Jaded No More

rpfc, it's time to get off the crack son.

No, he's lying about not having finalised a sponsor, because that makes so much sense. And even if he is lying, his lies are more interesting than reading 24 pages of people going "OMG we are never going to get a sponsor, the club will go under, this is a complete mismanagement, it's crisis time. I blame Jack Watts".

Harden up kid. If the worse thing an opposition supporter has on you, is that you barrack for an elitist club, you're doing alright. We should be proud of the fact that we are a club of educated snobs. Beats being associated with this

My only criticism is that Jamison is ahead of Frawley.

Now that we've got a few words on the matter from Cameron Schwab, can this utterly pointless 24 page thread cease to exist? I know we are all Harvard Business graduates with extensive expertise in sports sponsorship, but our input is still unnecessary.

Great work, and thank you for taking the time to answer some burning topics. I'm glad that for once we are in a financial position which allows us to pick an choose the best possible sponsorship deal for us. This place is a mind-field of crap most days, but one thing it doesn't lack, is passion. We all love this club more than is probably good for us, and everybody expresses that love differently. Some of us love blindly and unconditionally (and are hurt often), others are occasional wife-beaters (Australia says no, people!). Whichever side you fall on, nobody here is completely rational, because love isn't rational. As for the blazers, anything that makes us more on trend and fashionable is approved by me. Now please make replicas available for sale, for women, so I can buy one. Thanks!

I'd rock one to the footy every week. Beats wearing a gurnsey *fashion crime*

I'll be sold after he delivers me a flag and a week long bender to celebrate said flag. Until such time, I care not for hasty unfounded judgements.

They only remind you of school uniform because of the tie. If the tie was all navy, they would look good, although I still maintain that the intertwined MFC old- school logo embroidered onto the breast pocket would have looked better. They should have also added waist flap pockets with the red grosgrain to make it less 'traditional' and thus less 'school boy'. And embossed silver buttons. Must resist temptation to redesign everything.

Where the hell is Grimes?!

What SEN needs is less ads and less discussion of non-football related topics. Every time I tune in on the drive home from work, they are talking about finance, or movies, or some other crap. If I wanted to listen to grown men talking sh*t, I'd go to a pub. 3AW nauseates me, but at least when the Jurrah story broke, they were covering it properly. I tuned into SEN and they were talking about building a deck. Really?

I have it on good authority that this will be our new mascot, following the announcement of Ireland being our major FOJ sponsor Edit: that is one creepy looking thing

Excellent, can't think of anything better to do on Friday night than listening to a really biased cover of a glorified training run against Port. So sad!

The sad thing is, that this latest fiasco has put more heat and more attention on the whole Jurrah story, which is the last thing someone in Jurrah's fragile position needs. Whoever is to blame, should really think about the implications to Liam here. It's just completely unnecessary, and another day this story makes the front page, where the best thing for the club, and for him, is to be left alone to deal with this in a private manner. Eddie McGuire, you are a [censored]!

What I don't understand is why the people who have Liam's best interests at heart, would let him do the interview without the club's permission. It doesn't make sense, and I am sure there is some reasonable explanation. As for Eddie, he is a disgraceful low-life scumbag. Should be ashamed and disgusted at his behaviour, but clearly his enormous ego and tiny brain would prevent him from ever feeling remorse. He seems to really enjoy sabotaging our club. I hope Melbourne puts a blanket ban on anyone at the club ever doing an interview with this [censored]. Be it on his devoid-of-any-content Foxtel show, or his MMM show. What a joke.

Yeah, because Liam is such a chatterbox, he is likely to blab to a journalist. I'm 140% sure that Liam did the interview with the club and his lawyer's blessing. We probably need to give him a bit more credit.

There was nothing sinister in it. It was simply Eddie asking Jurrah if he still wanted to play footy, to which he replied that besides family, footy is the most important thing and that he wants to continue living his dream. His grandma then spoke of the importance of Liam playing footy and what it means to his community and other indigenous kids living in remote communities. They mentioned nothing of the case at all. Had to turn it off as soon as Scully's face appeared on my screen. Kid makes me want to projectile vomit while throwing sharp objects at the TV. A lying, manipulative, heartless [censored].

Fingers crossed it's Starwood, and not just because I want a discount at my favourite hotel in KL, which is a Starwood hotel B)

I don't buy the leg excuse. McKenzie has had about 2 weeks of pre- season and was on the bottom of every bloody pack. You either want to go hard, or you don't. Sadly, Davey is the only player in our midfield who can hit a target, so he will get plenty of game time. Find me a replacement, and I'll be happy.

Indeed. Some weeks it seems a bit pointless caring about footy. Exhausting and defeating.

Get poor Davis off Hale. FFS what is the point?

And it's a pretty big one. You can win a flag with average towards and defenders, but nobody has ever won a flag with a crap midfield lacking class.

Umpiring today has been massively sh!t, but that is what happens when you are constantly chasing tail. Our midfield is really just incredibly poor.

Why? Why must we always look so pathetic against this team? I don't expect a win but I expect us not to fall over so weakly without a yelp.

This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they can throw us around and take the [censored] and they do. All I want in the second half is to see us stand up and dish out some tough treatment. Not stupid punches to the head like Sylvia's heroic moment, but really hurt them in tackles, and make them realise that we aren't their [censored]. For now they are miles better than us, and maybe that will never change, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't expect to leave the ground sore and bruised. If we turn this into a hard slog, as opposed to an easy victory, I'll be happy.
