Very Jaded

No sure Petty can ruck another week and this time against two actually great ruckmen. Much food for thought.

100% TOG. The man is superhuman. By the way, Petty returning from a horrible foot injury with 0 pre season and hamstring awareness a week ago, and is expected to ruck against a really good solid ruckman. The pile on is insane. Roo was always going to do better given he trained to do backup rucking all pre season under Gawn while Petty was riding a scooter with a foot in a moonboot.

Melksham’s ACL and Maynard being a POS cost us a flag last year. Nobody will convince me otherwise.

Australia wins

The only thing the “Package” 🤮 has done in pre season is eat McDonalds and apparently take up a new religion.

Porky can’t run

AMW getting subbed off was purely about fitness. We had a lot of kids running on a very heavy track. I expected us to run out of gas to be honest. Did not help making the sub and then immediately losing Rivers for 10 minutes to a shoulder jab and strap. Also McVee running rings around Porky Stringer was delightful.

Windsor is fire

The complete list of people who need to eat 💩 and die 1. Williamson 2. Stringer GO DEES!!!!

Please PLEASE don’t lose this in the last. We played so well. Hold on for one more quarter!

[censored] these umps Good quarter Dees. Just need to stop bombing it high in the hope Gawn magically appears on the wing.

I am preemptively declaring this as the worst umpired game of the season. The list of umpires is as inspiring as a wet sock.

My Carlton mad bestie is losing her mind at Pitonnet being hot garbage. Who needs ruckmen anyway!

Maynard aside there isn’t a player I despise more than Stringer. I wish him nothing but suffering.

At least I can drive for that game knowing there will be 9 GWS fans there. Wasn’t gonna bother with tonight’s game.

A memo to Metro: it’s ok to finish train works in under a decade and we would all love to have functioning train lines this century. Driving 25 minutes to then catch the train for another 25 minutes is an insanity I could do without.

Giving shades of Demonland

He doesn’t drink, besides the very rare beer. He also would prefer a pizza 😂

He truly doesn’t deserve this level of service 😂

He has been told he must attend. If anyone wants to win the flag in 2025 and wants to fork out $700 for a membership for him so he can attend finals, we will accept 😂

Negative. I repeat, negative

He’s unlikely to attend, but I will let you know tomorrow whether you need to place your bets.

Tonight’s game is the stuff of nightmares for me.

Being a senior coach is about so much more than tactics and team selection. The single most important aspect of being a senior AFL coach is bringing people together. You can have 100 assistants who are tactical masterminds, but if the senior coach doesn't have the respect, love and support of his players, the club is cooked. See West Coast.

Thoughts and prays go out to Petty and his fragile body on this rucking journey
