Jaded No More

It was a brilliant ploy to get almost a full minute off the clock. I reckon we won the game because of that.

Honestly if you’re the sort [censored] who goes to the footy to get [censored], you’re a moron and should drink yourself silly at home. Pathetic behavior and not something we want associated with our club.

Straight from the horses’ (literally) mouth: And Harmes was a crucial factor in his side’s win, gathering 31 disposals and shutting down Jaeger O’Meara in the final term – a challenge he thoroughly enjoyed. “I loved it. Usually when I’m playing pretty good footy I’m playing on someone and beating them and then winning my own footy and I thought I did that today,” he said. “I love the challenge of playing on good players so hopefully next week if I get the role again I’ll try and do it to my best ability. “ So why hasn’t he been doing this role all year Goodwin?!

He was trying to come on. We are so disorganized with our rotations. Truly we are lost without runners.

Harmes plays best in a tagging role. Why we ever stopped giving him those run with roles I don’t know. First real assignment of the year and he has his best game of the year. Coincidence? I think not.

Because Melbourne is cursed and not a week goes by without someone injuring themselves. Be at the game or drowning in pools.

He really needs to do the right thing and call it a day and leave us a list space for our mid season draft. Won’t do it because Lewis is focused on Lewis, but Jesus he is cooked. He runs in sand and he cannot kick. Kinda sad to see such an amazing career come to such a poor end.

To the old turds who told us not to boo Scully, go eat a bag. I’m a Melbourne supporter and I’ll bloody boo this piece of scum for as long as I like. If you want to watch footy in silence stay home and knit.

Our ball use is deplorable, but at least we ran with a bit more dare and dash today. We looked out on our feet at the start of the last quarter but credit for fighting it out. Our fitness is clearly below par and we are carrying way too many players who are unfit or need to retire (Lewis!!!), but there were glimpses today of the Melbourne of last year. Lockheart worked his guts out and was a standout in the forwardline for me.

Oliver just went down to the rooms. Everybody panic!

Jayden Hunt’s hair is looking particularly lovely today... and that’s about the only positive I can take into the match

Much like communism, this idea is great in theory but impractical in reality. Good try tho!

At least someone is going to enjoy today! Good luck to Dec today. Such an exciting moment!

This season is a tragic chain of diabolical events. How about we learn to play a decent game plan and spend less time walking with balls underwater.

No doubt this lack of preparation has killed our season and you can’t control players needing surgeries. What you can control is not spending top dollar and picks on unfit players (May, KK), not exposing injured players to more game time than necessary (Smith, Vanders, Preuss) and not letting underdone players be with a history of injuries to come back too early (Jetta). We don’t even deal properly with the things we can control, so there was no hope we would ever recover from the things we couldn’t.

FML the Joel Smith injury is a fuckup of epic proportions. How and why, knowing how long groins can take, would you keep someone out there in a friggin practice match? He literally limped for a half. I know I keep banging on about this, but I mean if we can’t even help the things we can control, then what the [censored] are we even doing? KK and Vanders’ careers seem to he hanging by a thread. Again, why did KK play out the game if he got a head knock? How is May’s prognosis getting worse each week? Why in God’s name would you keep playing injured guys only to make their injury worse? Preuss anyone? I give up with this club sometimes. Ludicrous management.

Have genuinely lost all interest. My last game I’ll be attending until Queens Bday as I’m off overseas for 3 weeks, and actually feel relieved. Usually I’d pay to watch the games lives while I’m away, but I’ve decided a break from this club for 3 weeks will be good. So yeah, football on Saturday. Meh.

Yep. Would also cover like 4 people’s meals at my wedding.

What if instead of spending over $1200 on memberships this season I put that money towards alcohol...

I hope not. What a waste finishing 9th would be. No finals and no good draft picks.

Jack Reiwoldt out for 6-8 weeks but luckily he snuck in one game against us. The good luck of the Dees continues.

According to channel 7 the deal is dead. Our mate Tom Brown with the good news as always. FML this club loves to lose.

Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of.

Yep. He’s terrible too. I haven’t updated that fave player thing in 3 years. Clearly.

We have done bloody well considering we’ve played like absolute garbage thus far. Let’s see how many of those 48,000 resign next season after we finish bottom 4. Nothing good lasts at the MFC.
