Jaded No More

Just goes to show you that we really haven’t played anyone good the last 6 weeks. Finally we are playing against red hot opposition, and as has happened earlier in the year, we are looking miles behind them. If we don’t win this game I think it will tell us a lot about where we are at as a team. Are we just making up numbers or are we actually good and a chance of challenging?

Can someone please tag or better yet smash that fat turd De Goey?! He is killing us. Any chance Goodwin can put a man on him? I can’t see us winning it. They are getting easy goals and they are cleaner with the footy. Tom and Hogan done SFA which isn’t helping.

Credit to [censored] Buckley he is smashing us all over the ground. Goodwin has to wake up in the box.

Pressure got to us. As I said I knew 7 in a row against a hot opposition on such a big day was too much to ask. Just not handling the occasion right now.

Umpires can go and get [censored]. They are so biased and ruining this match.

Crumbling under pressure. Not a finals team if we can’t cope with any sort of pressure. Not good.

6:20 for me. Goodnight and Go Dees!

Kinda shattered to be missing this game. First queen’s birthday match I’ve missed in over 10 years. Will be getting up early of course so I can watch it. This is the least confident I’ve felt about a match for a while. Surely the dream run will end eventually. Pies are in good form. They’ll be up for this game. I feel like after 6 great games we are due for a downer. Hope I’m wrong.

Gawn will need a chop out in the ruck so I assume Pedo is in. Would be so risky to ruck TMac with the foot drama.

Always loved Bailey. Victim of circumstances. He could coach. Just had a bad team full of softies and primadonnas

Moving TMac to defense is “in case of 186 emergency” only move

I’ve had about 10,000 of those bastards already. They’re like crack!

Such amazing news to wake up to in Lisbon this morning. Great result. Nev and Omac I assume are regulation signings now. Brayshaw probably will sign soon too. Wouldn’t it be awesome to get Jesse to sign an extension before the year is over? A flag might help this.

Probably worth more to us than what we could get for him in a trade. That said he may want more opportunities.

I believe you make your own luck in life, but it’s hard not to feel like this club is cursed. To lose Lever is a massive blow to our structure. No doubt our backline is the weakest part of our side. Hibberd and Jetta are elite and so is Lever. We lose Lever and suddenly we are left with only 1 tall defender who is very young still. The replacements for Lever are there but gees not one of them will be half the player Lever is. This is a big blow to our chances of winning a flag. I know people mentioned Murphy but losing a non KP player is much easier to cover. Losing Lever is the same as losing Hogan or TMac or Gawn. Very hard to replace. When Lever found form so did we. This is a huge blow!

Apparently struggled with knee tendinitis at the start of the year. I swear he always looks like he’s about to fall apart physically when the ball is not near him. Then somehow magically is the most sublime beast on the field. Love Jets!

Is he too old for rising star?

Indeed there were very few things Neeld did help... with perhaps the exception of the Bombers’ demise

Is the show called “small man don’t have talents”?

If Jurrah came to Melbourne as it stands now, he would have had a much more successful career. Wrong player for the wrong club (at the time).

Totally different. ACLs are very common and recovery straight forward. Max had 3 of them. Hasn’t hurt his form. Lever is only 22. He has a long career ahead of him.

Massive sook and a diver. Good player for sure. Plays for the most offensive club in the land. Hatred is real.

Loved how the commentators were saying in the first 10 minutes “oh Oliver hasn’t touched the ball yet”.... 10 minutes later, oh he has 9 touches ?‍♀️?

That disgusting clown leading the Coleman owes a good 15 of his goals to the umpires. He gets more dodgy frees than any forward in the comp. He and his repulsive club can go and get stuffed. If Hogan got the same armchair ride as Sideshow Bob he’d be on 70 goals now.

Agreed. We got him to win flags. I reckon it’s as big a blow to our structure and game plan as when TMac was out.
