Game Day Around The Grounds - Rnds 0 - 5

[Gethelred]

This is a new season, and we're going to kick things off with a little bit of a change.

This thread is for discussion of the games we aren't playing in. It is not a thread to constantly refer to how well/badly we are going in our own games, nor is it a place to ruin the enjoyment of others with constant jabs or referrals to Carlton's woes.

Any posts that do so continuously will get deleted, and anyone who continues to push the envelope afterwards will find themselves threadbanned.

Thanks all!

I ditched Foxtel years ago & have Kayo (amongst other streaming services)

Thinking of downgrading to Kayo Standard $25 a month but no 4K just HD.

Are there ads in Standard?

Like Meek, he’s put the fear of god into Grundy.

Like Day too.

You are one of their few customers who doesn't get the buffering.

Enjoying stable 4k pictures. Superb really.
Too bad about that stupid distracting scorekeeper panel.
Also
Hawks winning does not please me.

Lift Swannies!!

Nope no buffering

More words than possessions for the Wizard.

Stay tuned

It's interesting.

Sydney are doing what we do with their stoppages, setting up very similarly with Heeney taking Cripps role of taps receiver. Only problem is, our method doesn't work unless you win the taps, and they're getting beaten pretty solidly.

Hawthorn are more organised in the first term. When they need a tall, there's always one available when and where they need them; when Sydney need a small, there's a medium available who fumbles a crumb or the tall is just outnumbered.

Don't expect it to last, though. Sydney were kittens in first terms last year and dragons by the third term. We'll see.

Meek continuing his form from back end of last season, been as valuable as other acquisitions for Dawks

Teams will put time into him physically and he will struggle. Only contact he enjoys is a duck.

Nice chest game, both sides want tge corridor and slingshot footy

But centre stoppages the difference

Blakey sets up another turnover.

Ed: nearly another, he’s batting 99.94

Must be related to Naicos, another seagull!

Great chase on Blakey

Don’t care that he turned it over

I bloody hate that he never made it back to the contest after the turnover though!

That sh*t irks me!

Holding the ball, should have been a Shitney free

Unsociable footy

Should get done for diving, holding his nose like that.

Won't, but should.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This is about as bruise free as it gets.

More dumb footy from Sicily

Another not 15

Then a bomb to 40 metres out

That’s your captain Dorks

Champagne footy, Hawthorn

Great job from Amon
