Very Jaded

Lewis was in his 30s when he came to us, and on his last legs. Tomlinson is in his prime. I don't understand the comparison at all. This guy has played for a very good team for a very long time, he has speed and agility, and he cost us nothing. I don't care about contract lengths and figures, I leave that up to our list managers. I care that we got a quality player who will be in our starting 22 nearly every week, and we did not need to give up a single thing for him.

It would be a massive mistake to trade Gus, unless the deal was one that made us a far better team. He is a very good player who had a poor year, as did like 40 of his teammates. There are wide spread reports that he's had back issues, and he was also played well out of position for most of the year. Nobody thought he was slow when he came 3rd in the Brownlow last year, because he was playing in his natural role as an inside mid, where he excels. Unless he says I'm keen to go, I wouldn't even entertain a trade as neither Freo nor West Coast would have anything good to give us (that they would part with... I mean Gaff or Hill for Brayshaw sure, but lets get real!). I understand we have a surplus of inside mids, but contested ball wins premierships. You can never have too many quality ball winners.

A massive slap in the face to Melbourne if we were chasing him seriously and he picked the Saints. Last chance ever to play with his brother, and Saints aren't exactly firing. We are not having a good time luring players at the moment. I suppose finishing 17th and being always mostly terrible will do that.

I have no words for the results tonight. Shocked and confused. Gawn robbed. Viney? I just don’t know. 2019 continues to make no sense.

Josh Wagner is a mind boggling decision. And the less I say about ANB the better. The rest you take or leave. Low cost and low risk.

We don’t want to keep Stretch which is fair enough, but Josh Wagner and Neal Bullen get 2 more years?! Jesus.

Reading we’ve re-signed 7 fringe players

Watching yet another finals series without Melbourne

And not a minute too soon That smug [censored] Dangerfield can wipe the stupid smile off his face.

We could have drafted Martin....

Will this ever be us? ?

Christ on a stick how fast are Richmond compared to our team? Literally night and day.

Get [censored] with this [censored] 50 to that [censored] Dangerfield on the siren. Disgraceful Razor!

Max Gawn carrying the rest of his teammates all year

He’s a good “just in case Gawn gets injured” but he’s no second ruck/ resting forward.

Driving to the MCG ....

Anyone but Geelong. That smug [censored] Dangerfield holding up the cup will just about do it for me. Thank god I'm leaving the country on GF eve. I'll be getting drunk on $2 cocktails in Thailand instead of watching the game.

This is the best thread we've had in ages. Melbourne fans watching us play every week

And then me from rounds 18-23

Me from rounds 2-17

Worst possible outcome. GWS vs Pies. Has there ever been a worse final? Gutted for Brisbane.

Terrible news. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Life is short. Don’t waste it.
