Very Jaded

Speaking of our forwardline, I’m seeing TMac shoe-less on Instagram at Jack Viney’s wedding and someone in the background is yelling “it’s the damn toe”... Do not panic. Or do.

Thanks!

Congrats Maxy! Seems you and my partner had the same idea. If you wanna do a joint wedding, I promise we can schedule it outside the footy season.

Happy new year to everyone and happy premiership 2019 to all!

Mental health issues are so prevalent in young people these days (in people of all ages really). It is one of our biggest epidemics in terms of health and well being in Australia. Why we don't spend more money and time helping and educating people, as a society, is beyond me. There is still a stigma attached to having depression or anxiety, especially amongst men, and until we remove this stigma, people will continue to suffer in silence.

Exceptional player and exceptional human being. We are lucky to have him!

Last year was crap, now it's just been upgraded to a steaming pile of crap.

So.... like half of our best 22....

When is Lever heading off to the US for rehab?

When was the last time we had a home game versus Carlton?

I am sure Richmond, West Coast and Collingwood fans aren't thrilled about playing us twice either... think about that!

Agree with this. Commercially it is an amazing draw. But I only care about winning flags, and this is one hard draw. However realistically I think our tough end to the season this year, is what drove us to succeed in finals. No point having a soft draw and making it on the back of that alone... hello Geelong!

Geelong in Geelong again. Losing QB as a home game. Get stuffed. I hope Pert does better than this going forward.

I don't get the angst. It is one round. We get to play at home, against a team we can absolutely beat, to kick start the year with a win. It's great for membership, it's great for the team. If all our members turn up, we will make money. Absolutely no issues with this game whatsoever.

Our list feels 'complete' now I can't wait for the next 3-4 years!

Forwards win matches. Defenders win grand finals.

I can’t begin to understand losing a parent and having cancer. Maybe if I went through those things at 22 I would have a very different perspective on life. But I don’t want footballers at our club who are so readily willing to give up success. Hogan clearly is not motivated by premierships. So Freo are a perfect fit.

NO MORE GEELONG GAMES IN GEELONG. Why are we the only Victorian team that is made to play there? Joke! West Coast in Melbourne for a change would be nice. Essendon home game at the G for once.

Love him. Can’t wait to have him in the side next year. Could not be more optimistic for 2019.

Need a vomit button. Freo will still struggle to kick goals. Gained a forward. Lost a mid.

I reckon we might pick up a few delisted players with late picks.

No issue with people being disappointed. We invested a lot in him. Sadly the same can’t be said for Hogan, who was always one foot out the door. You don’t win flags with players who aren’t committed to your cause.

The footy department clearly does. We are not winning flags with Frost.

And if they do? We needed defenders. I want to win a flag next year not in 5 years when a 2019 draftee peaks. This is a very good deal for us. As always you win some you lose some.

I wanted more, but such is life. At the end of the day Hogan had no real desire to play for this club. He had no real desire for success. His sole motivation was being close to his family and friends. There is nothing wrong with that, but I only want players who want to succeed and want to play for our jumper. Hogan did not. Lets get the May thing done and lets move on. At least we never have to have this "will he won't he" distraction again.
