Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 16 - 20

[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!

Suns genuinely should've been 5 goals up by now, got the makings of a classic biting in the ass.

Said last week they way to bother Collingwood is all out attack, go fast, go direct and be attacking. Pies are lucky Suns are 2.7 and not 7.2.

 

[gbatman]

Collingwood have been the best side in the game since 2022, because they started bulding correctly for the new rules and have been ahead of the pack.

Other teams are catching up, when they do they will still be good but not that special.

Leg speed, run and carry, direct play, run down speed around the ball. We have gone against these traits because we are dumb but look at the Suns at the moment. This is unreal.

 

[SolGoodman]

He did land a great gig, but Dimma can absolutely coach.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pies are right under the pump atm.

Loving it.

Finally a team being physical against this mob and they can’t handle it.

suns on fire. forget the full moon

 

[gbatman]

Gee you take Collingwood at their own game, pace, high speed movement, run and carry and elite run down ability. Pies look hopeless for the first time in years.

Suns look line a genuine modern football side. It's very good to watch.

Just look at who is coaching them, that's all the difference. They are coming on.

 

[gbatman]

I'd like to see the umpires drop the "knocked out in the tackle" intrepretation. A lot of players just let the ball go when tackled or contacted.

Take not of rugby union where players can't drop the ball. They rarely drop it or have it "knocked out".

would love to see a rugby union interpretation brough into our game in regards to "knocked out".

No daicos no filth

Edit: I see he’s back in

 

[myblueroan]

Oooh.
This is rather good.

Looks the same as the year they won recently. Load up on loads about this time of year then rest a bit just before playoffs and hit the post season really ready

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Sunnyboys are smashing the Pies.

Very noice.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Coaching matters.

Dimma has got them finally rolling.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Cox getting knocked senseless would be the icing.

 

[Accidental genius]

Hardwick has the sunny boys playing a fantastic brand

 

[passmark]

Don’t get excited.

Two scenarios.

1) ****en Pies storm home.
2) they’re in the middle of a mini pre-season to get ready for September.

The result is meaningless

 

[swuzzlebubble]

post season

You could not question that. This is modern footy.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That Daicos kick went 9 metres.

Booo.

Ed: Suffer in ya’ jocks

 

[Bale Dup]

Cox getting knocked senseless would be the icing.

By N Daicos, who is also knocked senseless. Too much?

 

[JJBagger]

Classic suns. Watch the crows maul them by 10 goals next week

 

[Bale Dup]

You could not question that. This is modern footy.

It certainly is and pin point kicking is a massive part of it. Kicking accuracy and speed of kick is king imo. All the top teams have awesome kicks

 

[Horizon]

Loving this

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What a wonderful half of footy that was.
