Jaded No More

To be honest I’m glad we are resting anyone who is not 100%. Imagine if Salem pings a hammy today? Or Oliver? You’d be furious at their poor management. I’m all for minimizing risks at this stage. Let’s just hope both get up for round 1. Oliver seems a non issue. Hope Salem is the same.

Oliver out with general soreness (sounds like just resting) Salem out with hamstring tightness, which is no good. He’s had issues with hamstrings before. Hopefully nothing a rest can’t fix.

Awful news. Poor kid.

I really thought the return to longer quarters did us a great service. We looked fit and full of running at the back end of each quarter, which ultimately proved vital for the win. We were missing plenty of players who would be walk up 22 players, and would make a big difference to us structurally. So overall a very good win.

Tackling down back is very sloppy. Their smalls continue to destroy us. We desperately need to find some good solid small defenders.

Spargo great tackle!

Chandler looking good. Tomlinson is a big worry. Why don’t we put Tmac down back again?

Goal with 10 seconds to go. A Melbourne special ?

Can’t say that I’m a big fan of Tomlinson at FB.

Chandler injured. Looks like arm/shoulder. Faark

I turn around for two minutes to do work and miss Oliver’s goal. Rude.

Trac and Oliver in the bounce and we win the clearance, then shot on goal. I’m truly shocked.

Full length quarters helping us.

Why can’t we kick? Why? It’s so frustrating. Our ball use is total horse****.

We are playing the best team in the competition. And we are missing our entire tall forward line. It’s not exactly time to hang up the boots for 2021. Also we are taking the [censored] with some of our set ups. The last Centre bounce had ANB, JJ and some new kid I barely know. So clearly we are not trying too hard.

Tmac looks good. But that kick. Jesus!

Fallen apart quicker than a Trump election lawsuit.

You just gotta love Jetta. Constantly playing against giant players and giving it a red hot go. He’s been ok. Baker has been ok.

Lynch still a massive [censored]. Good to see.

Still a lot of ball for a lot of nothing.

Gawn has to learn to kick for goal. Embarrassing stuff from a captain.

Some sloppy ball use, but not unusual for a first hit out. Pressure has been excellent. TMac looks alive.

Ugh 2021 is already dead to me

Brown was in surgery. But why no Pickett?

Any sign of Viney?
