Jaded No More

Normally the process is very smooth. Today I selected 'Melbourne allocation 1', thinking well yep, I am a H&A reserved seat member that makes sense (and it is our replacement game), and then it told me I owe $207 (5 tickets). So I tried again under general admin, and all went smoothly, until it died and said 'something went wrong with your payment' (which was $0?!). It took 3 tries for it to work today, whereas normally I am in and out in 2 minutes. Anyway, my beef is that there is absolutely no reason to be allocated seats on level 4 behind the goals for a game that will barely attract 40,000 people. I don't think I'll bother going to away games this year, although I pay an arm and a leg to get free entry to them. I prefer to watch on TV than be stuck up in the heavens behind the goals.

I would swap, but there are 5 of us

A complete cockup today. You had to select general admission to get free tickets. Got some rubbish level 4 seats behind the goals. I bet the ground will be half empty. Absolute joke.

I reckon he's nailed a few goals this year that he wouldn't last year, so he has clearly worked on his kicking. But it has never been a big issue for me. He does so much work that just can't be replicated by anyone else in our side at the moment. If he's running at 100% game time and sometimes he butchers a kick inside 50, well I can live with that. He and Hunt running down a wing is such a lovely sight.

I am obsessed with Eddy. What a player he has been for us. His gut running has completely changed the way we play at the G and having an actual winger is something I think we’ve missed since, I dunno, perhaps the Daniher days. Seems like a really nice down to earth guy as well.

If they’re worried about social distancing they should do something about Richmond station and the lines to get inside after the game ?

Best. News. Ever.

I am so greatful that both our 'blockbusters' this year are our home games. It is a nightmare to get tickets to the ANZAC eve and Queens Birthday games at the best of times, let alone with restrictions and reduced capacity. Lets hope that by finals time, we are back to 100% capacity.... *puts lid back on*

Yes. Your barcode doesn’t change week to week.

I think assistant coaches are as important as a head coach. Most players spend far more time with their line coach than they do the senior coach.

Because Geelong is a club full of dirty cheating [censored] who have gotten away with doing this stuff for far too long. Hawkins has form. He did not need to swing an arm. I don’t think he meant to cause such damage, but gees he’s one clumsy guy isn’t he? ?

2-4 weeks is a big big let off for what could have been season ending. Thank god he sustained no permanent damage to his eye.

Jesus Christ the reaction to that article from all the male posters is the epitome of why we need a bigger push for equality.

Looks horrific ?

Even if surgery was delayed due to swelling, if his injury was very severe he would remain in hospital. Especially if they were worried about damage to the eye or if he needed very strong pain management. Fingers crossed he is on the mend.

Second in the league for marks inside 50. A real hack. Interestingly Tmac is leading the league for tackles inside 50 right now.

Clarry is currently 3rd in overall possessions, first in contested possessions and 5th in clearances in the league. He’s a red hot chance on those numbers alone, and that’s after a poor week last week.

I assume we will know more tomorrow. They probably need to wait for the swelling to go down and then do some more scans. Fingers crossed it’s not too bad.

People’s obsession with dropping Jetta is getting silly. Please name his opponent today and what they did. Please also name what Jetta did wrong. He is going nowhere on current form. Massive challenge for Petty and Tomlinson and Lever to cover May. A huge loss especially with Richmond coming up.

Jesus Christ who mentioned 2-4 months?

Out: May In: Petty Melksham was woeful but they won’t drop him after one game. We will continue with minimal changes and so we should. 4-0 and you need to reward the players. Gut feel is Ben Brown in for the Richmond game. A massive game and Jonesy’s 300th should all go to plan. They’ll rush him in if he gets thru a full match next week.

Langdon is a genuine star of our team. What he brought to our side is invaluable. Probably our most important recruit this decade. Also thought Gus did exceptionally well when thrown down back when May went down. We showed really maturity to turn the momentum in the last quarter and not let the horrid umpiring get to us. Some of the decisions today were baffling. My only let down today was Melksham. He did nothing offensively and defensively he is trash.

What’s better? Beating Geelong or going 4-0?

Are we really less fit than the retirement village that is Geelong? And please someone explain why we brought Melksham back? He has done SFA as per form.
