Jaded No More

I know but they are a tiny percentage of our supporter base. The large majority of us are in lockdown and after years of dragging ourselves to games to watch us get destroyed, we are finally on the verge of real success and we don’t get to be there to enjoy it.

Yep everyday is a heavy day in Melbourne. Winning a flag next Saturday will be incredible but it would not be as incredible as it should be. We won’t get to experience the joy we so richly deserve the way every other club has. Covid has robbed so many people of so much. You can add this to the list of things.

I think we can officially say that the next 7 days are going to push us all over the edge. This time next week I will undoubtably be having a complete full blown breakdown regardless of the results.

Sauce?

Weird that Max is not doing set shots practice. Maybe they’ve given up on him.

Max doesn’t need set shot practice. He only kicks when on the run now.

I’ve had several breakdowns already.

Huh? What? Why? How?

He obviously no longer has any pain in the hamstring and it was just a back related issue, hence no scans. I really back our fitness and medical staff, they’ve done a superb job all year.

It makes sense if they aren’t confident in May. But on the other hand Smith is coming off a hammy too. Can’t see it happening. You would play someone in the sub role who can play mid if we needed. I still think Hunt is the best sub option.

I don’t think him not playing in the match simulation is a worry. You wouldn’t risk him at all. It’s not like he needs the practice anyway. He can defend pretty well.

They showed Goody on the news arriving at training so that’s odd.

They said it’ll be skills and then 2 quarters of match simulation. Interesting to hear if May participates in the match practice.

I mean Rohan played in a prelim. Could Barich be worse?

I’ve died 7 times between the two tweet updates.

It’s on now but I’m not sure if they’ll let people in to watch. Just hope we don’t get any injury reports out of the game.

A team that’s so focused on countering their opponent is a team that isn’t confident their structures and game plan is good enough to win. Just saying.

My favorite. Just love him.

Makes perfect sense. Get ready for the conditions of a twilight game. I dunno Perth that well but if it gets sticky or dewy at that time of evening it’s a good thing we practice for it. In Melbourne it usually drops 190 degrees and gets insanely windy at that time of the evening.

I immediately googled the entire song list. I came up with the songs Dawn and Bye Bye Baby, which leads me to conclude that we are going to trade Gawn.

May will go to Naughton. He all but confirmed it in the zoom call they had with members this afternoon. Petty on English and I assume Sache will try to take out Lever.

I would like you to tell May he doesn’t deserve a medal if he doesn’t play next week.

Exactly right. Smith did his hammy in one of these. Let’s hope no injuries this time.
