inside 50. A bunch of drunk blind geese would hit a target better than we did tonight.

Name a more exhausting life choice than being a Melbourne supporter

When you draw against the 17th team on the ladder playing infants while you are fighting it out for first, umpires are not the problem. Yes umpiring was putrid, but welcome to 2021. We have only ourselves to blame. We played lazy and our pressure was well down. We also fumbled badly and couldn’t win a ground ball. Tackling was non existent and we again blew easy shots on goal. This is what led to the result. Not poor umpiring.

Few teams would have the financial luxury of a goal kicking coach after the brutal budget cuts as a result of Covid. We do however have Mark Williams. Surely he can fix this debacle?

Viney needs to go. He is making our midfield too defensive and he’s a liability with ball in hand and can’t get off the ground fast enough to defend. I don’t think we need another inside mid to replace him, especially with Vanders playing well enough to justify getting another game next week. Maybe Melksham can help us hit a target going inside 50, but most likely he just won’t do anything for 98 minutes. I am guessing no change. Edit: lol at people suggesting we drop Brown. Literally the least of our problems. Had a better game than Tmac.

The only thing worse than watching us play like trash, is having to come on here and read your trash. You are a miserable troll.

This is precisely why nobody gives us a realistic chance to win a flag. Champion teams have killer instincts. The only thing we possess is a [censored] the bed instinct. Woeful performance across the board. Most disappointed in our leaders. Gawn dumb and ineffective. Viney a liability and a complete plodder. Trac with the Hollywood football. Tmac not a yelp. If this team doesn’t learnt to kick mother[censored] goals I swear to god. [censored] great way to say thanks to our record breaking membership. Melbourne, you’ve done it again!

[censored] you Melbourne
