Jaded No More

No chance Danger plays next week if he’s got even a slight hamstring awareness. With his history and at his age, they won’t risk it.

It’s about our society accepting these types of clearly violent behaviors. The reality is that footy players are looked up to and idolized by many people, especially young men. When we laugh off and not punish pure thuggery and are accepting of it, we are signaling that this type of behavior is also acceptable off the field. Our society is not nearly hard enough on violence, especially towards women. This notion that boys will be boys, is so wildly accepted in the AFL, and unfortunately in the wider society too. We [censored] on about the illicit drug problems in the AFL, but are totally fine to let players gut punch each other off the ball… because that’s not at all sending the wrong message!

The fact that the AFL lets this type of stuff go, and commentators laugh off this type of behaviour, is not lost on me as I watch yet another woman be killed at the hands of a man. We do not do enough to eradicate this type of [censored] “boys will be boys” behavior in footy, and it’s very much reflected in our society too. Punching someone in the guts off the ball should never be allowed. It does nothing for our game and it’s the easiest non football action to judge and punish players for. The Pendelbury defense of “I was provoked” is up there with the “she was asking for it” defense. Putrid.

Logging in from China to say suck [censored] to both Pies and Bombers

A reminder that we’ve looked a million bucks early in 2022 and 2023 and it amounted to absolutely nothing in the end. This is a long season and banking wins now is more important than being the best side in it.

His parole officer says no 😂

I watched the first half after working some VPN magic then had to board a flight. I could tell we were a smidge off with execution but I was so sure we would open the game up in the second half and win. Imaging landing and seeing that’s exactly what happened, getting a text from my dad to say nobody was injured, and then coming to Demonland to see the wrist slashing. Worst game we’ve ever played? Surely anyone who says that has only lived max 4 years. I am looking forward to watching the second half of the worst game ever.

I once dated a North supporter, and had an [censored] of a boss who was also one, so can confirm at least two exist.

The only team that’s more St Kilda than St Kilda is Fremantle

Jayden > Jackson

Why do I enjoy watching Freo lose so much?

Yep, same old same old. They won’t do much damage in finals IMO. Meantime West Coast have forgotten the game goes for 4 quarters.

Amen But also f¥£> Brisbane. Suffer you insufferable bunch of d!kheads

Geelong have beaten: Saints at taxpayer stadium by 8pts Adelaide who have won a solitary game Hawthorn - spoon race Dogs in Adelaide by just 4pts North - spoon race 2.0 They’ve had a joke of a draw, and I reckon this is the first good win they’ve had all year. They play Carlton and us next. This will tell us where they really are.

We did win the free kick count against Port, but lost it comprehensively against Adelaide 🤷‍♀️

Do what I do and avoid watching games where those 3 are involved. I’m loving this derby, recommend watching.

Harley Reid. An absolute freak. The most Dusty player I’ve seen since Dusty. I can see why West Coast refused every offer they got for him.

I mean I wouldn’t wish concussions and head injuries on anyone so I hope he makes a full recovery. We need to beat teams at their best. We should be able to beat Geelong with or without Stewart.

Reid is gonna be some player. Special.

That’s not an excuse against West Coast 😂

West Coast are gonna 💩 the bed in 3…2…1

Well you don’t know that. Concussion protocols are one thing, recovery from concussion is another. It’s not always linear.

Zorko dropping the ball like it’s his marriage

And a social media embarrassment

I’m watching the Derby. What happened to Stewart? We play Geelong in two weeks
