Jaded No More

If we get robbed of our Queens Birthday game I will spew. Get it together Victoria. How are we always in this position? How?! I refuse to let Covid ruin our best chance of a flag in 60 years.

It is probably not a coincidence that the states with the best approach to Covid have Liberal governments. Tassie has done well but NSW has really delivered without shutting borders, with multiple outbreaks, with taking the large bulk of arrivals from overseas and without unnecessary chest pumping. QLD have been a joke and WA just drive their own pathetic agenda. I wonder how quickly they’d open their borders if we took away the GST revenue we funnel to them every year. As for SA... stole our 4 points last week. Gave us a lockdown this week. Pr!cks.

How many return international travelers do you guys down in Tassie take? How about your population density? In the famous words of Jimmy Rees “shut up Tasmania” ?

If lockdown ends on Thursday I’ll eat my hat. They’ll wait to get thru an entire 14 days incubation cycle given the number of exposure sites and the consistency of case numbers.

Yep. NSW is the only state in this country that appears to have a premier with more than one functioning brain cell.

Let’s not and finish top 2 and secure MCG finals. Cool. Thanks.

It’s good for us that Essendon won. They look good.

Just like I wanted Cale Morton to be Dusty Martin. So close.

The nerve of the AFL to schedule such rubbish Saturday night matches while we are in lockdown. Rude.

Collingwood has once again ruined everything. Well done. Fl0gs. Brisbane are the best form side in the competition. To me they are a better more balanced side than the Dogs. Massive challenge to beat them.

Forget best for footy. It’s all about best for us. I do not want to play Lions at their home ground. It’s our home game. We don’t deserve such a disadvantage.

Absolute balls if we play in QLD. Brisbane don’t deserve that leg up. Sydney would be fine.

People who don’t appreciate Gus’ role last night don’t appreciate football.

To activate the medical sub for concussion they would have had to do a 20 minute assessment. Ed was clearly concussed and the decision to activate the sub with 90 seconds to go was irrelevant to next week’s outcome for Langdon.

The club clearly has their heart set on a Jackson Weideman double act. They brought in BB to replace Tmac. Then Tmac decided to go be a sensational player again and now the plans have gone to [censored].

Would be a big financial blow if we can’t go to the NT. That game is worth $700k to us. I hope we can reason with the NT. They seem less insane than QLD and WA. Perhaps we can fly out there early, go into a mini lockdown, test and then play and fly straight home after the game?

Interesting. I like it. Bowey could also play halfback for a taste. Rivers has pace and is a clever user of the footy. Does he have the tank to play wing tho?

This is an important point. We are playing well, well enough to beat the (other) best sides. But we haven’t peaked and this is crucial. We have another gear to go and this year we seem to lift when required (last week aside). I’m excited to see where this side can go. Maybe it’s all the way. Maybe not this year but definitely in the next few years.

And lockdown means you can watch the reply 7 times and not feel guilty about it

Lol I love it when we are not the bitter opposition fans.

Well I know what I’m doing if I’m Brisbane. Run off Melksham. The man has absolutely no defensive running in him. He can kick a footy, but Jesus he is soft as butter.

Baker is a no for me. He is soft and poor defensively. Nobody will replace Ed’s shoelace let alone his running power. But the solution for me would be JJ to the wing and Sparrow to the guts.

He has such an annoying head. Seems a [censored]. I will say one thing. Our goal kicking is going to hurt us badly one day. We miss too many regulation shots.

Absolutely impossible to replace Langdon.
