Very Jaded

We didn't win the flag because 3 of our most important players were broken by the time finals came around. Gawn was seconds away from missing with a rib injury, Trac played with a broken leg and Clarry with a broken hand. Lever was barely holding his ankles together, Fritta was injured in a warm up and Tmac was out with a busted foot. Oh and Jackson had checked out, Salem was injured, and BBB couldn't walk let along run. We finished second on the ladder despite our less than ideal forward line functionality and I still maintain that had we stayed really fit we would have won the flag.

Good result for us. And happy for JUH after the rubbish he went through last week. Embarrassing that we are still dealing with racism.

This game is so painful

Really want the Dogs to get up even tho I despise them. I can’t stand the Lions either and it’s good for us to have competitors drop games they should win.

Yeah that’s an interesting one. Hopefully all is ok. May redoing a calf in round 3 after playing 0 games and missing half a season sounds about as MFCSS as you can get.

Oh get absolutely stuffed Can we do some sort of sage cleanse? Too much bad juju

Wait what? Source?

It's going to be a fascinating team selection this week. I am wondering if Tommo stays in as well as May, so we can play Lever in a purely third man up intercept role in the absence of Gawn. That leaves Grundy and TMac to share the ruck duties, with JVR potentially taking a few forward half ruck contests.

He also wouldn't want to put in 2 stinkers in a row. I expect a big response from him.

Going to be very special seeing the #2 run out on the G again. Hopefully Jonesy can hand him his jumper.

We might have finally found our Hibbo/Jetta replacement

Thought his comment re: not having another true bye again were interesting. The AFL has screwed us 2 years running with not giving us a proper bye, and it's absolutely ridiculous.

At least we aren't paying him $87,000 per mark 🤪

When one door closes (Gawny), another one opens. Congrats to JVR on his debut. Go well!

The playing group clearly don't agree, as they vote on the leadership each year. This is not a Goodwin and co decision.

Said so casually like his kid plays Aus Kick on Sunday at 8am.

The derby this weekend is gonna be interesting Will WCE fans boo Jackson? They boo just about everything else…

The MFC this last week

And nobody has taken that moment away from him. He’s always going to be a premiership player. But let’s not pretend like we won a flag because of him. He won a flag because he played for us.

It’s like he’s a real footballer guys

Freo are so embarrassing

My hope is that the Gawn injury is a blessing in disguise as it’ll sort of force our hand to play JVR who might just be the star we need to change our attack. It also gives the rest of our leaders a good opportunity to standup. I was very disappointed with how the group reacted when Gawn went down. Other than Lever, the rest of the leaders did not deliver. Viney especially needs to have a good game this week after a poor showing last week. I want to believe last week was a one off. If we beat the Swans we are 2-1 and head into a stretch of “softer” games in a great position even without Max. Lose and you’d want to make sure you win all of the next 6 games.

Welcome to the hell hole that is WA. Name the last player that went back there on massive coin and delivered.

One must also ask about Gawny’s knee and how he expects his rehab to go

This thread stinks of JINX
