Jaded No More

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.

As much as it pains me to say it, he is our match sealer. Very good goal kicking and has been good playing wing and half forward this season.

Gus was my highlight. Sucking for two quarters was my lowlight. Another game another heart attack. Cheers Melbourne. Season is still alive and that's all that matters.

Goodwin dropped Salem and replaced him with Wagner who can't tackle and can't kick. Wtf?! And Watts is soft as butter but at least he's ready for AFL. Weids is so far off.

Typical Melbourne. And we want to make finals. Lol. These players want to drink Bintangs in September. They are not interested in being winners.

Garlett went back to WA again this week didn't he? Maybe personal issues are affecting him? Not making excuses, just wondering. Trac looks tired. He and Oliver must be hanging for a week off!

If watching Jones winning a flag for us doesn't move you to tears, you aren't even a Melbourne supporter. Nobody will deserve a louder cheer than Jones. Followed closely by whichever genius coach breaks this premiership drought.

They have us on the rebound when we turn it over. A few times they streamed into goals and were able to pick loose man in their forward 50 which is disappointing. Overall though we are playing a lot better faster tougher footy. Tackling is better although Wagner just totally shat himself on the wing before Gus came in to help. Speaking of Gus, what a highlight! The kid is a star.

Amazing return. What a star in the making. Go Gus!

Weather is meant to be very nice which helps. Sunny top of 18!

Harsh dropping Maynard, I thought he was pretty good. Wagner is an ordinary replacement for Salem/Frost to be honest.

Agreed. Back injuries are awful! Not even Viney could play through that.

Is a bulging disc and a slipped disc the same? Because I had a slipped disc last year and it was one of the worst injuries I have ever experienced. It was so debilitating, I couldn't even lie down without pain. I have no idea how he is even playing with that type of back injury.

He is clearly too good for VFL. The VFL time was about using the techniques he's been taught on leading with the head and gaining confidence. He's obviously ticked those boxes and if not selected this week, he must be close and the club is trying to motivate him to keep pushing. Cannot wait to see him back out there.
