Very Jaded

Yeah the Fritta pile on is ridiculous. So he burnt a teammate. He is also our most reliable goal kicker and regularly kicks a lot more goals than he’s entitled to given his height and how often he’s triple teamed and dragged down in contests. I rather he goes for goals he reasonably thinks he can kick than we keep stuffing around with the ball inside 50 and make a meal of it. He is an elite medium forward and had like 10 score involvements yesterday. But let’s drop him so we can have an even more dysfunction forwardline 🙄

We are never dropping Fritta. Get on with it. Oliver and Petty automatic ins. Bedford wasn’t great again, so he’s a fairly easy out. Tomlinson however was good and deserves to stay in. So either Lever gets the week off and Petty comes in, or we play Petty forward.

Old man calves aside, Hibbo is aging backwards. Hasn’t lost any speed and is doing a sensational job shutting down small forwards. I also thought Rivers was good today. I like the physicality he brings down back. In fact I thought our backline was very good today even without Petty and Lever being clearly injured. Tomlinson really stood up for mine. Especially once Lever was hurt. Midfield was very well beaten for large parts of the game and we are absolutely screaming for another tall marking target. Doesn’t help that Gawn is clearly not fit.

I just came back to praise Kosi again. What a game. Absolutely magnificent in front of a crowd full of young kids who would be so inspired by him. A privilege to watch this kid in a Melbourne jumper.

Deserves a senior gig and I wish him only success wherever he goes.

Hot garbage. Kosi magnificent. Hibbo and the defenders in general superb. Midfield an epic let down. Bring back Oliver!

That was hot garbage. Thank god for Kosi

What is that set up? We are all behind Gawn and Gawn taps it forward. Why??? We can lose this. What a joke.

STOP KICKING OUT TO GAWN

One of my favourite players of all time. Absolute champ.

We can’t catch Geelong on %

I am so happy for Kosi!

Kosi > Melbourne

Melksham turning it on this quarter.

Gawn is a liability. He’s not fit.

Doesn’t help that we are missing the best clearance player in the game.

Why? He was one of the best naturally talented players I ever had the pleasure of watching. Just because his career ended badly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t recognize the really happy moments he brought us at a time where there was very little to smile about as a Melbourne supporter.

Literally even after 12 cans he would still be the best forward out there.

Are you [censored] serious? He got belted in the stomach 100m off the ball.

Kosi’s random brilliance is the only thing keeping us alive

I can’t see how we win this. Our midfield is embarrassing. Oliver is so clearly the glue that holds us together.

Everyone is standing still ball watching. Tackle FFS

But that’s not his fault. He is playing the role he’s being asked to play which is clearly the TMac role.

BB is playing well. It’s not his fault we don’t have a player in the team who can hit him on the goddamn chest when he’s leading at the ball…

The like for like is uncanny. Although to be fair he’s done an Ok job on Aliir
