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!

For what actually

Clearly for the head knock. He had blood running down his ear. I doubt it's anything else. He will miss Anzac Day.

 

[Gethelred]

Yeah, that's a massive dive from Pendles.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Pies have gone all in this year and it’s paying off so far. I have them above GWS for winning the premiership. It makes me ill.

I see them fading out.

They're in a purple patch of form, but the Swans looked indestructible first half of last year too...

You said morris might be in trouble

Morris pushed him into the contest as he was running back with the flight. They're suspending people for that this year.

 

[Wickzki]

Down by 8 goals from 9 Lions PA play Sweet Caroline for Rayner. Yep, he's feeling fine.

 

[Blues177]

GWS for me

Or maybe the Hoks will be ahead of schedule and do a 2008

You blasphemer

It was Moore no one should give a shit

 

[Gethelred]

If I were Fagan, I'd be fuming at Cameron just there, and it'd be mentioned pretty firmly in review.

More interested in giving it to Maynard than going for what was a live ball.

Is this going to be ANOTHER one of those years where Collingwood are good?

FMD how are they so good so damn often.

Get down the bottom of the ladder FFS.

I was wrong.

Lipinski, Frampton etc. Not about talent there. About everything else. Get the best out of their guys. Pretty rare you see extended form drops from individuals. Just a high level of consistency.

What was he subbed off for?

I think the medical prognosis was “being a knobhead”

Yep.
Dunstall summed it up at their game last week.
Their role players are excellent. They just keep on doing the job.

What is this “role player” term you speak of?

Pies have fairly consistently somehow retained their brand of footy since the Malthouse flag back in 2010 or 2011 whenever it was.

That high pressure cooker style, strangling of the opposition all over the ground. Everyone including their perceived duds know what they are doing all the time.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Brisbane’s forward line was very ineffective tonight. They will struggle with little KP forwards.

I think Cameron is well past it. Add to that he's selfish, tries the low percentage goal every time rather than give it off to someone in a better position.

 

[athensblue]

Just saw the scores
glad im in champagne
need a drink
and kill a magpie on the drive

 

[Accidental genius]

Filth are getting a lot out of their list.

Mcrae does his homework well it seems.

 

[Benaly28]

At full strength atm big chance however just a couple of injuries things can turn.

 

[jj1978]

Filth are now premiership favourites. Let that sink in.

Collingwood are a better side this year than they were in 2023. But that is currently and they have a few strong competitors.

They are just one of the elite clubs. Up there with Sydney, Geelong, Hawthorn and prior to a few years ago West Coast. Teams that are never that far away from it.
