Jaded No More

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.

Glad we are making a statement. Time to stand up and make this season worth while. Super disappointed in Frost and Watts in the last 3 weeks. Salem obviously isn't delivering to instructions. Good to see Goodwin push this side to be better.

Very few positives to come out of yesterday. The only ones for me were Maynard's debut and Gawn showing glimpses of his old form back. Sadly our midfield was all at sea yesterday and last week. That is why we lost, we struggled for effective clearances and our spread was non existent. They made us look like a slow second rate team. I was disappointed that Goodwin didn't try something different after half time. Salem, Hunt or Garlett on the wing to give us some pace and run would have been great. Instead he put Tom in the backline, even when we had the wind advantage so we lost our only effective forward. It was a dumb strategy.

Oh god has Joel Smith really done an ACL? Gees we can't catch a break. Great news for Gus. Time to bring him in.

And just like that we are 10th. Great work Melbourne. Taking disappointment to new levels!

I reckon Melksham will get suspended and that's the only change Goodwin will make. Stretch in maybe?

Good for Maynard! Something to smile about at least.

Been very good. Slick hands, smart ball use, strong in the contest. Nice signs in what has been a midfield demolition.

So many players totally unsighted today. Jones, Hunt, Garlett, Trac. Hard to win with such a massive lack of effort from so many of our better players.

Oh great now this piece of [censored] is going for goal. What a joy today has been.

Maynard been impressive. Pity the rest of the team has played like wooden spooners.

Gees Mumford is a fat piece of [censored] isn't he? If only he fell on Scully, broke Scully's leg and his own simultaneously that would be pretty great.

Salem back on!!!

Salem apparently running on the boundary. The only piece of good news today.

How. The. [censored]. Is. Deledio. On. His. Own. In. The. Square????!!??!!!?!!? We are a disgrace today.

Disgusting lack of effort. This goal just about sums up this game. Our tackling is disgraceful.

I reckon he broke his leg, so yes. This season has had as many downs as ups. Injuries being the biggest pain point.

Mother [censored]. I'm done with this game. Call it a day and move on.

Omg enough with Harmes. I can't anymore.

Sick of Harmes and his stupidity.

I hope Mumford does a knee. I'm so sick of this pretender of a footballer being a fat thug.

Commentators telling me the game is still alive. Epic lols

Turning point of the season. Even if we somehow make finals, we will get smashed first up. I shall be comfortably sipping cocktails in Vietnam come September and our players will be doing the same for the 12th year in a row.
