Very Jaded

Max Gawn deserves to win another flag. He is arguably the best player I’ve ever seen play for Melbourne. A god amongst mere mortals. His [censored] plays better football than Mason “I’m a yank thug” Cox.

We have to play another tall defender next week. Both Carlton and Sydney have good key position talls. If anyone should be dropped out of the backline to make way it’s Salem. Completely ineffective again. Hibbo was very very good on Elliot. He gives you everything. JVR will probably go. That leaves Grundy or fresh air. Gus will need to be replaced by JJ as he’s the most like for like. Harmes is a big no for me. Laurie or Woewodin to sub. At this point it’s shuffling the deck chairs on our Titanic cursed forwardline.

I hope we send in a harsh medical report with a long history of Gus’ concussion injuries, which are very clear to everyone. That helmet is not a fashion statement. I hope Gus will be ok. He was previously one head knock away from retirement.

Never seen a player smother a ball with a shoulder. Power move that.

And you’ve obviously never known someone who has long term health impacts from repeated head injuries. I hope Gus makes a full recovery. Wonder how you’ll feel if he doesn’t play again.

Because a [censored] player with form took our a guy intentionally IN A HELMET. A concussion has far worse consequences than any knee injury. This is a guy with form. He’s done it before and he will do it again. Imagine being Gus’ poor mum!

This. He had no reason to leave the ground. None.

Because he lined Gawn up from literally the first bounce. He kneed him at every chance. He also kneed Trac. He is another hack thug who plays with one purpose and one purpose only, to injure his opponent. Our game is so much better than these truly awful footballers who run around like some pseudo thug heroes. I note Maynard didn’t line up Viney. Because he’s a coward. Likewise Cox. Go for players when they’re open and vulnerable. Gawn again proved that Cox is nothing but a hack. He destroyed him.

I don’t know if I have it in me to go out in straight sets to Collingwood and Carlton.

To be fair we ran out of options. Petty and Melksham going down left us with nothing else. We need to move heaven and earth to get another forward.

Gus copping a concussion could also be career ending! Maynard lined up a guy going into open space running full tilt. In a [censored] helmet because he’s had a long history of head injuries. It was a pathetic thug move.

Had 2 touched and 5 ducks. What a player 🤮

I would do it again. Maynard is a serial thug. He lines up players. Same with Cox. Bog ordinary footballers who deserve some of their own medicine back.

How is that reactionary? We had 32 more inside 50s. We could not score. End of story. It’s the same issue we’ve had all year.

[censored] I hate football. Watch that inbred hack Maynard get off

Choked in front of goal Choked when the heat was on I wish Cox and Maynard both do their ACL next week. Trash thug hack footballers.

Midfield has to lift. Come on this is pathetic.

We can’t win games with this forwardline. The Petty and Melksham injuries have cost us a flag.

If we can’t win this I hope we break the knees of Cox and Maynard. Filthy pieces of [censored]. Useless footballers.

Melky sitting on the bench💔

Just saw Ben Holland and James McDonald. Good signs.

Still pinching myself that we are a top 4 side playing finals. Again. Waited a long time to support such a successful club. Trying to enjoy it and not just [censored] myself with nerves.

And people who go to the theater don’t barrack for Collingwood

All mouth no teeth

First bounce Will it be: Gawn, Viney, Clarry, Trac or will Kosi go in with Trac forward?
