Jaded No More

The worst thing someone struggling with mental health issues can do, is mix up with the wrong crowd. It sounds like his “mates” that he so desperately wanted to get back to, are the wrong crowd. Mix that with a footy club that has a poor culture and a failed history of handling troubled players badly, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Our backline is not filling me with confidence. I suppose we won 2 finals with a similar lineup. But May getting himself suspended is really going to hurt on Saturday. A few underdone players too Not confident as I was hoping to be, but maybe just MFCSS kicking in on the eve of a new season

F right off! Poor Vanders he really can’t take a trick. I love what he brings to the side so not a good start to our season really. Not to mention our stupid stupid stupid call to let Joel Smith to play out an irrelevant practice game and injure himself. Seriously dumb!

Anxiety is a horrible and debilitating thing to deal with. Anyone who has had it would know what a struggle it is. It impacts every part of your life and when you’ve gone thru as much as he has, it’s little wonder. I wish him all the best and hope he gets himself sorted. He has so so so much talent and deserves a long and successful career.

A fashion abomination

The tribunal is a joke. The MRP is a joke. Steven May doing something borderline suspendable in a praccy match is a joke. Clowns the lot of them.

Bottom line is, it was a silly thing to do. I like that he plays the line, but if he keeps crossing it, it will hurt the team. Should know better. Really disappointing.

Thanks for sharing. Any idea what AVB is getting scanned? Poor guy has had a terrible run of injuries. Hope it’s all ok and not his ankle playing up again.

Is it weird that I’m happy Viney has a thigh issue? As long as the foot is ok! Wonder what’s wrong with AVB. The other 3 absentees are self explanatory.

Motherfudger A horrid day compounded (no pun intended) by injuries. Thank you next.

Has anyone ever deserved a punch more than Mitch Robinson?

Joel Smith on one leg is better than Joel Smith on two legs? ?

Hunt is just so dumb. Why?

Or at least stick him at FF away from the action.

He’s still playing so mustn’t be too bad

Can this game just end already? It’s an injury a minute at the moment.

If only Joel Smith played as well as he looked

Compound finger fracture. It’s been a bad bad day for us.

Lucky the player got straight up and that May didn’t get off the ground. Hopefully just a fine. I can’t handle our skills. Bloody turnover central.

Bloody hell May could be in trouble for that bump. Really unnecessary.

Hipwood kicked 2 goals in a minute. May went to him and he hasn’t touched it since. What more do you want from a FB?

I think he’s ok. For a young kid he is quite composed. I like him.

Fritsch with a hip. Don’t think he will play again today. Our defence is all at sea. Can’t say I’m full of confidence at the moment. It is just a practice match I know, but between our horrible form and the injuries, I prefer it be over already.

Said Fritsch off injured and said nothing else since. Useless commentators

Viney sore but ok according to Jones
