Game Day Around The Grounds Rnds 1 - 5

[Gethelred]

I reckon Essendon are trying to run them back and forth across the ground. They might be taking forever to move the ball from one side to the other over and over - and over - but they're forcing the Swans to chase them, to expend energy constantly trying to cut off that outlet kick.

It's an interesting idea. They're good, but a number of those talented Sydney players don't have the fitness to do it for 4 quarters.

It's early in the season, most teams aren't as good and most aren't as bad as first perceived.

Because the loss of Shiel has forced them to try something to compensate. It's made others more aware that they have to be the one to go, and it's forced the coaches to try something, and that something has helped.

It took Sam Mitchell and Matt Priddis retiring before Gaff et al realized that no-one was going to get the contested ball for them, and they realized it so well they won a flag.

Better for us if essendon win imo.

Keep sydney closer to us. Confidant we will finish higher than essendon even if they win.

I've said for a year or so that, if Cripps were to take some time away, it'd force a rejigging of our midfield setup.

However, you need coaches willing and capable of being creative. Teague I can see doing it, but not Barker.

this seems to be the one constant...playing youth works

If Francis puts himself between Blakey and the ball, and deliberately tries to slow down the play, then Blakey should be allowed to knock him over, go behind the mark and play on.

You're letting Francis get away with something that should be worth 50m.

Swans shooting themselves in the foot. Papley gone up another level with the few moments of brilliance

Mills created that. Made the contest when outnumbered, never gave up and gave the handpass with less than a second of possession.

Bombers getting absolutely rorted by the umps.

One of the most one sided displays of umpiring I have seen.

 

[jooce8891]

[Gethelred]

How does the goal umpire miss that?
