Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 16 - 20

[I bleed Blue]

Result no good for us.

But I could watch essendon lose after the siren every day.

**** that club. Drug cheating w***ers.

 

[Number_9]

Pies been extremely lucky

 

[Gokz]

Feel we’ll dismantle collingwood in round 23.

Nah mate, them and Cats are premiership favourites easy now. Cant be beaten. Sorry, its crazy luck. Its premiership winning luck

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Wow. Cannot believe they escaped again. Elliot had no right marking that. Wow. Such poor defence there.

 

[The old campaigner]

Great interview with Elliot!

 

[SurreyBlue]

The filth just cant lose! Theyre last quarter specialists. Hate them!They

They have the flippen luck of the world behind them right now. It's frustrating watching them pull these games out of their backside.

 

[Accidental genius]

Jones should have chipped it sideways. Gave the ball back and it took 10 seconds to get it down the other end

i was thinking same thing...was always going to be risky if he missed...

 

[klompy]

Pies been extremely lucky

Perhaps. But they have great character. They are a big threat because they never give in. I'd hate a Collingwood premiership almost as much as I'd like a Carlton Premiership

 

[What else we can do]

Feel we’ll dismantle collingwood in round 23.

F***en can't wait it's War.

 

[NavySteel]

Nah mate, them and Cats are premiership favourites easy now. Cant be beaten. Sorry, its crazy luck. Its premiership winning luck

They played about 40mins of decent football.

Feel they’ll get exposed. Kind of like * last season. Made finals then **** the bed.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Jones just needed to use his 30 and find a lateral pass to someone else to have a shot and use the 30 - game over. Looked to be someone on.

Or kick the goal.

 

[berisha]

Collingwood are a win from top spot. Just absolutely wild.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Luck runs out eventually

 

[Kruezing]

Pies been extremely lucky

9 in a row they’re in fourth spot that’s not luck …

 

[Robco]

Wtf was Essendon's defence at the end there. Deadset 10 seconds from one end to the other

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

They played about 40mins of decent football.

Feel they’ll get exposed. Kind of like * last season. Made finals then **** the bed.

Collingwood's game plan will stand up in finals. It's not based on talent, it's about pressure. Very simple game that they play.

If anything our game plan relies much more heavily on individual brilliance, and is less likely to stand up in September as the clamps go on.

 

[onesilop]

Can’t believe a single result can make me hate both * and the filth more.

Their luck will run out at some point and then next year they will be in a worse position with the rebuild. I’m hoping they get stuck in the middle of the ladder for a good 6 years like north a few years ago.

 

[Accidental genius]

was almost a brave win...lol

 

[carltonchelsea]

Jones just needed to use his 30 and find a lateral pass to someone else to have a shot and use the 30 - game over. Looked to be someone on.

Or kick the goal.

Yep, find a short lead and take another 30 seconds off the clock.

 

[Gokz]

They played about 40mins of decent football.

Feel they’ll get exposed. Kind of like * last season. Made finals then **** the bed.

Mate been saying that for 4-5 weeks now. They keep building and wins like these only spur them on. They have enough experience to win every game and it shows. You do not want to play Collingwood in the finals.

 

[Juddrockz]

Feel we’ll dismantle collingwood in round 23.

We wont if we fall into their trap and have to play catch up in the last. They've proven the past 9 wins in a row what they bring in the last quarter.
Blues will need to stick with them,pace themselves and blow them up in the last quarter,not get too far behind and spend all their tickets catching up ala Bombers today.

 

[klompy]

9 in a row they’re in fourth spot that’s not luck …

Yep. Not luck. They are the real deal. Although momentum is fickle. They just need to lose one....and I was hoping this would be it. Instead they build even more momentum

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

9 in a row they’re in fourth spot that’s not luck …

Will get belted during finals if they put this up.

Their form is trending down at the wrong time, but a wins a win as they say.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

9 in a row they’re in fourth spot that’s not luck …

Agree that you make your own luck in this game, but in this game/context Jones missed an absolute sitter to ice the game.

Still we can't worry about the Filth until the final , let's just focus on the Crows next week.

Been a pretty good round of footy overall though, some great matches and we won, and Richmond bow out of finals contention

 

[Zlatan]

9 in a row they’re in fourth spot that’s not luck …

Yep. We can hate as much as we want, say it’s all luck blah blah, but at the end of the day the ladder doesn’t lie
