Jaded No More

He’s doing a lot of faux tough guy fighting. We have awful leadership.

I swear to god they didn’t touch the footy this game. We are stuffed. We look completely devoid of any confidence and poise. Lost all our contested ball winning aggression. This season looks gone.

We are going to get destroyed. Our season is done.

This is a comedy of dropped footballs. Oliver having a terrible game so far.

Calm down. To hate someone for making a mistake is an over reaction. He didn’t kill your grandma.

Why Oscar why?

Omfg we are so terrible

Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn giving us donuts

Stop fighting and start playing football. FML this team!

Hunt looks hurt. Our midfield is looking like hot garbage. Can’t win a clearance at the moment.

Wtf was that?! Omg Preuss

I have never cared less about a game.

I assume TMac will be a late out and Gawn will spend more time floating back to help our defence. Preuss will help in the ruck and rest forward and poor Weids will be saved from the horror of having to take Centre ruck contests.

The helmet does nothing to stop a concussion. Brayshaw wears it because his mum wants him to. He got elbowed in the head. It happens. He obviously is very prone to concussion and we need to manage that. I assume they’ll do with him what they did with Gus and Jetta before him, both of which, touch wood, have come out the other end.

Yeah it’s not been a good run from our recruits over the last 2 years. Lever and KK haven’t done much wrong. Can’t really help knee or head injuries.

KK ruled out after a head knock last week? Very concerning given his head injuries in the past.

Another 10/10 moment brought to you by MFC trading.

I have a feeling I’ll be crying into my wine by quarter time as Buddy kicks his 17th goal.

It’s getting harder and harder to enjoy AFL these days. Between the MRP, the favoritism, the rigged draw, the pathetic standard of umpiring and the rubbish rule changes, the enjoyment is really passing me by.

I shake my head at the Joel Smith one. FFS!

And yet despite their poor standards and lack of training expectations, they have won 2 games and we have won 0.

Gold Coast have won 2 more games than us. Kill me.

So we did no due diligence and no medical before we traded pick 6 for him?

Correct. He is by far our best player and his physical game style is what makes him so good. It’s like asking Viney to be less aggressive at the contest. Neither of them, nor Gus are there to be beautiful users of the footy. Their role is to get the ball in and out of the contest and feed it out cleanly. Oliver is a good user anyway, but all high clearance players generally have higher turnover numbers. It comes with the territory of always disposing under pressure. When it comes to his disposal by hand he rarely makes a mistake.

Making a call on players is not a reflection of people working hard or not. He may not be the best coach but I have no doubt he works hard and is working even harder now to try and turn things around.
