Very Jaded

Casey is an impressive side. Of course the quality of the AFL listed players helps, but gee they have some wonderful VFL players and they play so well as a team. Deserve the flag. In hindsight we should have risked Tmac last night. He looks no less fit than Ben Brown.

Some really unfortunate heads on the Brisbane team. I hope Brisbane pick Robinson to play in the prelim. He is pathetic.

I think we need another really quick goal sneak. I think Kosi would be even better with Bedford doing the bulk of the defensive work. Kosi should be attacking 80% of the time. He is a genuine freak that should be given license to attack at all costs.

FMD if Bowey isn’t 100% too good for VFL I give up. He is a gun.

Me watching JVR

Robinson. Lol.

Things that are too good for VFL 1. Bowey

What an embarrassment Robinson is. Just retire already you angry hack.

Love what Wakefield is doing today.

Casey > Melbourne.

Love the follow up from JVR

Also his hands in close for a big man are impressive. He’s a creative player. He’s just not made for that lead and contested mark role.

Weideman is SO much better in the ruck

JVR clever tap.

I am as [censored] as anyone about last night and how this season ended, but FFS what a joke to suggest we should get rid of Goodwin.

Harsh. Petty was amazing for 3 minutes.

JVR gives me great hope for our future forwardline. I also really like Wakefield.

Methison is a disgrace.

The quality of the vision is horrific. So grainy.

Is very clearly struggling with injuries. If he stays I will be delighted. If he leaves I’ll be absolutely furious.

I’m most angry that we let that sack of $h!t Zorko have the last laugh. Brisbane fans booing Petty and walking away with the only win that mattered this season. Argh!!

Other than Oliver, and perhaps Petty, who actually improved this season? Oliver is a next level player. He wants it so badly. I feel like the rest of the list was very complacent. We lost that fire and the desire and we were not ruthless enough. How many times this season have we lost while 20+ points up? 2021 Melbourne would never ever allow that. We seemed to think Bang Bang Bang will just happen again and save us. That we can play 10 good minutes of football a game and win. Need to rediscover that hunger and dare and FITNESS if we want to contend again next year.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. For all of our “learnings”, we’ve learnt nothing. The most disappointing part for me about this season is that we walk away without having unearthed a single young player who I think can really help us improve next year. Casey lost one game all year, yet we debuted one player all year despite wavering form and injuries. Our big move was bringing Melksham back in and throwing Petty forward with 3 minutes left in the season. It was clear that things haven’t been working well since the halfway mark of the year. Yes we finished second and that was a good result, but our form was very up and down, particularly against good sides. And yet week after week nothing changed. The same predicable ball movement. The same dysfunctional forwardline. Hell even our defense has been leaking goals left right and centre. To start 10-0 and go out in straight sets is an unacceptable result.

So now he makes a [censored] move with Petty up forward. What. A. Joke.

They haven’t won a game here since 2014. Let that sink in.
