Game Day Around The Grounds Rnds 6 - 10

[Gethelred]

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!

This is Hawthorn doing their best St Kilda circa 2012-14, when Riewoldt was still around and they went to him every single time.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Yep. He was out cold and wobbly coming off. No way he doesn’t go into concussion protocol

Sure was wobbly, we are better of if he plays….

 

[Wickzki]

Geelong look very gettable.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Geelong look very gettable.

Especially of a 6 day break vs 8-9 days

No Miers next week is huge. Nobody in the comp sets up goals like him

 

[Accidental genius]

Dempsey…another no fuss no gimmicks type player.

Yeah he was groggy even when walking off

Offender would get at least 2-3 weeks I reckon…reckless swinging arm

 

[Sam The Doc]

Nice goal

 

[norway blue]

what a beautiful snap. M

Chol has been a good pick for hawks

Not sure what he cost but he’s got some good attributes.

 

[Wickzki]

Hawks have done an incredible job of minimizing the trash parts of Chol's game.

Brilliant footballer at his best but his worst was often game changingly bad.

Good on him.

 

[Wickzki]

Not sure what he cost but he’s got some good attributes.

To Hawks: Chol and 62 (2023)

To Suns: 2024 second-round selection (which was originally Brisbane's so the last pick of the round).

Bargain with the work they've put into him to clean his game up.

Dempsey…another no fuss no gimmicks type player.

Plays wing but dangerously slides forward to take a mark or kick a goal or 2

Is it too much to ask for some big hits in the last quarter. Don't know what's better - free flowing where they use a lot of energy, or a tight game with lots of ball ups and physical stuff. I'm not really fussed either way

A bit of both. Lots of running but when its in the clinches for it to be brutal.

Turn it into a style similar to how Collingwood play.

Yeah…Always does some important things bobbing up at critical times

 

[Sam The Doc]

Atkins a week too maybe?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I hope Geelong end up completely bloody exhausted after this.

Win, lose or draw.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Cmon Dorks. Feel free to inflict a non life threatening injury or two this quarter

Holmes and Cameron will do, maybe Blicavs too. Stewart is likely to have an “unnamed illness” anyway!

 

[norway blue]

A brutal, body punishing last quarter please

 

[Gethelred]

James, you were playing behind and were looking to hold him. Complaining to the umps you were being held makes you look like a dickhead.

 

[Sam The Doc]

They really should rest danger next week

 

[Gethelred]

I'm so upset for Hawthorn that they're getting the hard end of the umpiring.

So upset.

 

[Accidental genius]

Cats players just better and cleaner

Hawks making lots of errors

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Geez that was close to head high by Stewart on Watson…..
Just our luck he missed him by that much!!
