Game Day Around The Grounds - Rnds 0 - 5

[Aphrodite]

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!

Nick Watson is every bit the player that Papley is.

I reckon you could make the argument he’s better now than Papley has ever been in his career

 

[Sam The Doc]

How good is this old man !!

 

[SurreyBlue]

How do some teams get away with so much, whereas others can’t breathe the wrong way without being penalised?
I would love to know their secret.

Say what you like about Ginni but he’s a very good player.

 

[Chemical]

What has Ed done wrong? I’ve missed something perhaps?

Fell out with the club on how Charlie was treated. Apparently cracked the shits.

I don't agree with that. There was a 10 week patch in 2023 during which Papley was one of the best players in the comp.

Hawks under Clarko used to train with the actual umpires, built relationships with them on a personal level. I wonder if they - Hawthorn - maintain this under Mitchell.

Some people walk amongst us blindly. Just like the saying ‘Positive reinforcement’ …….

Are WC trying to trick Adelaide fans into supporting them by wearing an Adelaide jumper?

Some of these strips this weekend have been a significant divergence from their team colours.

Didn’t hurt that Mark Evan’s would “pop in” to discuss interpretations of Hawks games because Clarko had brought it up.

Duursma is going to be an absolute weapon

Giants torching the Tiggies.

GWS more than a dozen years of wasted talent

Giants torching the Tiggies.

Like a training drill

 

[Gethelred]

That's shit hot, ump.

Lefau is having the best quarter of his life.

It is our Civic duty to offer our unwavering support to the Swampies this evening.

Beat the living snot out them Port.

Die in hell St Kilda.

Pot, kettle.

 

[norway blue]

Port and Saints to bash each other. That’s my wish.

 

[ESKIE]

Georgiadis to kick 12

 

[norway blue]

Interpol. Nice.

 

[RPCB]

TDK has had a start benefitting his contract.

 

[Accidental genius]

Saints putrid so far
