Jaded No More

Look there is no doubt this isn’t a usual act for Gaff. I can’t even remember him being suspended recently. It was highly uncharacteristic. But that doesn’t make it right. He should get a nice long holiday. Brayshaw is having surgery. On a broken jaw and 4 displaced teeth. That’s not a light love tap. That’s a serious assault. Do I want Gaff hung for life? No. Should he come play for the Dees? Sure. Does he deserve 6 weeks? 100%!

That was pathetic from Gaff. Really really bad.

3 massive games coming up. Enjoy this week for a minute then move on. Finals are not a certainty and if we miss out it would be an absolute heartbreaker. Lets get it happening Dees!

Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

They’ve definitely concentrated on shutting the game down and it’s worked. They’ve got 2 extras in our forwardline.

Oliver is taking the [censored] now

Look I’m not unhappy with that ?

FMD how the hell did we lose to St Kilda. The costliest loss of the decade.

Great round. Hope we ruin that with a 100 point shellacking of GC tomorrow.

I can’t go another season of missing out to [censored] like Hawthorn and Geelong and Collingwood with their [censored] dream draws and sickening home ground advantage and endless umpiring bias. I’m over it.

Terrible results for us so far

Sweet revenge. Suck it Geelong. God I despise them. Gablett missing. Oh how sweet it is! Rance is the most overrated sook in the league. He is rubbish one on one.

I don’t get the angst. He is a kid. Jesus what the hell was I even doing at 21? Not committing to a career, a boyfriend or an outfit, that’s what! Footy is not something you can do unless you are in it 100% all the time. I don’t want someone being miserable at our club just as I don’t want someone taking up a spot on the list instead of a kid who really really has the drive and the passion required to succeed. It’s a win win.

Good luck to him. No point at his age to hate what you do. He has years of doing a crappy job to pay the bills ahead of him ?

He's our best leader and equal best clearance winner along with Oliver. You want to keep playing Tyson? He is a massive loss. We are a far better team when he plays.

Another year gone because of that foot. I know some of you are optimistic, but I worry this will ruin his career. His foot is clearly struggling under the pressure of being an endurance athlete. It's a massive worry!

The minute you “ban” something is the minute you open up a whole host of opportunities for media and players to get themselves in trouble. All of a sudden a glass of wine is a big deal. A beer after a game is a sin. I think it’s great that the players are making sacrifices to be at their peak, but having a drink here and there is also ok if it doesn’t affect a players recovery.

Apparently channel 7 said 3 weeks. FMD we are not having a good run are we? I suppose when you look at GWS, Sydney and Collingwood tho, we haven’t got much to complain about. Yet. I’m sure next week 3 more will go down or something.

I want more night games. Be it Friday or Saturday. We deserve the exposure ffs. Can make do without Thursday nights. They are hard to attend for people who work.

Dragging my boyfriend along so make it 27,001. 13 GC supporters, 26,988 MFC supporters and 1 disgruntled partner.

I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Would be very Melbourne to lose this. MFCSS is alive and well.

As I said he is the best player I have ever seen. Was not lucky enough to see either Barrassi or Flower.

Agreed. Adelaide fans I’ve met and matches I’ve been to in Adelaide have always been pleasant. Port are the scum of SA. They are horrible awful people. I went to a match in Adelaide against Port when I was 16. The amount of sexually crude comments hurled at me, a friggin 16 year old, was revolting.

This is what I didn’t like about this game, it’s that again it showed up how inconsistent and unreliable we are. You watch the first quarter in isolation and we are seriously wooden spooners. Sloppy, messy, can’t hit a target, can’t tackle, can’t win a contested possession. You watch the third quarter in isolation and we are seriously the best side in the completion. We are scary good. 14-2 clearances. Complete dominance. We have not gotten the balance right. We are either stinking it up or running riot. We’ve become synonymous for excellent third quarters, as much as we have become synonymous for flat last quarters. I know we are young, inexperienced, bla bla bla, but to have lost to [censored] teams like St Kilda and then nearly beat Geelong at home and beat Adelaide on the road is so costly. I really believe that when we are on we can beat anyone. Richmond included. But we are never on long enough, and we struggle to sustain our brilliance when teams pressure us in the contest for long enough, to even be a contender.

Happy to report that my hand is not broken. But it is very bruised and swollen. This club will kill me.
