Jaded No More

Petracca for mine needs to learn to kick a footy. Will watch replay however before putting in the votes as spent most of the game jumping around like a lunatic.

Also we [censored] won. We are in a prelim. What is even this world? Where am I? Someone send help.

Weagles, Richmond. Done. Our entire backline was superb today. I thought Oscar had a blinder on Roughy. Nev is something else though. Just a superstar. Might get to take his cousin to the cleaners next week. Seriously? They had so much respect for Gus that Clarkson tagged him! He was one of our best last week and stood up when we needed him most tonight. Star!

Suck an old bag of balls Hawks. And thanks for Brayshaw and giving our forwards an easy night Frawley, you gutless turncoat.

Nicholls needs a long walk off a short pier. Umpiring tonight was appalling both ways to be honest.

Faaaaark yes!

They’re tagging Gus. We need more from Milkshake and Trac. They’re giving us SFA.

Petracca is deadest the dumbest footballer in this team. He is a liability right now.

[censored] YOU NICHOLLS YOU [censored] UGLY [censored] GARBAGE UMPIRE. [censored] YOU!!!!!!!!!

Strong need to vomit is strong. Oh god!

Smashed this work day. A cheeky wine with some work friends then off to the game. So goddamn nervous!

Well I've reached the 'feel the need to vomit' stage now. 1 of 2 urgent things I needed to finalise today at work are done. Now just waiting to finish a few things with China, and their 2 hour time delay is really stressing me out. Don't they know the footy is on tonight?! On the plus side, the lucky charm is coming tonight. Last week he told me pre-game we would win by around 36 points and he wasn't far off. This morning he said we will win by 2 goals.

To be fair to the Black Eyed Peas, they just released some new music, so they are not completely irrelevant. Ed Sheeran was still the best get of all time by the AFL. His post show gig was really good.

Correct. I bet the Geelong fan forum last week was saying the same about Weideman. Never underestimate anyone. It's a do or die for them. I would not be surprised if they come out and try to take out a few players physically. It's a very Hawthorn thing to do. I hope we stay calm and focused like last week, and don't let old bullies try to derail us.

It’s game day and we are playing a semi final. What even is this? Who do I barrack for? I’m so much more nervous than last week. Gonna be hard getting work done today.

True. I was desperate to win last week because well first final but also Geelong are my second most hated team. I’m relaxed regardless of tomorrow’s outcome, so long as we don’t repeat round 4’s efforts.

Heartbreaking. It’s the players who go through the most, who appreciate the rewards the most as well. Thrilled and excited for him to be playing and playing so well at the right time of the year.

I’m nervous. Everything points to us winning, so MFCSS says we will lose.

Everyone hates the Hawks. Not one neutral supporter tomorrow night is going to be barracking for the Hawks.

Would be silly to sign on for more than 2 years and will be backing himself to be worth twice as much in 2021! Well done Oscar!

Got it. Thanks. Lets hope my membership type is priority 1.

Is the priority 1,2,3 random or is it by membership type?

Yep, just for the fact that Bugg was in and now he isn't, is a massive improvement. Plus the form of Gus, Harmes and Salem has vastly improved since that game. We are a totally different team.

Not getting ahead of myself, but I'm hearing that members are getting letters sent out regarding registration for Grand Final tickets, should we win this weekend? Has anyone got their letter yet and shed some light on this? Still waiting for mine.

Media attention or not, we have the luxury of being the big winners of the season regardless of whether we win or lose this week. Already we made and won a final. We are young, we have years of success ahead of us. If we lose, the story will be about us just not having the experience to match the Hawks, and how bright our future is. Hawks lose, and it's about "false dawns", "ageing stars", "flawed recruiting", "out in straight sets". Win or lose, the pressure is not on us. Everyone would love us to win the flag, but nobody expects us to. It's a great position to be in.
