Jaded No More

You’re probably right. I guess winning is not really a motivator for me at this stage of the season. I look forward to seeing the kids develop and getting something positive out of this horrible year.

Very true. They had Kruezer on the bench for 20 and Weitering with a splattered face. They were not full of running either. And they have injuries as big as ours. No Cripps or Curnow is equivalent to no Oliver and TMac (when in form).

Don’t disagree but with Hore a definite out I think Lever will play a sweeper role. Frost and May can both play small and I think Petty has showed enough to be given as much experience as possible at the top level.

To be fair I thought the game was garbage viewing from minute one to minute one twenty. Our skills are so poor, as is our decision making and defensive running. The defensive running you can forgive with 3 on the bench, but what was the excuse in the first quarter? We scrapped an ugly win with limited rotations against a bottom feeder missing their top 3 players. I am deeply thrilled to remain at 16th with yet another 3 injuries to add to the mix. One of the worst quality games of football I’ve seen in a long time. Both teams had horrible patches and while we looked the better team for long periods, our finishing really ruined the enjoyment of good ball movement. Not one for the highlight reel.

Who says Petty will miss? Lots of players play a week following a concussion.

Statically we are the worst team in the history of champion data for conversation inside 50s. What a season!

Is that confirmed? So long as it’s not his ACL I don’t care. This season is dead anyway!

That kick was the perfect summation of our season. Absolute joke. (Was a good kick don’t get me wrong, but how it just stopped on the line?!)

McDonald just says he “doesn’t think he did his ACL”. Jesus Christ! This year is cursed. Horrible game. Skills are embarrassing. Season needs to end fast.

What a [censored] disgraceful game. Errors galore. Injuries. Can we call this season off?!

5 minutes.

[censored] off! How do you [censored] this up?’

Disgusting. Ball use again.

Jesus Christ Melbourne.

Carlton will win this thanks to Silvagni

Could anything be more Melbourne than McDonald being injured after kicking 6?! Why?!

Every forward 50 entry is a goal to Carlton. The backline is having a shocker. Doesn’t help that Hore is down.

Carlton are not out of it and we are down to 2 on the bench.

Carlton are -40 frees for the year.

How are the Centre bounces today? What a disgrace!

I’m too sad about the state of affairs to be rational anymore. We are a shell of the team we were a year ago. The skill are embarrassing. The defensive effort is embarrassing. Yes we are missing players. So are they. Yes we are unfit, but that doesn’t excuse dumb decision making or a poor game plan. The excuses keep coming but we have nowhere to hide anymore. This season has been an enormous waste.

Apparently we are whingers if we expect our team not to be horrible.

Knee. It buckled. Went to get it strapped. Doesn’t look too serious.

Nothing I love more than posters who are too stupid to have a conversation so they put together a dumb throw away line. You are free to ignore the “whingers” and enjoy this spectacular game of football.

What part of our performance is acceptable to you? The ball use? Our goal kicking? Our defensive effort? This is a team that we beat by 109 points a year ago. We will be lucky to win it 12 months on, and it’s not because Carlton has improved. In fact they are missing their best 3 players.
