Jaded No More

Physically we are stuffed. Richmond players were strolling to the bench all game. At the 19 minute mark of the first quarter our players were barely breathing on the sidelines. We cannot kick, run, chase or tackle and we also can’t compete aerobically now. Basically we are lame ducks.

They are like a bad ex you keep going back to because you had good sex once. Now he can’t get it up.

Cool story bro. Gawn is the best ruckman in the competition by a long long margin. Yes his kicking is average but he’s a superb mark, he’s great below his knees for a big man, and his efforts are unquestionable. Also Gawn’s job is not to win clearances it’s to give our guys first use of the ball. Considering his percentage of hit out wins is over 58% and he’s had 244 hit outs to advantage this season (both stats put him in the elite category), I think he has more than done his job.

Petty’s marking was excellent. Especially in those conditions. I’ve clutched at straws and now I’m out.

I’m done. Home time. Wine time. End of season time.

Lever just came to the bench and shook his head. He’s done for the day.

Oh Preuss. You are so slow.

They aren’t even trying Richmond. That’s the scary thing. They drop the ball 4 times and still take an uncontested mark in their forwardline. Words fail me.

The standard of umpiring is as bad as our team.

We are exhausted running around like headless chicken. Meantime Richmond players are lined up on the wings awaiting a turnover and bang.

He’s running the boundary. Can’t be that serious. Also it’s the opposite knee to the one he did apparently.

Please god don’t let Lever do another knee. Please. This season is [censored] cursed.

Not sure why they did the car draw at quarter time. No incentive for Melbourne fans to stay now. Should have done it at 3/4 time and gave it to the only idiot who is still at the match. “You sir, you are still here, you’ve suffered enough, have a car”

Just kill me. Watching them do as they please with the ball. Goodwin is an absolute moron.

It depends. Does Goody want to keep his job?

Another complete and utter [censored] up. Why the [censored] did they bring him back for a dead season? Is Melksham another unfit time bomb ready to blow up a foot again? I have no words for the stupidity of this club sometimes.

Hogan says hello. Now that’s a kid who is cursed. Sam had a brilliant finals campaign and a few minor setbacks. He’s a skinny KPF with under 50 games experience. He has had the same up and down ride as most.

Tongue in cheek obviously ? I spend a lot on memberships.

I’m going simply because I feel like the $72,000 I spent on memberships this year has been a total waste of money. With 2 home games left before I bugger off, I’ll go to try and win the Jag so at least something can be salvaged from this season. We will get smashed. This is an ugly ugly team.

He isn’t in his prime anymore and he isn’t our best and only midfielder anymore. That doesn’t mean we discard him like yesterday’s trash. There is a lot to be said for showing loyalty to those who have shown it to you. It’s not just about his position in the team, it’s about team unity and loyalty and harmony. Disrespecting Jones says to the entire team “sure, be loyal and stick by us in bad times, but when the time comes we will throw you to the curb”.

If he came cheap I would. He is a match winner and a massive upgrade on Garlett. If his head is right he could go another couple of years, as I believe he doesn’t have significant history of injuries.

He got 2 didn’t he? No way he would move clubs for 1 year deal. His concussions are no worse than what Gus was facing. With proper management he can overcome it.

I hate when he hits our players and breaks their jaw. What a d@&k!

I think Melbourne supporters don’t ring talk back radio because they are busy working and having a life, not collecting dole or scamming cigarettes at train stations. They don’t feel the need to waste their time talking to other idiots on the radio, as if they will miraculously fix our problems. Our supporters are the most resilient and loyal there are. We have the highest supporter to member conversation rate. We aren’t the problem.

Why? He’s contracted so unless he retires I can’t see why he wouldn’t.
