Very Jaded

Imagine trading a sledgehammer for a feather duster. Ridiculous. I think Max King is going to be a good player, and is clearly talented, but Roo is going to be just as good and is much more likely to stand up in a big final given how physical he is. Nothing better than watching him launch at a pack. Love his confidence and his maturity.

Yes, McGovern is a big sook

The ideal outcome is that he becomes a really good shut down small defender and it allows us to unleash McVee to play higher up the ground. McVee kicking inside 50 = winning

Please form an orderly line behind @WalkingCivilWar

They really are insufferable. Such a collection of punchable heads. They are the Port of Queensland. Forever doing nothing in finals.

If we manage to make the 8 and win a final, that would be a great season given the amount of young talent we’ve unearthed this season.

McGovern had no influence on the game either. By the way, why is McGovern allowed 3-5 business days to dispose of the football? 🤷‍♀️

It’s basically the only timeslot you can take younger kids to IMO. Left the house at 11:30 and home by 5:00. It’s ideal. I love a night game but it’s definitely a solo outing for me (with other family and friends but not the kids)

He’s playing like he’s aged backwards. I swear. I hope we can convince him to go another year.

Correction: he hasn’t won an argument since 2016 when he met me 😂

6- Rivers 5- Roo 4- Windsor 3- Viney 2- Melksham 1- McVee (Ryan was non existent and he’s a match winner)

Long may they rot under Simpson. I hate them. Except Hunt.

I still don’t know how they’re so bad. They have Waterman, Allen and Ryan up forward. They have Yeo, Kelly, Reid in the middle and McGovern, Duggan and Barras down back. That’s some good players who would get a game for any side.

Oh yeah Demonland would definitely not be getting stuck into him like they wrote off Kolt one game in, told us Roo was no good, Jefferson is a hack and McVee should be delisted 🙄😂 There’s a big difference between having swagger and self belief, and carrying on and being arrogant when you’ve played a handful of games for the wooden spooners.

Melky is waiting for his apology from half the posters in this thread.

Absolute trash. Last week the commentators said Kolt was acting when he was hit from behind by Zorko. If he played for Melbourne he’d be shot down by every “supporter” and the media for carrying on like a pork chop.

He rarely loses an aerial contest, so for me that’s a big plus. I would like to see him Petty and Roo in the same forwardline for a while with Fritta, Melksham and Chin at ground level. I think we can afford to play all 3 while we don’t have anyone to backup Max.

The 14 year old is a Melbourne fan now because Rivers is “very cute”. He’s working very hard for us is Trent 😂

@ANG13 did you put the house on a Dees win like I said? 😂 Husband is undefeated since 2017

Gawn missing that last quarter showed how desperate we are for a second ruck option. If it was a close game, having to drag a red hot Roo out of the goal square in order to ruck, leaving Disco as the only tall, would have likely cost us the game.

Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights.

Petty will play if he’s fit. Sorry to anyone who loves to pile on him.

He was getting stuck into Kolt and Gawn wasn’t having it. Needs to actually achieve something before he goes off half cocked at everyone. Very uncool behavior from a first year player.

Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor.

Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?
