Very Jaded

ANB back in training?

Stupid people be stupid.

Yep and Dogs will still be without Bruce. Bad news for Petty. Hopefully 4-6 weeks means he won’t miss a heap of footy.

Yet the AA FB playing in statistically the best defense ever recorded by champion data isn’t elite. Salem isn’t elite but Saad is?

Hawthorn having more elite players than the premiers says it all.

Sucks for him. He’s an absolute star.

Hahaha Rohan

He was the medical sub wasn’t he?

100% would take in a heartbeat. He would thrive in our environment and have some really good role models in Brown and Tmac when it comes to professionalism. Zero pressure to come in and be the star and a perfect replacement for those two who aren’t getting any younger. Shame we have no cap space and I’m going to assume no draft picks to make this happen.

May played with a torn hamstring. Why didn’t we postpone the game for that? I still can’t get over the nerve of this club. For goodness sake why didn’t you make late changes if you thought some of your players were too sick to play?

I said it then and I'll say it now. Leaving Melbourne for Freo was always going to be a worse decision for Hogan than for the MFC. He went looking for something. What he should have gone looking for instead is the level of professionalism required to be an A grade footballer. Talent alone is never enough. His head, rightly or wrongly, was not in the game and not at the club. I wish him nothing but the absolute best on and off the field, but there is no doubt in my mind that he will never reach his full potential. He has definitely found the right club in GWS. Very little external pressure, no media focus in a non footy state, and a club filled to the bream with first round picks where Hogan is just another player.

Trac did his ACL very early on and he's gone on to become a star. This is far from ideal, but setbacks early in the career of a very promising player rarely mean much down the track. If anything they teach you about resilience and recovery. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Lol at Viney arguing with the umpire. Never lose that anger Jack!

AFL players get Covid tested regularly and would have been tested prior to entry and just after arrival into WA where they were locked away in a hub. It was never going to be Covid. All I hear from this club is whinging and crying.

Or perhaps there would be no Tom McDonald. Hogan and Brown are very different players. Hogan plays best roaming further from goal. In all likelihood if he was still with us McDonald would have been traded and so would Weideman

He’s here for the bullying guys.

The two post season surgeries were minor tonsils and wisdom teeth removals. Not exactly surgeries that will impact on a player physically. I think that’s fair reporting.

AFLW teams given permission to fly in fly out of WA this weekend. Absolute joke. WA is a disgrace. I feel for anyone with family over there.

Lucky the spicy cough going around is preventing these in person events from taking place.

I also think that with so many more people having had Covid, the fear relating to catching it has somewhat been replaced by inevitability. Not to mention that unlike last season, everyone attending will be vaccinated. At some point everyone has to make the personal choice to either get on with life, or keep isolating.

I was born in the year of the Tiger, which means this will be a year of good luck for me. So rest assured the Dees are going back to back and Richmond can get stuffed.

Also in Berwick and can confirm our garbage flooded. Thankfully all my Melbourne gear is stored inside the house and is dry. I assume May’s hamstring tear is no issue? He completed the full session? Any ideas why Lever was on a modified program?

This one is crazy, but also has a lot to do with not playing Norf at Marvel in the last few years. We went through a good decade where we couldn't buy a win there, and now we rarely lose in that hole of a ground.

No Greene for the first 6 weeks will really hurt them.
