Jaded No More

The man himself just posted a photo on his socials in a hospital bed.

Trac should have had NO say in it. He looked like he was shot he was in that much pain. Who cares that his adrenaline said "I wanna play I'll be fine"? How many players get knocked out and want to return to play? Most. The decision should be totally out of their hands. This is why we have team doctors. Imagine if he copped another hit!

Disgraceful mismanagement Should have gone straight to hospital. Poor thing I cannot believe he was allowed back on the field.

ANB is the most disciplined and unselfish player in probably the entire competition. He is the only player on our list capable of executing a heavy tag to absolute perfection. I would play Viney more as a half forward when Nibbler is in the middle, to counterbalance that defensive minded attack that we miss when ANB isn’t there.

Perhaps the pain of the supporters is more pronounced than the pain of the club at the incident. We aren’t pragmatic, we are emotional. Players and coaches can’t afford to be. I would have been fine if we ignored him and won. But we [censored] the bed AND we were unnecessarily friendly to him. A kick in the guts to the supporters and most importantly to poor Gus. Hope he’s enjoying his trip and didn’t watch it!

We’ve lost 4 of our last 5 games, including last year’s wooden spooners. Our only win was, as you say, against a putrid St Kilda who is a bottom 4 side. Hawthorn have won more games than us in that time. Against better teams too.

Football hasn’t been the same for me since last year’s finals and it probably won’t ever be again. Today has just about killed the last bit of hope I had for the season. Time to take a break from football.

Embarrassing how “nice” we are. What happened to the team that was so hard to play against?

We are still lacking in basic skills. Yes we are playing better contested footy, but we cannot execute simple handballs or kicks, and we have lost all ability to defend the turnover. And we are 10 down in clearances with Pies missing De Goey, Mitchell and Pendelbury!!! We are playing soft football.

Imagine letting Maynard and Collingwood have the last laugh with such a limp performance

Shameful. I had enough. Thank god I’m leaving the country. Imagine watching us lose to North 🙄

Billings needed to GO HARD Jesus Christ why 😭

Putrid goal kicking just to top off a great day

The feelings I had after last year’s final against this mob is all coming back. Time for a mental wellbeing switch off

[censored] THIS GAME AND [censored] THE AFL Take Maynard out and call it a day

JVR, ANB, Tmac and Gawn the only winners

Pies can’t miss and we can’t hit a simple target Shameful performance after the slop we put up last week. Giving not a yelp.

It was a free. He held him without the ball.

Clarry is giving away stupid free kicks out of sheer frustration.

Trac needs to go home to bed. He is playing probably with broken ribs and can’t move

I don’t know if I can bring myself to watch the second half. I am beyond exhausted

May having a mare So Melbourne to concede one on the siren I have had enough of this season. As far as I’m concerned play the kids and reset for 2025.

No Lever no defense. I’ve said it.

This literal makeshift garbage forwardline getting plenty of looks and rarely missing. Us? Can’t get it and can’t kick it.
