Very Jaded

Well Blues aren’t full strength. They’ll be without McKay and Martin (pending a lawyer miracle). Our issue is that virtually all our injuries bar Gus are in the one area of the ground. We have lost Petty, Melksham and now JVR up forward. Our forwardline is suspect at best and unable to kick a score at worse. We are lucky that we have the game and the defense to keep scores low and make games a slog, so we are always a chance. If we take our chances in front of goal we can absolutely beat Carlton. The bigger issue is how do we get over Brisbane who we conceded over 100 points at the G last time we met.

Pick 11?! Wow I’m happy with that return!

Even my dog who loves ALL people would probably take a dump on his foot

Lions kicked straight all game. Port shot themselves in the foot early. Lost players to injuries. Game. Done.

I love Ben Brown. He seems like an angel

I mean you can’t foresee injuries

Demonland: the crepe paper specialists

I’m just offended by the pathetic wording. Sounds like they went to chat GPT and typed in “write me a banner for the Port vs Brisbane game”

Ollie Lord… can we get him in the Grundy trade?

At least we can defend to keep the score low enough to win on behinds. Port can’t.

Even more so if our player hit someone like McCartin who has a well known history of concussions.

Speaking of triggering, what the hell is this banner effort from Port? @WalkingCivilWar you would never sign off on this!

Your problem is listening to Dangerfield and Dunstall

This forwardline efficiency from the Lions is very triggering

Tom Morris lives rent free in Gus’ bin

Chris Scott said they fear nobody in finals… their only fear is the jello cups running out at the retirement home

It was a goon sack

One way or another this goes to appeal. I hope it drags on and on and it impacts their preparation and Maynard is suffering from the nervous runs all week in the lead up. And then the appeal fails and the Magpie Army with their 7 brain cells and 3 teeth lose their mind. And I get to watch Maynard’s sad face in the stands on prelim day.

Jack Martin got two weeks for his action last night If that deserves 2 weeks, then Maynard is absolutely [censored]

How fair is it that Gus might miss not just finals but the rest of his career? Maynard has form. Is a thug from a long way back. Not two minutes after he smashed Gus he head-butted Viney. Ffs he made a decision to go the man. He has to live with those consequences. Consequences FAR less severe than the consequences Gus will now have to deal with it. I am in disbelief that you are actually feeling sad and sorry for Maynard and comparing his suspension to players who got injured in legitimate footy accidents and missed finals. Jesus wept.

But wait, the lawyer hasn’t made his appearance yet

To be fair did anyone think they’ll make finals?

Just like we all were with Kosi in round one. Despite Smith being completely fine!!!

Let’s concentrate on the young man who might have to give up footy all together in the prime of his career because Maynard doesn’t know how to smother without turning his body and tucking his elbow in 🙄
