Jaded No More

Here with my 8 year old cousin. His first game. He is apparently a Hawthorn supporter.... Not after today he's not! Go Dees!!!

So now we are screwed by percentage

How was that attempted dive by Thomas just now? He is a muppet Umps are a disgrace!

How much fun would it be punching Lindsy Thomas in the face?

How was that deliberate call just before? Kicks is 100m to a 50-50 contest. Deliberate in favour of North. Sickening.

Buddy!!! Why??????

Fark I hate North and every single one of their players. Bunch of whinging [censored]. Come on Sydney get your shite together!

Is there a single team in the 8 who is actually good?

I reckon Norf will win this and it's all over. Like I need more reasons to loath this club!

Come on Swannies!

And any additional half back line quality means my boy Hunt can play more time on the wing!

Michie and Neal Bullen are good wet weather players. Smart thinking.

And under different circumstances you could argue that Trengove, Jurrah and Wona would all been very good players for us. Not to mention that little sh!tbag Scully.

Thrilled for Oscar. Conflicted in my rage that Hunt missed out again

I always said I wanted a flag for my 30th birthday. It won't happen, but a finals appearance will be pretty magical regardless. #doitforme

If we take this game lightly we will lose. This is exactly the sort of game we are prone not to turn up to. Hopefully with finals a slim chance, the players will be out for blood and percentage. Actually glad a few players had ordinary games this week. Should push them to go better next week especially Viney and Jones.

Oh yes it does. What a bunch of naive optimists we were back then. I loved Bell so much, was so sure he'll be a gun. And McLean, my then favourite player. Makes me wanna vomit!

I'm already there. Didn't even need to turn! Given how many good performances he's put in this year, he absolutely deserves a nomination.

I reckon Trac has the highest ceiling. If he can become a big accumulator, and spend more time in the middle, he can be anything.

To be fair, it was their first win away from home in a while, and they barely won it. I don't think West Coast are a serious contender this year.

To be fair, North are the biggest flat track bullies going around. Beaten 1 side inside the 8 all season I'll enjoy watching them get humiliated in round 1 of the finals

I just love the fact that he looks like he would be the type of player who runs around packs looking for the cheap handball, when in fact he is as hard as anyone in the team. His tackles are great, he runs into packs with no fear, and he loves to go in hard. For someone who weighs 3kgs, and looks like a Disney princess, this kid is just a machine. Obsessed isn't the right word for how I feel about this guy.

Salem in for Harmes if he's ready to go. We need more class off half back.

Yep, as I kept saying, the best way to develop as a KP player, is to play against top players at AFL level. Oscar had an amazing game last night, really did some excellent things, great ball use, very strong defensively and took some good marks. You can just see his confidence is growing incrementally each week. Thrilled for him, and even more thrilled for Picket Fence.
