Jaded No More

Absolutely. I’m still angry that we subbed him off last week. I didn’t mind trying him at half back, as I can see the logic, but we tried it for too long. He’s clearly a midfielder and his ability to hit the contest at speed is very much something we need. Was also great to see a different midfield mix at every bounce. Not the usual Viney Trac and Clarry. Viney and Clarry had great games, but we are better off when they are feeding the ball to Kosi or Windsor than we are when they are feeding the ball to each other.

Focusing on the young players, because you expect our senior players to feast on the carcass of this pitiful opponent. Culley a great debut. Took the opportunity with both hands literally. Love his height and size. Langford a gun. Windsor a midfielder. What a shock 🙄 Howes had a fantastic game on a quality opponent. Chin and Bowey continued their good season. Kosi is Kosi. A marvel. Pay him more. Disco safe hands down back and reads the play so so well. Overall it was nice to see those guys continue to play well and show glimpses of the future. A real shame we didn’t play Jefferson today, but credit to Petty he was very good.

It’s almost like he’s a midfielder 🙄

He’s played midfield almost exclusively today. Which I love. It’s where he belongs. Howes was fantastic today on Ryan.

Well done Jai. Great debut.

Some horrendous umpiring today for both teams.

At least they don’t have NWM.

It’s easier to work on set shot goal kicking than it is to teach those contested marks he’s taken. I’m no fan of him as a forward but he’s playing very well today.

West Coast fans here getting stuck into Melbourne. Read the room guys, you’re bad too!

West Coast moving the ball much better than us now. They were comically bad in the first quarter but it’s a fairly even game now in terms of quality.

Liam Ryan lives. Rivers ban for existing reduced to 2.

This is a debacle. The ball use and decision making is painful to watch.

In positive news I’ve managed to clear my work emails while watching this snorefest.

Inspired viewing

Players giving us nothing. Except Gawn. They are dreaming of Bali.

3 week suspension coming up for Rivers on ground of existing

I expected us to come out breathing fire. Instead we came out breathing Jim Beam. Distinct lack of care in this game IMO.

I’m fine to be grouped together but must I smell the onion breath of the 7 fans sitting up my butt?

The 27 people here all got squashed together for some mind boggling reason. Ticket allocation must be managed by selection committee.

I can count the crowd on two hands. It’s not looking good. Lucky to crack 10k.

In a world first Harry Sharp is sub Let’s hope Culley isn’t consigned to a slow death at half forward but actually gets to play some midfield minutes.

This is the coldest place on earth

I’m very proud of everyone’s children for knowing how to walk away from a toxic relationship Also looking for tips
