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!

There’s some average players out there coasting along for the Dee’s, but by crikey Gawn ain’t one of them.

He is in everything.

Yeah he's a great player. One minute he's down back next minute. He's taking a shot on goal. He's def up an about at the mo

 

[SurreyBlue]

Gawn must be on $2+ million.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I don't agree.

They're giving me St Kilda circa 2012-14 vibes; the left overs from the previous tilt are juuuuust good enough that you think the next generation are better than they are without them. They're still kind of in 'we could have another crack within a year or two' mode. Look at their mids - Hopper, Taranto, Macintosh, Nank - and their KPP. The structure is still very old; there are a number of players in there that will be huge outs.

But then, this also feeds into how I felt about their success, namely that they had no idea how they got there and don't really know how to do it again.

They have 8 senior players Lynch McIntosh Nankervis Hopper Taranto Vlaustin Broad Short playing tonight…

Highly doubt they would consider themselves any chance of having another crack in a few years, they’re in a significant rebuild…

From most of the games they’ve played this year, imo there is some encouraging indicators in identifying the gamestyle/system to which they are trying to implement…

It’s going to be a long process, they look to have the right coach going forward…

Look, I've been wrong before, but I just don't see it.

Game style aside, they will probably go on to the draft with two of the top 5 picks and that’s before they trade out any older players or future picks.

They are giving themselves a huge chance to recreate the list faster than anyone else.

 

[Baggers]

Looks like the tiger "army" has gone AWOL in the last 30 minutes

Fair enough, i might be wrong myself just how I’m seeing it small sample size..

 

[Gethelred]

We always knew you were dirty, Tom, but now we know you're a liar too.

 

[Gethelred]

That's a pretty meaningless goal.

The score review in the last quarter which overruled the goal kicked by Pickett was terrible.

The voice over said you could clearly see the ball deviated, pigs bum you could.

 

[tarczonandjane]

My eyes tell me there are a heap of score reviews which are pure guesswork. But it will stay in place because sports gambling is so prevalent there needs to be a way of overruling an umpire who is on the take.

Anyway… Collingwood v Essendon. The annual game where I hope for a nil all draw.

… if only there was a way they could both earn zero points.

Pies win,one of the Daicos wins the medal.

Poke my eyes out if thats the case

Filth will destroy the injectors

Hopefully the injectors put up a bit of fight

Last time * “put up a good fight”, they injected themselves and finished *9th.

 

[JJBagger]

Generally been a good fixture in recent times. Would like nothing more than a good game. Whichever team wins doesn’t bother me

 

[passmark]

I won’t be happy unless they belt the shit out of each other. Just wish we could give them knives and clubs.

 

[Accidental genius]

Yeah sheedy a master mind creating this fixture.

Players should feel privileged playing in Anzac Day clashes

Unfortunately, played by the two biggest scumbag clubs in the competition.

As much as I like calling them the filth I’m not sure they’ve done anything extra ordinarily bad like the injectors…who I consider definite scum bag of a club

But their Red and black colours just like the poppy flower ties in nicely with the Anzacs

Yep, * are just overwhelmingly crappy.

But their Red and black colours just like the poppy flower ties in nicely with the Anzacs

Yeah, true.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Likely to be a smashing.

 

[RPCB]

Say what you will about Nick Daicos lack of courage on the football field, but he’s a very good player. Can only hope that Cody Walker is our FS version of Naicos.
