Jaded No More

I’m a big fan of his but finals is another step up and he really does look tired. Plus physically he will struggle. Hannan is more dangerous playing up forward I think. If Spargo plays I won’t be upset I just think Hannan is better than him currently

Our lucky charm.... let’s hope he stays prime minister until October

In: Viney, Hannan Out: Kent and maybe Tyson. If not Tyson then I think Spargo out. Hannan should play finals. He is very dangerous around the goals.

Bloody beautiful. To go in with such good form and lots of players hitting their straps is bloody exciting. See ya in two weeks. Thanks for the great birthday present Dees!

Tyson with a wrist I think they said.

[censored] a duck. [censored] change. Injuries are just pissing me off so much this season JHK is just such a nothing addition.

It’s “we made finals so all you haters can go suck it” round.

To be fair we haven’t beaten many teams in the last 12 years and they did win 3 flags in that time.

Hell no. I think Geelong is the weakest side in the top 8. They wouldn’t have even made finals if their last two matches weren’t against 2 of the 3 worst teams in the comp at their home ground. We should have beaten them twice this season. A bit more experience and Gawn kicking straight and we win both. I look forward to the redemption of beating them in finals. I loath them and I want to play them more than anyone else. Hawthorn and Richmond scare the crap out of me. Geelong don’t.

I’m excited for today. I wonder if winning last week and releasing the pressure will see us play free flowing attacking footy, which is what we do best. Or whether we will retreat back into our shells because “we made finals already”.

[censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] I hate Hawthorn

Failmantle. Good for nothing garbage club. So, assuming Sydney win (Hawks looks shocking at the moment), who do we play if we lose and who do we play if we win? My head hurts trying to figure all this [censored] out again.

It’s not often that the MFC is more stable than the Australian government...

I'm surprised North have offered him a lifetime deal at $2m, such is their pathetic desperation to land a decent footballer.

But of course.... MFCSS is alive and well! How did Hibbo train?

If we do play in Sydney week 1, I suggest jumping in early to get flights. All the frequent flyers (me included), will be on the Qantas website trying to score freebies with points. The real question is, fly in fly out, or fly in, stay the night so you can drink post match, then fly out? Hopefully we win on Sunday and get to play at the G.

When Nev Jetta is trying to talk aggressively to you, you don't just simply try to leave. Have some respect for Lord Neville!

Agreed. The number of times this never gets paid in Melbourne's favour when an opposition player does that, is shocking too.

If ever you needed a reason not to do drugs, I present to you Ben Cousins... a progression of time He went from an 11 to a 1

I loved his quote that to win finals you need to display inhumane behaviour. No Judd, just because you are inhumane and have all the personality of a dried fig, does not mean that everyone else is a robot like you. The only reason you won a premiership is because you were surrounded by lots of other stars and cocaine. Your inhumane behaviour certainly did nothing for your next club, all it did is show you for the selfish, self centred, money grabbing pr*ck that you are.

How is Smith progressing with his injury? If we can bring him in and send Fritsch back up forward, it solves the problem of who can replace Spargo who looks really really done. He's put in a magnificent effort for someone in his first season. We forget that Fritsch played VFL before so he is much more conditioned to a full season. Wagner gives me no confident whatsoever. He panics and turns the ball over frequently. Bugg is a hell-no from me.

Bloody hell, what a sad fall for someone who was so talented, so successful, and seemingly had everything. He just can't seem to get it together, even with so many people on his side trying to help. Feel sorry for his family.

Who knows what happened. One thing is certain, Jetta is a gun who took Le Cras to the cleaners and Le Cras is a whinging biatch.

So what’s the deal with saying player X needs to be dropped or player Z had a poor game? I mean I want to know what can and can’t be said by supporters before they are deemed to be “not supporting”. It is absolute rubbish. Supporting to me is turning up each week even when we are getting smashed, it’s buying a membership no matter how badly we played the previous season, it’s criticizing without insulting, and it’s being negative if that’s how you feel in the moment because you really do feel the emotions. That’s being a supporter.

Hang on a minute, questioning the coach is jumping off? You can raise legitimate concerns and you can crack it when our team does stupid [censored] like lose to St Kilda or lose to Geelong twice by under a goal. That does not mean you are not invested or have jumped off. I get upset and annoyed and emotional, but I am as invested as ever. Nobody here has said they are off to support another team, and everyone deserves to enjoy our first finals campaign in 12 years, no matter how many times they've sworn at the club in that time.
