Around The Grounds - Round 13

Recommended Posts

I've tipped Hawthorn, so that's the only reason I'll go for them. Hate both these teams though. And score that my hotel room has FOX FOOTY, as there's no coverage on Channel 7 up in Sydney. Hopeless.

Hawthorn has pulled this game well and truly out of their ring and if I hated Lewis before, I loathe that sniper now

Hawks get away with so many delaying tactics when they should have 50's paid against them.

...plus the times they crib the mark a few metres and then Wood takes a mark in the pocket and Hill goes up and stands right on him, the umpire calls him back...4 umpires what the hell are they doing???

How many throws tonight going unnoticed??? 4 umpires, I don't know...

I find it amusing Daw isn't afforded the truck load of excuses that our players have been over the years. 

He's played what, 25 games??

Keep digging, mate.  You were wrong even before his game tonight.  He's a nothing player.

Sicily has well and truely moved into the fwit, diver team.

It stinks how players now instinctively lift their arms to force their opponent to tackle them high.  I hope that they stamp that out of the game sooner rather than later.

So?  Bringing up Grimes and Dawes is totally irrelevant here.  We're talking Daw and, like my call there with Grimes, you're wrong.

Bringing up Dawes and Grimes isn't irrelevant at all, many on here think they offer little to nothing just like some think the same of Daw. Only difference is Dawes and Grimes have had plenty of chances.

Chances have nothing to do with it.  The bloke is a spud, chances or not.

Do the umpires read the media and issues with ducking? That is two Sicily rubbish frees for ducking and two goals, can not believe it after all we have seen in recent weeks. You just know North can't win this one, they lost it in the first quarter.

You can't deny he hasn't shown some good signs over the 20-25 games he's played, consistency is obviously a problem for him right now. Tonight he's done close to stuff all but so has Dal Santo.

I reckon he's building.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
