Jaded No More

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.

Suck it West Coast

I guess I'll stick around now.... (I just pushed out a meeting with my biggest customer so I can be on the computer at 9am next Tuesday to buy finals tickets, because priorities!)

True. Frawley and Howe for mine can get stuffed. Frawley just chased the easy success, and was lucky to win a flag. Howe just carried on like a pork chop, and it's another reason why Collingwood doing so well is infuriating (especially for poor Dunn who will miss out again!). Watts didn't want out, but he also wasn't all in. He was not invested in making himself better for the betterment of the club. We got Fritsch and I am happy with that. Time to well and truly let go!

HAHAHA Melbourne winning a game because of dodgy frees? Good one!

I will buy a Freo membership if they beat the Pies. Sadly they don’t call them Failmantle for nothing ?

Showed heaps in a very high pressure game. Was quiet in the second half, but that is to be expected when he has barely played any AFL games and it was very warm. We played a lot smaller in the second half too with Hannan and Melksham deep forward and even Oliver at times. Really pleased for him. I especially loved how confident he looked. Absolutely did not look like a kid out of place out there anymore. He believes in himself now.

So we can definitely buy them online yes? Does anyone know what is the go if you want to buy a ticket for a non member? How can I guarantee they can sit with us members? I want to drag my better half along, as he has never seen us lose a game. He literally got home and sat down in front of the TV after West Coast got in front in the last... and then we kicked 3 goals and won the game. He is our good luck charm, and I am not messing with that!

I haven't teared up at all... until now. So bloody good! Now for the important question, when can we draft his son? Will he be a good replacement for Hogan? Is he a left footer? How are his toes and feet?

I loved that he took the full amount of time with his last goal and milked some more, asking the umpire how long, like he didn't hear. Good man!

I believe we got special permission to play him.

Suck it Essendon!

Did not think he had it in him, but he was absolutely instrumental in that win. Him, Melksham and Hibbo as Ins absolutely won us the game. Weids also more than held his own.

Really??

I would love to win the first final. That would be a wonderful achievement and base to build on for a flag next year!

Oliver. He is seriously a freak.

Delicious! (P.S.- sucks so badly for Hogan!)

Supporters deserve to enjoy this as much as possible. Who the hell has suffered like us? We can lap it up all we like. I sure as hell will. Just so long as the players are done celebrating and are in full on kill mode. The finals are wide open. Win next Sunday, get ourselves an MCG final and literally anything is possible. Go Dees!

I want to play Geelong in finals. I want to pulverise them. Actually no, I want to win by a point after the siren from a Gawn free kick in front of goal. I want Ablett to retire. I want Geelong players to suffer. I want Scott's head to explode in the box. I want someone to knock out Selwood and Dangerfield. I want to sweet sweet revenge and justice.

About the too much coke or the do not do drugs thing?

Too much coke. Don’t do drugs kids.
