Jaded No More

Looks very sore. Not great to lose a player in these conditions

Watts = robbed!

No dramas. Let's hope we all stay awake for the rest of the game, the team and my half drunk self!

As I said in that edit- it took so long for that post to go thru it was no longer relevant. I tried posting that 25 mins ago!

Lovely end to that quarter, although we missed some golden chances. That Petracca pass to Hogan was amazing. Shame he couldn't hold the ball. Jack Watts is having some sort of season!!!

We are 60% asleep 40% over using the footy. Welcome to season 2016 edit: it took so long for this to post that it was no longer relevant

I'm always a minute away from vomiting when I watch us play.

Is it too early to open the bottle of red I got on standby for tonight? Am anything but confident.

Cross was one of the least selfish players I think the AFL has ever known. He may have been personally disappointed with his career coming to an end, but my god I doubt he holds a single grudge and can't see that him leaving has allowed a number of young players to develop a year earlier. If he had such a massive problem with the decision, he wouldn't still be working at the club. For once we made the right decision, and were able to continue to utilize Crossy in the best possible way. If you wanna bring up past mistakes made with senior players, why don't we reopen the old wound that is James McDonald... now that was one awful mess!

Half of Demonland are acting like a woman scorned. "No way will he stick around, he's just another [censored], he'll leave me for a younger hotter version as soon as he can. He never even loved me, he was just using me for sex"

So happy for Grimes. Hope he has a great game and stays in the side until the end of the season. He might, just might, resurrect his career. I've seen worse players do it!

Disturbing to hear about Watts, how pathetic was our development! But that's a different story for another thread.

I am deeply in love with this guy as a player For years I've been crying out for someone in our team who is fast enough to take on his opponent but also skilled enough not to turn it over He has really changed the way we move the ball, and will become an integral part of our team

You can't compare the difficulty of the role of OMac versus the role of Salem Being a key position defender is much harder than playing on the 6th best forward and being an attacking defender Defensively Salem is average, but offensively he is excellent Comparing the two is like comparing oranges to chickens

If Nathan Jones gets dropped anytime in the next 2 seasons I will chew my left leg off

Of all the stupid [censored] that One Nation and Pauline Hansen stands for, the most concerning thing is her questioning of child vaccination. There was another party (the health party?), who was campaigning against vaccination. Honestly, how incredibly dumb can you be? Yes lets stop vaccinating our kids and bring back horrible preventable disease. That's just what the world needs!

Seriously anyone who doesn't think McDonald is an incredibly valuable commodity to this team, is kidding themselves. He is the only serious quality key position defender we have left on our list. Lose him, and our defence will turn into an even bigger goal-enabling machine!

Hey, Nicholson in his beard days was an excellent defender. Don't be mean!

Anytime friend

He is a beautiful and ravishing gazelle! I heart Jayden Hunt!

Played on one of the best forwards in the comp and broke even, even tho we go our arses handed to us on a platter in some of the centre clearances. But hey, if he saved 90 kids from a burning building you'd still pot him for tripping over on the way out. As for Nate Jones getting slammed, all I can say to you is shame. Shame on all of you. Yes he made disposal errors, but he is always under pressure, always the first on the bottom of every pack, and has carried this pathetic excuse of a team for so long. Show some respect!

He is a space filler, but he fills a need we have which is speed. He is a good ordinary player and he won't be a part of the team going into the future, but he has been servicable this year, and as we all know, no team has 22 superstars.

No matter which way you voted (unless you voted One Nation, in which case please go back to 1998 and uppercut yourself!), this is a bad result for pretty much everyone. I look forward to absolutely SFA being done in parliament for the next 3 years, or however long it will take before they call yet another election. And on a side note, as someone who has gay friends and family, and cares deeply about marriage equality, I also look forward to yet another government doing the wrong thing and not allowing same sex couples to get married. Hooray for being the last remaining English speaking 1st world country to still be so damn backwards and not view love as a universal right for all people!

Said the same thing during the game. Dunn started his career as a forward. Yes he isn't a great player, he won't be a world beater, but for god's sake at least he can take a mark, and he isn't slower than Dawes and his rucking ability is probably about as good (Dawes rucked twice today, and gave away 1 free kick- great success!). We have to find a replacement for Dawes, because seriously he is a liability. He isn't why we lost today, but by god he is a big reason and one that should be easier to replace that Tom McDonald's brain.
