Very Jaded

Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

Well I’ll take it. If we can start defending, we might win this.

Frost ball at its finest. What a handball! Fritsch is such a damn good forward. A hard one to defend as he is so good in the air and at ground level. If only he played forward all year!

Absolutely nailing it are the umpires tonight haha

Both Wagners need to go! Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

Gil plotting how to further ruin the game from the stands. Jones has got to hit a target! Jesus footy basics 101!

Viney has to pay respects to his opponent. His loose rubbish defensive running is [censored] poor from a captain. Also we are having a good umpiring run. Jones needed to mark that!

Jesus Wagners are awful! St Kilda very cleverly isolating Salem deep. Ratten is an incredibly smart coach. Wish he could come to Melbourne.

Well 2019 called and they are happy to be back in business.

Just stupid from Smith. Boot it out!

Ruck frees. What a joke. Has anyone got any idea when how or why they are paid? Also why is our backline looser than a street walker on a Saturday night?!

I love it when fans boo the goal review outcome. It’s a nice touch.

Jesus Christ what do you call this Melbourne? 2018 called. They want their winning ways back.

Viney sounds like we all feel. He is waiting for the season to finish. Also his shorts obviously shrunk in the wash and lack of finances mean he’s stuck with them until 2020 and he’s very uncomfortable.

Beautiful bullet pass to start the game. Now let’s see how our goal kicking is.

Hamstring 1-2 weeks

Welcome to the season from hell that refuses to die. How many more weeks of this [censored] left?!

This messy trading of picks situation isn’t ideal. If we keep not using first round picks we would end up with a list that will one day drop off the proverbial cliff and never recover. We may not finish this low again for a decade (let’s hope), so if we don’t use pick 2 in the draft we better get an absolute guaranteed star with it.

His resume is impressive and honestly after the run of injury and fitness issues we’ve had, we need someone at the top of their game. He sure has his work cut out for him, as I estimate about 80% of our list is currently injured or unfit.

I know we need the cash, but this deal is an absolute stinker for us and I hope the next deal is negotiated to benefit us, now that we are in a less “got no money will take anything” position. For one it needs to feel like our home game. It also needs to be played prior to a 7 day break or a bye. It needs to come at the expense for other interstate trips and it needs to pay up big. These games are no worse or harder than going to say Perth, but selling 2 of them a year should come with a clause that excludes us from say traveling down to mother effing Geelong on a yearly basis. I hope Pert works this new deal hard to make sure we really benefit out of it.

What’s the go with KK? Has been TBC for ages and haven’t been mentioned recently. Is he done?

I literally said this in my post. Did you stop reading about this sentence? I said they needed time to play together and that Lever and Jetta both are not fit. It was not passing judgement on the backline, it was merely an observation that while our backline is all on the field finally, it isn’t performing to the level we would like due to the above.

Obviously those tweets are revolting and awful. Would be equally as awful if it was said about a male umpire though, and I am sure it has. If people are picking on her for being female they are sexist and are distracted by the real issue at hand, which is her umpiring incompetence.

I thought he was ok. His disposal is terrible which lets him down and we won’t improve until we get some skills on the wings. I don’t know why they refuse to play Salem here. He is the best user of the footy by a mile. I know we use him for kick outs, but surely May and Hibbo have that covered.

Yep. I hope we say Viney is in doubt for this week, make sure Barras cops a suspension then play him. Sick of being the nice guy. To concuss Viney is no mean feat.
