Jaded No More

Me from rounds 2-17

Worst possible outcome. GWS vs Pies. Has there ever been a worse final? Gutted for Brisbane.

Terrible news. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Life is short. Don’t waste it.

The right decision. Well done to Jonesy and the club.

Fremantle are a hot mess and that dweeb Bell has a lot on his plate. Given how many of his players apparently want out, Langdon should be the least of his problems. He has bigger fish to fry, and should want to get this deal done early and quickly.

Well done to Dec, fulfilled a dream every kid has growing up and did it well. His epic clearance was a highlight in an otherwise horrible season. Wishing you and the rest of the family the very best. On the plus side, you never have to come to Demonland and read all this trash again... but we would love you to!

Finally, a man bun at Melbourne!

I have no source other than a few DL posters claiming he's signed on.

This thread needs to come with an Anxiety Trigger Warning System.

As if this season wasn't bad enough, they're going to finish it off by giving ANB a 2 year deal?!

Better start working on new excuses for 2020 then. You know, just in case...

Season 2019 hey?

[censored] ANB. A perfect summation of this season

Back to normal programming of me abusing a screen

First game of the year I can’t watch even if I wanted to, and we are winning. Typical.

I’m getting married two weeks before the 2020 season starts. At least something good is going to happen next year for me.

They will play him. He will tear his hammy and do his knee. And with that will end the worst season in recent history.

Yes. I enjoy wasting money.

This. I hate football and I simply cannot muster up enough care to even go to games if it’s wet or at an inconvenient time. I used to move heaven and earth to watch us play. I went on crutches with a broken knee for 2 months while we were on the bottom of the ladder. But I’m exhausted. Supporting this club and caring so much is soul destroying and toxic.

I’m in the Middle East where it’s more peaceful than watching Melbourne play.

I would like to see him played as a tagger. Harmes is a better user of the ball and better when resting forward and I believe he is past his tagging days save for a special occasion. We saw Viney in the early days thrive when given specific jobs on Ablett, Dangerfield and Selwood. He is a natural tackler and hunter of the ball, so tagging seems to be right for him. His ball use is simply trash when left to his own devices.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the captains voted in by the players? Edit: I know years ago it was a vote by the players with final sign off by the coaches. Has this changed?

How many more injuries will we sustain in these last two weeks? Honestly this season can not end quickly enough.

Big difference going head to head and being made to change how you play to specifically nullify an opponent. Obviously Gawn and Grundy would go head to head. But the instructions should have been, made him chase you. Our mark him. Smash him in hit outs. Do your thing. Not, don’t worry about your game just ensure Grundy is nullified. It makes no sense.

Correct. If you’re picking players on their positions, Gawn is hands down the best RUCKMAN in the game. His ruck stats are simply superior. So if you’re picking a ruckman it has to be Gawn. If you’re just picking 22 midfielders than sure Grundy gets the nod.
