Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 16 - 20

[Gethelred]

Rankine being a lazy, arrogant lad who thinks he is better than what he actually is right now has not helped the Suns at all.

Do you think this, or do you know this?

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Didnt North beat them as well?

And two 90 plus pointers

Looking today you can see Clarko moving to the suns in 2023 and AFL pushing the coaches salary outside the cap . Because if they don't do something with the administration up there they will be a revolving door again and Clarkson keeps a tight rein over the whole of football operations .. can't just keep throwing draft compensation at them today was very bad ..

Getting real ugly for GCS.

Dew will be feeling the heat.

He's well insulated

Watching him walk out at 1/4 time I was thinking he doesn't exactly send the run for me boys persona ..

Just an observation, based on his on field demeanor in games against the Suns. here has to be attitude as well as performance based reasons why the Suns dropped him.

His first few games were out of the world/insanely good and often I wonder if all the hype and buzz surrounding him after that got this head.

Maybe being arrogant/full of himself was a bit harsh, I certainly don't think he works hard enough on field, and has been like that for most of the season.

Frustrates me seeing a player who has the natural talent and ability to one day being the best player in the game (or close to it) not putting in the hard yakking required for his potential to he fulfilled.

If he actually applied himself and trained and worked as hard as our Sammy Walsh he would be an almost unstoppable weapon in this league. (Granted I have rarely seen such a player come into this league young or otherwise who is such a training and hard working beast like Walsh. Extraordinary and we are blessed to have him.

 

[Beyond Blue]

Mitchell, Wingard, OMeara and Breust all auditioning for new homes today vs Brisbane!

The reason for my asking is that sometimes I think you are remarkably selective with your empathy.

It's not been the easiest first three years to start your AFL career.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Swans getting into a habit of giving up early goals -- hope they
Switch on

 

[Malifice]

Come on Sydney.

 

[RPCB]

Lol, that was the shortest 15 meter kick ever.

Perhaps, but I am unaware of any off field issues or difficulties facing Rankine, just an observation of how he is performing on field.

I feel frustrated watching him because as I say, I think he has the potential to be the best player in the game, and most of his form this season has been disappointing.

If he has faced issues/problems settling up there, of course I should cut him some slack..

I could be wrong but I think the Suns have put in enough resources and people up there to make most of their young players happy.

Anyhow wish nothing but the best for Rankine.

Hope he ain’t an emotional eater.

Professional.

 

[katmanblue]

Umm, Swans, can you lift please?

 

[Jimmyonesix]

This smashing hawthorn are handing Brisbane it would be fitting of Clarko retired effective immediately .. good way to leave they look like hawks of old

 

[Elmer_Judd]

No point getting annoyed with the Swans, we have only ourselves to blame for putting ourselves in a position to rely upon other results.

Anyhow i think they will over run * in the 2nd half.

 

[Mentallo]

Was it the Swans?
They are the absolute best in the comp at getting away with kicks that are not even 10 metres let alone 15 metres.

Nah, it was a kick in the back line for *. It looked like the ball barely traveled 8 meters.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Swans lifting. Go you good things !

 

[AB_Blue]

Great pressure by the swans to force the turn.
