Around the Grounds, Round 12

[Cards13 9,117]

Terrible free kick given in the Seans game, no idea what that til is the umpire paid but looked like he paid a spear tackle, which really wasn't there.

[whatwhat say what 22,314]

giants are terrifying with how slick their ball movement is.

 

have swans won a clearance or kicked a goal since tippett went down?

That fwd line?!

[Ethan Tremblay 30,431]

That free kick to Martin in the 50/50 contest was a terrible decision. Tigers were carrying on like they'd won the GF, very much assisted by some shonky umpiring.

They had a fair ride didn't they. A decent side would have belted Richmond today.

[Bigred 494]

Wow. GWS are good.. ie they have a high proportion of very skilful players, ageing together and about to hit their peak 5 years of form. Scary really for the rest of us mug teams who pick up our young good players one or two a year in the draft or one or two through trades.

I reckon they could do a Brisbane, and be right up there for a few yrs.... 

What will stop them?... The salary cap and off field stuff ups. And the demons of course 

 

[dazzledavey36 53,341]

Kurt Tippet who is in All Australian form is pretty much out for the game due to ankle injury.

Could be in serious doubt for next week against us.

[monoccular 17,352]

Integrity Commission ? need to check Razor's betting account. Two gimmies to Sydney. 

[whatwhat say what 22,314]

i thought tippett was a knee?

 

they're missing him big time around the contest.

He got the call.

"Yes Gil, I understand."

"Free kick Sydney!"

For a bloke who can't kick, Greene looks good today and dobs another one.

Bad luck comes in threes so one to go hopefully

[What 18,810]

If we lose tomorrow we will be 5-7 with Tigers and Saints, that would really suck.  On the flip side a big win will put us to 9th and leapfrogging the Blues and Port and just one game out of the 8.

And we beat this mob!!

[whatwhat say what 22,314]

Grundy down in the rooms.

[SaberFang 7,151]

God I hate all the fawning over this mob, after all the [censored] concessions they've received. It's farcical the way they've been handed that list at the expense of struggling clubs.

And look at all the first round draft picks they have this year thanks to last year's trade period!

Don't you understand. It's a really great thing. Fall in line my friend, fall in line.

Fair bit of jumper holding by the Suns player.

They were holding each other, and the free was for high contact. I just think, especially when scores are pretty much even and it's a 50/50 contest, it should have been play on. Too close of a call, especially in front of goal with a few minutes to go.

I feel really sorry for Rohan, every time he's starting to show what a superb player he is, he gets cut down by injury. Yes, it's good for us if he can't play next week, but I'd rather it was for something less significant.
