Game Day Around the Grounds - Rounds 11 - 15

[Big Sim]

Geeze Port were bad. How many lace out kicks to their opposition were there? Or to two on ones against? Amazing that they could drop off so badly this year. And yet, and yet, if they had taken a couple of chances that went begging earlier in the game they may have won despite the themselves. Think that was more due to the extreme patchiness of Sydney's game.

Brave brave gutsy no dickeads Bloods Sydney bla bla blaaaaaa

Never seen a team so ready to put the ball out of bounds deliberately and then appeal for a free every time it goes out off an opposition player. Swans are a bunch of tossers if you ask me.

 

[Big Sim]

Oh yeah, re THAT tackle. Pretty much identical motion to Gibbs. Only difference was that Richards had lost the ball . Oh and unlike Gray, was too concussed to come back on, so they had to keep him off, whereas Port were just being cautious wit Gray. So theoretically, the Schultz offence was worse...

But they again, the Sydney players did not jump in and start swinging, so Richo and Co are sure there is nothing in it..

 

[Aphrodite]

Wonder what Shultz is going to get for that tackle

Ask Dom Cassisi!

 

[King of Ruin]

He doesn't reply.

And it begins.......the flogfest of how amazing Cyril is. Carey, Ling and Bwuce will never need Viagra. Instead of popping a little blue pill, they pop in a replay of a Hawthorn game.

 

[HBF]

Cyril dives and takes a mark and every Hawthorn supporter instantly faps. Amazing!

 

[ESKIE]

Ywish I hadn't tipped collingwood

Drink every time for a Cyril erection pump.

Cloke is a super dud

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I can't stop bloody tearing up.
That was really nice to see.

 

[ESKIE]

[ESKIE]

[HBF]

Kudos to Collingwood and Hawthorn. Amazing scenes.

 

[AceAndy]

It was very moving , well done to both teams tonight.

 

[ESKIE]

You two have magpie beanies on your avatar

 

[Navy Cream]

Yup

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Good to see high profile men showing their emotions, too.

[JamisonRun40]

I'm feeling incredibly sad atm, I have been tearing up all day. All I can thing of is how much I was going to enjoy the football this week now I don't care. I only got to see the dying seconds of the circle of players as I had family over for dinner.

 

[Moe B]

Is it just me or was Clarkson just brushing off that American dude sharing his condolences? Didn't want to speak to him...

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Nathan Buckley finally won me over tonight, not so much as a player/coach, I always had this preconceived notion of NB being a cold, detached, arrogant and somewhat heartless individual (going back to his playing days)

But tonight, in his pre game interview on 7, and especially with that beautiful post game centre circle embrace with Clarko and the players after a pretty galling loss, it struck me that I've misjudged Bucks all these years, and that he is a good, decent person.

That centre circle post game embrace is my football highlight of the year (along with our amazing win over Port and Nic Nat's screamer against Geelong)

Tonight the footy community put aside our differences and honoured a wonderful and admired man and coach, taken in the most soul destroying way possible.

I have been a bit sick of footy these past few years with all the ASADA/Essendon crap,tonight's game was special and so meaningful and I am so proud of the footy community generally.

Very happy to shake hands with Doggies fans tommowow night, win, lose or draw

I noticed that as well.
But, did the american bloke actually ask a question though?

Worked at Henley Beach today, on the drive home I saw about 5 Crows scarves out the back windows of cars
My neighbour has a Crows scarf tied around her letter box and I've tied a Carlton scarf around mine. Should take a pic

 

[ESKIE]

Love to roll the Tiges next week
