Jaded No More

Windsor was fantastic today He killed Ginnivan and had a lot of the footy.

I hate having a go at any one player, but for the love of god can Fritsch stop smiling and joking after missing gimme set shots? Every other player is filthy with themselves and he thinks it’s a joke. This attitude should never be rewarded.

We were better for 3 quarters, but unfortunately this has always been a 4 quarter game. That will never change.

Horrific umpiring aside, when senior players miss goals from 30m directly in front, and then you come out in the last quarter and yet again give a limp performance, the outcome is as expected. Game was there to be won and again, we get absolutely pantsed in the last quarter. Simply not good enough coming off a good break.

Must be nice to get wins gifted to you from the AFL

We are playing at 1:10pm. No chance the carry over emergency would have time to play a half then go to the MCG. Far too risky.

I’ll be in M50 doing the same. It’s time we spread love instead of negativity

Jackson working under Gawn is a vastly different proposition to Jackson working alongside a potato in Darcy. I would have him back in a second.

The West Coast player was very lucky Viney didn’t present with concussion symptoms until after in the week, after the MRO ruling. It would have been 3 weeks otherwise

Turner will surely start down back. May is in less than peak fitness and I reckon Turner is a great matchup for Chol who is super athletic.

If Viney wore a Collingwood Geelong or Carlton jumper maybe…

The guy copped a week actually for that hit. Rightly so. [censored]!

Unbiased commentary on Dees radio? What, is it being hosted by Demonland posted? "We are terrible. We can't kick goals. Simon is not the right guy". I reckon listening to Dermie is sometimes less depressing than reading Demonland.

Imagine being a club president who defended Maynard, De Goey and 'The Rat Pack', while also overseeing a culture of rampant racism, and then passing judgement on what other club presidents are doing. I don't know what is bigger, Eddie's chin or his ego.

Not sure you’re inviting someone you don’t want at your club over for a spa… or dinner with other teammates like Trac did yesterday. But by all means, let’s keep spreading light and positivity 🙄

How long does Clarry deserve to suffer for his past behavior? Nobody is saying he is without sin. He made mistakes and he’s paid for them, personally and professionally. I mean we have players in the system who have committed actual crimes, that haven’t copped half as much harassment as Clarry has. He has worked so hard over the pre season to get himself to a great spot. It’s actually heartbreaking that he’s had to take time off to deal with the relentless external pressure. You’d think he’d punched a guy and hasn’t been getting a touch. The pile on is absolutely disgusting, not to mention completely disproportionate.

No you don’t. And by the way, taking time off to deal with your mental health IS taking responsibility.

So that makes the charges he’s facing not a story? Seriously?! And don’t give me this BS about the contract. McKay is on equally big money. Allen is the captain of his club. Clarry can be on 10 million a year, and not get a touch, and it still doesn’t give any journalist the right to hound him relentlessly, when the club has made it abundantly clear that he’s dealing with some personal issues and they asked for his privacy to be respected. Clarry is a human being before he is a football player that you feel owes you to be fitter or better. If he was your son or your friend, I’m sure his paycheck would be of no concern to you if he told you he’s struggling.

Don’t even get me started on this BS. Willie Rioli literally sends threatening messages to an opponent, Balta bashes a guy, Bruhn is up on the most vile offenses, but somehow Clarry is the one being hounded relentlessly for the past 18 months. Imagine why he would like to play for a club that could make someone up on SA charges have a 12 months finger injury and not a single article written about them…

Or, and hear me out, the journalists can just back off and give him time to get himself right off the field. He’s a champion of this game and has literally proven time and again what a fantastic player he is, including by turning the game against Richmond just a week ago. He has had his issues, and he is not perfect (who is?!), but whether he is back to being an A grader or not, has no bearing on whether he deserves the same respect and privacy the media has shown the likes of Allen and McKay when they recently took time out. Need I remind you that Allen, club captain, has met a rival coach, while McKay who is on a million bucks a year, still can’t kick for goal and took time off while his club was winless. And yet nobody wrote 800 articles full of lies about them! When are people going to take stock of their own behavior? When we lose another player to suicide?

Is Felgate thick, or is she just pretending? Clearly Brad is referring to ALL the loser journalists who have gone to town this week, and wrote literal garbage about Clarry, after the club specifically asked for privacy and told the world he’s having a hard time. Like FFS Jacqui, stop defending these useless ambulance chasers who are the first ones to cry when the footy world loses a player to mental health battles, but also the first ones to put out a dozen articles getting stuck into players when they’re struggling. [censored] RIGHT OFF!

I mean they don’t fact check any of the other 💩 they write about Clarry, so why bother getting his age right? How these people still have day jobs is beyond me.

Breaking news: teams rely on their best players too much Also breaking news: how good is Dangerfield going carrying Geelong to victory at his age

Maybe Clarry knows that if he went to play for Geelong, the media would finally leave him alone and let him be 🙄
