Jaded No More

No change I don’t think. Unless we know we are about to get slammed with matches and need to rest some players.

Finally a four quarter effort. And the structural changes with a second tall forward and a second true tall defender has completely changed our game. It was a no brainer and I’m glad finally they’ve figured it out. Jackson being so mobile actually makes us look better than Tmac because he is good at ground level. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing him and Weid getting the next 3-4 weeks together to see how things develop. Jackson can also more than hold his own in the ruck which is very important as it allows Gawn more time to play in the defensive half where he dominates. Omac has been wonderful the last two weeks and I hope all the haters can finally get over their biased opinions against him.

Gunston. I swear he just loves to play us. Oh well. We smashed them.

Weideman just needs confidence and continuity. He has a lot of the hallmarks of a wonderful player.

Why Weideman hasn’t played until last week is an absolute mystery.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched Melbourne play Hawthorn where Gunston hasn’t been good. It’s just really baffling.

Given we are playing the best team in the comp next week, we need to take a big win.

Oliver has been ok I guess haha

I just [censored] knew we would come out and smash them ?

I just [censored] knew it

Smith and Gunston. FFS. Every. Single. Time we play this team.

I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

Jackson doing very well. I’m so impressed.

How is that NOT holding the ball?

Who is this and what have you done to my team?

That. Handball.

Jetta is having a good game

Brilliant pressure inside forward 50 in the second half of that quarter. All of our goals came directly from that. Well done.

FFS our lack of defensive spread is absolutely [censored] woeful. We look horrid.

Aren't your borders still close to everyone? Or did I miss something?

I loath that woman, however she is absolutely right to milk this for all it's worth. Without QLD we have no season and she knows it.

Jesus Christ you gotta give credit to Paul Roos for winning any games with this group of plodders. I forgot how horrendous our list was when he took over. Day and night to the list Goodwin has now.

Everyone plays everyone once this year. While it would be nice to have a few 'soft' games in a row to get momentum, all this means is that our second half of the draw will be easier leading into finals. My guess is that NSW is on the verge of a second wave and the AFL is hightailing out of there ASAP. Brisbane in Brisbane is probably the hardest game you could get at the moment. Good test for us to see where we really are at.

There is no doubt that if ever Melbourne was going to win a flag again, it would be the one year where none of us long suffering paid up members can attend. And the world would probably end the next day because a meteoroid would hit it #MFCSSxCOVID19

Completely agree. If given the choice to delist, there are 6-7 players who I would delist ahead of Jones at season's end. Jones can cover multiple roles, and he still brings experience and leadership. I rather him play HB in a final than say Lockhart. We are so quick to forget the sacrifices this guy made in his career for this club. He deserves to get to 300 games, and more than that, I think our club would benefit from us making it happen for him. It shows loyalty and appreciation for those who gave so much to the club for such a long period of time. Sometimes having a winning culture isn't just about winning games.
