Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 6 - 10

[Gethelred]

Beams 28 possessions, 6 marks, 2 tackles. Give me some of that ass.

Dare I say it, a Gibbs in Adelaide-esque performance...

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

so the * hird - they booing the choice of medalist, the umps or some other bizarre aspect of their crapulant lives?

Fixed it for you.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Dare I say it, a Gibbs in Adelaide-esque performance...

First half was excellent. Second half quieter. Beams is a very good footballer.

 

[thylacine60]

Fixed it for you.

I did not see that coming..........

 

[Burgers45]

We will beat both these teams.

I love your optimism.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Beams 28 possessions, 6 marks, 2 tackles. Give me some of that ass.

No impact, just floated around.

And there are kids here...

 

[HBF]

What a cracking game of footy that was.

 

[Bordertoon]

one of the nicest people you will meet outside of football.

I met him very briefly at a book launch at the MCG years ago, which was stacked with big names and people who all seemed to know each other. I was left standing by myself feeling awkward, and probably looking it too. I think Bucks noticed, and when I went up to get myself a coffee to make it look like I was busy, he made the effort to come up to me and initiate a conversation - a nice touch, from a very decent person, with some solid emotional intelligence going on imo.

 

[thylacine60]

all done - need another hit of all our goals - page 40 in our autopsy thread - baggers........

 

[Gethelred]

First half was excellent. Second half quieter. Beams is a very lazy footballer.

Fixed that for you.

Everything that has ever been thrown at Gibbs Beams is also guilty of, but unlike Beams Gibbs at his best tackles. Beams does just enough to fulfill the nonsensical tackle definition the AFL uses, and very rarely at that. He's also emblematic of why/how they almost lost today; huge, massive front runner who enjoys a) smashing the ball 60 metres down the field to make it someone else's problem, b) taking pings at goal without nailing the shots or lowering the eyes, and c) genuinely giving up on chasing the opposition player with the ball. De Goey was guilty of this a bit, too.

There's no killer instinct in the pies, and their gameplan is reliant on either the team's runners (when they're allowed to run onto the field) or their leaders remembering to tell the players to slow it the **** down and stop handballing to someone in a worse position or just for the sake of it. They just got outpressured by Essendon, FFS. There's no excuses for that.

 

[Blue and Blue]

But ..but....did anyone score a hundred?
Its the all new benchmark 101

 

[Bordertoon]

I love your optimism.

Tbf, I noticed that Plow was prudent enough not to put a year on it

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

I did not see that coming..........

Started with a capital i, I didn't see that coming.......

 

[Bordertoon]

Yep, they’re both sub-100 point losers imo ... well, they would be in the eyes of the media if they were us.

 

[jooce8891]

all i can say is after that game my hatred for * has gone up 10 fold, and my respect for buckley has also increased...

 

[teagueyubeauty]

How bad were the umps, sickening

 

[Aphrodite]

Disgraceful * fans booing Pendles.

 

[thylacine60]

How bad were the umps, sickening

how so?

 

[thylacine60]

all i can say is after that game my hatred for * has gone up 10 fold, and my respect for buckley has also increased...

that your * loathing has room for a tenfold increase is a disgrace in itself............cardable.........

 

[jooce8891]

eh, im much younger don't really care for the rivalries and only got into football 2 years ago, but being a carlton supporter i should've inherited the hatred of the pies, * and so on aye

 

[thylacine60]

aye

 

[Aphrodite]

Respect Bucks

 

[HBF]

that your * loathing has room for a tenfold increase is a disgrace in itself............cardable.........

As you know my very good friend, my loathing for that shit stain of a footy club is at max capacity.

 

[thylacine60]

any increase would doubtless blow your woofer valve in a cataclysmic mushroom of hatred and revulsion - it would block out the sun and scare cows inland

 

[Burgers45]

Although Shiel got a lot of touches, and provided plenty of run and carry, some of the * supporters on their forum blamed him for their loss due to his pathetic disposal under pressure, especially in the last quarter.
