Jaded No More

Salem is a must. I don't know why he was dropped but gees we need his class at half back. Vince and McDonald taking the ball out of the backline is a disaster. It makes me have multiple tiny cardiac arrests during games. We gotta cut that crap out and put Salem back. With Lewis now playing wing and doing really well, there's a spot for Salem and it will be made available by dropping Wagner who is just not great at anything. Sounds like Viney is a no go. And honestly Pedo and Hogan worked a treat yesterday. I'm worried Watts ruins that balance a bit. Unless they play Trac in the midfield all day, but he doesn't look fresh enough to do that. So for me it's In: Salem Out: Wagner Stretch was ordinary but I would give him another week. He has speed and skills that give us a nice balance. The great thing is there are a good handful of players fighting for a spot in the team should we make finals, especially with Viney being an automatic walk up start when he's ready. That means everyone slightly on the fringe both in the seniors and at Casey should be playing out of their skins this week to get a go next week if we make it.

Look it certainly beats talking draft picks at round 22 that's for sure!

Because we need him to receive the kick out and drive us forward. He is a waste kicking it out.

In a way struggling yesterday gives me a weird sense of confidence against Collingwood. It would have scared the players and they know finals are still on the line because our percentage is not great.

I can't handle Vince kicking out. For this reason alone Salem must return!

Playing Sydney is the worst possible outcome. I reckon they will win the flag or at least make the GF. They will destroy us. Port in Adelaide are a possibility. But first and foremost we must win on Saturday. Finals for the first time in 11 years. What an achievement that would be!

West Coast are crap. Adelaide will beat them easily. Sydney and Port will also win their games. What we need is for Saints to get up for Nick's last game so Tigers finish 6th then we must win and we get to play Tigers at the MCG. I need everyone to barrack for Saint Kilda. This is of vital importance!

All he needs is a couple of good touches early and you know he's in for a good day. Massive confidence player but gees he's a gun! Goal kicking was on point today too. Really helps when we lower our eyes as well when we deliver the footy. Kudos for ANB for being a deadly kick inside 50!

Oliver well held. Only 30 touched and 6 clearances. He's [censored]. Trade bait. Brisbane has a very good midfield and Martin was excellent in the ruck (why did we let him go?!). They dominated the clearances for long periods of time but we were just a bit more polished when it counted. Gees we love doing things the hard way tho. We switch off so easily it's embarrassing. Finals will destroy us if we do not fix that quick smart. Hogan and Pedo were immense. Won us the game. Hibbo not far behind. Now for Richmond to turn on that special Richmond loser mentality and drop the next 2 games so we can play them in week 1 of the finals ?

Agreed. How he got a game ahead of Salem I will never know. He is an ordinary player. Hunt is very sore. Some sort of lower back issue. Looked unhappy on the boundary line.

Omg can we stop this [censored]? Hogan is an A grade player. He is the reason we are still in this game. Our team is 100% better off with him in it. Our players just need to stop being so dumb and lower their eyes going inside 50. It's not rocket surgery!

Correct. As much as the umps are rigged, we are playing like absolutely garbage. Hibberd, Hogan and Tyson. Three players who are winning their spots. Everyone else is in first great and taking a nice week off.

Garbage soft lazy football. 11 [censored] miserable years. Play like you care!

We are playing like we lack total respect for Brisbane. Pull the finger out. Finals and this game are NOT a given.

If Bugg comes in I'll spew! Luckily he won't. Does not deserve a senior game this year.

I really never understood the Melbourne stereotype... oh no, how horrible to be considered educated, well off, and having good taste. I would much rather be toothless, dumb and on the dole.

He is tired and he needs a break. However if we rest him this week, are we saying to ourselves that we have this win in the bag? We MUST win the next 2 games to play finals and then we have a week off. Unless he is injured, I think he is good enough to warrant a spot in the 22. Even as a stay at home forward. There isn't anyone in the VFL at full fitness who would give us more than Trac currently is.

Dream scenario Tigers finish 5th and it's us vs Richmond first up. 100,000 people at the G. Would be rather glorious. Most likely we we will Port or Sydney.

Yep Tiny Ray and that bald Nichols guy who looks like a cross between a murderer and a clown, always screw us. If that turd Ray could bounce a footy Max would not be needing to protect himself from getting kneed in the head, hence no frees.

Not a time to rest anyone right now. We are battling for finals and if we take Brisbane lightly we will lose.

When footy is life but cheese is also life #respect

The whole members wing gasped in horror. I felt a wave of vomit coming up but when he got himself up again it was such relief. In a way that hit was good for him.

This is what happens when they drop Salem. Stupid decision.

Maybe if that tiny tiny little turd of an umpire could bounce the fucken thing, that would be awesome.

Jokes. I definitely was not a fan of his recruitment or indeed of him as a player. He's winning me over though.
