Game Day Around the Grounds Rd 16-20

[The Old Dark Navy's]

This is where the contenders surge and the pretenders drop off.

Collingwood, Richmond, Bulldogs, GWS, North, Port, Adelaide all fighting for positions 5-8. Or will the Eagles drop off with some tougher games coming up and have a top 4 spot open up?

Blues aren't in it, but there is plenty happening over the next 5 weeks to keep AFL fans interested.

 

[HBF]

Huge game on Friday night. If the good North turn up it could turn really ugly.

 

[Jeremias]

Really looking forward to this weekend. Could be a magnificent round of football with so many games which could genuinely go either way.

The only game I can definitively pick a winner in is our game which unfortunately looms as a potential mauling.

The other 8 games of the round I reckon are genuine 50/50 contests, or close to it.

 

[HBF]

I'm not suggesting we could win, but i don't think it will be a thrashing. Freo aren't in any form at the moment. Maybe a 4-6 goal loss.

 

[HBF]

Not too many Freo supporters are confident about the game on Saturday night....

Aaron Black is just not AFL standard, probably is, North have him signed to the end of 2017.

Black was highly rated pre draft, I wonder if he is the product of poor player development or poor attitude at NM (probably both)

That Laverde kid looks the goods for Essendon

Yes, for Essendon*. But that hair cut would never fly at Carlton.

Typical, Black jets goal of the night seconds after I posted that.

I miss those Jarrad Waite grabs...he can get hang time with the best of them...

 

[King of Ruin]

Up until that point had done nothing.

The long stops in the base of the spine were always a favourite of mine.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Starting to think Zakarikis is a downhill skier.
For a team crying out for leadership since Jobe's injury, he has shown zilch.

Was looking like a certain A Grader 18 months ago, nowhere near that level now.

 

[SBYM]

Up until that point had done nothing.

I get that...but he used to do nothing for us...

 

[King of Ruin]

Now he seems to be confused as to which end of the ground he is suppose to be at.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Feeling sick watching Laverde.

 

[ESKIE]

James has spent a fair bit of time rubbing his eyes...

Tipped North by 26 looking good ..

 

[King of Ruin]

Feeling sick watching Laverde.

You mean being subbed out?

 

[lachie charm]

You mean being subbed out?

It's not like Boek has doubled Laverde's stats in every game he has played so far

 

[King of Ruin]

That is preposterous!

 

[SBYM]

Maybe so...

But preposterous backwards spells suoretsoprep...

Now that's preposterous.

Lost his way at North. Has the talent. Needs a fresh start. Think Freo have been lookiing quite closely.

 

[Cringle]

Griffin is s**t at GWS

 

[Stig O'Hara]

GAJ with a contender for GOTY.

The boy can play.

 

[AB_Blue]

GAJ doing his best Chris Judd impersonation with the beard and the carrying of the team on his shoulders thing.........

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nasty, nasty head clash on the GC.

Buntine out with the pixies.

Ed: and unbelievably, GCS lead.......with 9 less scoring shots.
