Jaded No More

McQualter has a lot to answer for. Our midfield positioning is a joke.

Has anyone laid a tackle? I can’t remember one.

He won’t get you more than a third rounder.

We’ve had some shocking quarters this year. This is certainly one of the better shockers. Insipid performance by our midfield yet again. Between Gawn, Viney and Oliver not one of them can run at the ball. All three look about 90 years old. Time to play Riv, Kosi and McVee in there. We have nothing to lose.

How the [censored] are they walking thru every tackle? Are we made of paper?

[censored] we seem to have given up Lack of tackling, no defensive effort, can’t win a clearance. Really poor way to finish a season.

Uncontested footy. Ridiculous.

Melksham’s IQ is the only thing that’s on fire today.

We have no idea how to play when Gawn isn’t presenting down the line.

Gawn is cooked. Shocking decision to play him.

[censored] could the umpires not help them? They don’t need it.

Christ this is looking scary. Midfield can’t get their hands on it. Defenders walking it out. Horrible signs.

Well so far we can’t get our hands on it which is always good start.

Disco being sub makes me think that Gawn is still struggling with fitness.

Yep it would take me one and a half hours via a public transport to get to Marvel. Driving would take probably the same, plus paying $40 for parking is not on my agenda. I only just finished work for the day. It’s a ridiculous time.

Will be watching on TV tonight as there is no possible way for me to make it to Marvel at 7:10pm on a Friday night.

I am going to go Carlton because this is what the AFL wants, and just like last year with the Pies, what the AFL wants the AFL gets. Brisbane will [censored] the bed again in finals.

Laurie must not be doing what he’s being asked. There is no other explanation for why they’d drop him after his game last week. He must be missing something.

No, it’s a baby born after miscarriage or stillbirth.

His haters on Demonland have gone very quiet.

That's adorable. Also great news for Tmac and his wife who are expecting their third child after the sad loss of their baby earlier this year. Rainbow babies are very special.

Tom Morris, eat your heart out!

It is, which is why anyone delusional enough to think he could play again this year needs to put those thoughts to bed. He is listed as “indefinite” for a very good reason. There are no guarantees of when he will return to AFL.

Which is to be expected after not one but two internal organs had to be operated on. He is coming off a much better base than most and will be back to his best physical self soon enough. It’s the mental side of things that will be much harder to “train” I think.
