Jaded No More

Me getting home, turning Kayo on and seeing the score in the Derby

Because #AFLwantsaCarltonflag

GWS have been my flag tip since they were category robbed in the prelim last year by an AFL driven agenda to get the Pies a flag they absolutely did not deserve. I will die on this hill; GWS were the most deserving premier last year.

Thank god Port extended Hinkley’s contract. A proven coach 🙄😂

Adelaide being rubbish is good for us. Either it makes Petty rethink his choices, or it leaves them with better draft picks to give us

An odd feature for a player who is supposedly leaving the club 🤷‍♀️

He is indeed attending on my behalf, but frankly after last week his record is in the bin and so is my love for him*😂 Although, the last loss he saw live was in 2021 vs GWS… and we know what happened after that 😀 *this is a joke, please everyone keep calm

You can't look at that in isolation. Compare the team we played against, who were coming off a bye and then playing a dead rubber against North. We had back to back away games, both very tough contested games that went down to the wire. Brisbane had a week off, and then played a game that was over at quarter time. In a competition as even as ours, that is a massive advantage!

KB has been ruined for me by Pies fans. Even when it's our home game, it is an unpleasant experience. I am going to miss this year's KB for the first time since I think I was in hospital on KB about 13 years ago. I just can't bring myself to go to an away game against the Pies after the horrific experience I had in last year's final. My mental health and intelligence suffered enough after that ****eshow.

I am going to be overseas for work and won't be back until the following week unfortunately. Really the only reason I miss these types of games is if I am away. The ANZAC Eve game is probably my favourite H&A game of the season, so I am really sad to be missing it.

This is great. It's only a small thing, but it shows how far Clarry has come. Last year he was arguing with the fitness staff, now he is helping pick up the equipment after training. Doing all the team things. Well done to him!

I have a few friends who are Saints fans who have lost all interest in the club since 2011. So sad.

Imagine being a Saints fan

I am devastated to be missing this game, if you can go, even if you can't get a decent seat, go. I've been to every single one of these and it is an absolutely brilliant experience, plus I think we will win!

I always think that no individual is bigger than the club; but the Bont is definitely an exception to that rule. Him leaving the Dogs would be the equivalent of Max leaving the Dees.

They will sack Bevo before they let the Bont walk out. Take that to the bank.

This is incredibly true, and I think the AFL is relying heavily on the older generation of supporters. But for younger fans, I think the lack of transparency and clear corruption is going to wear thin. We are also in an era where media saturation is at an all time high, and we all have an ability to voice our opinion on every decision made by the AFL. That means the AFL can't simply sweep things under the carpet and hope the fans will forget. A lot of younger people will be turned off the game if they don't see any integrity at the top level, especially if they support a club that is not consistently rewarded with "the rule don't apply here" magic. It is beyond disgraceful that we could not even bring in an expert witness last week to defend Kosi, but Cameron can bring in two character witnesses.

I will say this again; culture. You cannot preach about having a good culture, and then trade out a contracted Salem for Bailey Smith. Ludicrous suggestion.

Nonna Petracca better be available to give a character reference should Trac ever find himself at the tribunal... "he's a lovely boy and he makes an excellent lasagne, just how I taught him". A farce.

He did get a nice gift, the honour of playing for Melbourne for 4 more years and probably a lot of money for a 21 year old 😂

Get absolutely faaaarked The AFL is a sick joke

This. Can’t whine about culture and then go chase Smith

Sadly no. I’ll be flying from Yiwu to Guangzhong. I’m pretty much screwed 😂

#Culture

Well just my luck I'm going to China I have watched AFL games from there before by paying for a pass on the AFL overseas site, but never tried watching replays on the AFL site itself. I am going to have my roaming turned on with Optus so that's not really an issue, more whether the site will load as normally most Australian sites do not work without a VPN
