Jaded No More

Hahahahaha this team wants to play finals. Hahahahaha.

Midfield is a disgrace.

Gees we are pathetic. How hard is it to block this one dimensional hack? I can't stand that piece of Collingwood turd!

And that's why Watts plays. His ball use!!!

Garbage. We are so flat.

Again we are so loose. Not good enoug. For [censored] sake don't we learn anything?

We look sloppy. Come on Dees sharpen up. Garlett misses too often.

I feel like vomiting. Come on Dees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Brisbane for work. Got Fox Footy at the hotel though so will be watching intently. So nervous. We are both favourite and it's a must win, which is a recipe for disaster with this team. Fingers crossed we stand up and deliver a finals appearance after 11 years!

If you wouldn't give up Frost to get Lever, you are crazy. Frost is a very ordinary user of the ball and an average at best defender.

Plus I'm in Vietnam. Would be rude of them to be so inconsiderate

And how do you propose we keep and pay all these good players if we add Kelly at $1mil+ a season?

We can't afford it and frankly I wouldn't want to spend so much money on one individual. Yes he's a gun but how do we propose to pay all the other young guns on our list if we blow over a million a season on this kid? A team full of C graders like North can afford it. We can't. Besides is a false dawn strategy. We need to build a good team not a team built around 1 good player.

Pretty sure there's a Thursday night match as well. A lot depends on how many finals will be played in both Adelaide Oval and up in Sydney from a ground preparation point of view. I reckon the top 4 teams will get the prime time slots of Thursday night and Friday night and we might get the Saturday afternoon.

Plus it's our only chance to play at the G first up which gives us the greatest chance of winning. And after 11 years it would be nice to play a final at the G.

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.
