Jaded No More

Now the real question is, do I spend the next 8 hours and 45 minutes on the plane watching the replay 3 times, or do I sleep because I have 7 straight days of work ahead?

Makes sense. Daw was not as spud-like as I had hoped. Definitely better than he was in the JLT when he stunk it up. Mind you, some of our inside 50 entires would make any defender look like an All Australian.

Yet 10 years ago Watts would kick 4 and the commentators would still say he is no good. Not to bring the Watts thing up again, but just goes to show you how the media loves to pick on Melbourne no matter what. St Kilda are hot garbage and McCartin, who I feel a bit sorry for, is not definitely not gonna help them get better right now.

Comm games. Apparently got $1mil for this deal. Sounds much more lucrative than the NT deal we have going!

Are we really going in with Harmes as backup ruck now? Because that is seriously weird! Why not Frost? Hawthorn’s speed is a killer. We need to cover their runners. Hunt seems like a natural but does he walk back in after 1 week?

How good is Oliver? Even when he has a “quiet” game he still gets 5 clearances, 8 goal involvements and 2 goals. If he was anyone else you’d say he was BOG, but because it’s Oliver we just go “yeah he was fine I guess”. Kid is a damn freak!

Agreed. But it’s not normally his go, plus his gut running I thought was outstanding.

Exactly. If I die today, at least I died watching us beat North! #lifewinning

The only people I know are jerk ex boyfriends and bosses. Hope they are suffering tonight!

13 weeks each, because Melbourne. Brown 5 Brownlow votes. 2 for acting.

That unpaid mark just about killed my soul.

We beat North. We beat Ziebel, Cunnington and Sideshow Bob. We beat a Scott brother. We beat Nicholls. Get carried away!!!!!

Agreed. Oscar is in my votes. Great game from him, helped by a much better defensive effort all around.

[censored] yes! It’s like winning a [censored] grand final. Rejoice! I’m gonna drink all of Malaysia airlines champagne tonight to celebrate. GO DEES!!!!!!!

789 inside 50, 2 goals. Wasteful.

Nicholls needs to go impale himself on a large sharp object, since he so enjoys anally penatrating Melbourne players.

3 weeks in and still none of our coaches have figured out how to set up the forward line without McDonald. We are still bombing it in and wasting opportunities. This will go down to the wire, and I’m not convinced the results will go our way. Mentally they know they’ve got us beat the past 17 games. They have that edge. In a close game I don’t think we win.

If they just replayed the last 8 games against North and saved me the hassle of going to this shizen; that would be appreciated. The umpires should be taken out the back and shot. Disgraceful display!

Just announced on SEN. Tarrant out. Majak in.

I feel sick! This is my grand final. I fucken hate North. I wanna win so irrationally! Tarrant out is fantastic news.

If we win today I reckon 45,000 is in the bag. Lose and the microwaves will be out in force.

I had a dream we lost and I had an emotional breakdown. Maybe in 8 hours that dream will be a reality. Feeling a real lack of confidence today. After last week, even if we are 60 points up at half time, I still will be expecting a loss. North just know how to beat us.

I understand what Bugg brings to the side, but I also understand that his skills are below required AFL level, and his inability to hit the scoreboard severely hurts the side. For me he is on borrowed time.

Amen. I want to win this game more than I want to play finals this year. I know that's irrational, but I just can't stand North! Every supporter of theirs that I've ever met (all 3 of them?), was a horrible human being.

If we don’t I am leaving the country after the game (really), and never coming back!
