Jaded No More

Agreed. We are very unlikely to make finals, but how long has it been since our season was still relevant at the halfway mark? At least there is a strong motivation to go out each week, because mathematically finals are still on the cards.

I shed a little tear when he kicked that goal

Him vomiting right in front of me would suggest otherwise. He looks spent and is enjoying long periods of time warming the bench. He is a gun but we need to push Sydney in the middle to have any chance of winning. Already we are carrying Viney with one hand, Trenners who hasn't played for 2 years, Tyson who was cramping in his hammys, Vanders who has been out with injury for a while, and Stretch who is a sub 20 game veteran. That is a lot of players who are not at peak condition. Against one of the oldest and most experienced midfield going around, it could really cost us.

Anyone who doesn't give Gawn top votes is having a laugh. He was singly handedly the most influential player on the ground. Killed 3 opponents, won his own ball, marked well and kicked 3 crucial goals. A giant game from a giant man!

With Tippet out we have on serious advantage going into next week, which is the ruck. Do we exploit that and bring in Spencer? Just a thought.

Fair to say if it was broken he wouldn't be on the ground. I think he was bleeding quite heavily so they did a nice strapping job on him. I think the bye is gonna be important for a lot of players. Plenty of cramping and Dyson was definitely having his hammys worked on repeatedly.

Improving drastically each passing week. Remarkable what experience can do to a player!

If we lose now I blame Nasher!

I just witnessed Oliver vomiting smack bang in the middle of the ground like 5 times.

You can't take smarts away from a player. He still has a good feel of the game and an ability to find time. Loved his goal. Deserves a good 6-7 game run to get back into it

I am kinda of enjoying how we are always a second away from disaster. We just love nearly [censored] up running into an open goal.

Correct. I doubt Roosy was blowing them kisses at the quarter time huddle. A much better second quarter. I wish Nichols and long and painful bout of gastro. The man is a fool.

Seems ok to me and I sit near the bench. Tyson was doing shuttle runs on the boundary for the last few minutes too.

Had all the momentum as didn't capitalized then they smashed us. Dumb dumb dumb.

We are playing some dumb football. Getting murdered on the counterattack. Forward 50 entries are a joke. Signs are not great. Lucky to only be 2 goals down.

Great weather for the walk to the G and enjoying watching various D grade douchebags diving into icy water. Now to win! Can also confirm J Viney is playing. Glove on. Freak!

I would dearly love to see them win the flag, but doubt it will happen. The rest of the top 4 makes me wanna vomit!

Jack Viney is an animal, or stupid, or both... or he won't actually play.

Look for someone else to kick a bag instead #melbournelyf

Surely if Viney plays he'll wear some sort of protective glove. If he gets up he is a freak. I'd rather not risk him to be honest, even though we have to win this game to keep our season relevant.

Me too, but playing alongside his brother can't hurt his chances of signing.

Ummm no... Frawley was played up forward, TMac is still holding the most important position in our backline every single week. Totally different. If anything, playing OMac is probably a way to keep TMac engaged and wanting to stay.

That umpire is a joke. He is a blight on the game, and his need to get his ugly head on TV constantly is getting boring. [censored] him off.

Nobody knows [censored]

Unbelievable that we didn't get a free kick from the Ceglar hit behind play, but Bernie got reported and gave away a free for that farcical love tap. Pathetic umpiring and proof that Hawthorn are protected. I hope that awful Pannell dude takes his bald spot and [censored] off back to some local league never to be heard from again!
