Around The Grounds - Round 14

[RalphiusMaximus 6,102]

The one edge we have over the Crows is that a lot of their play relies on contested ball-winning and we seem to have been shading them in that area the last few times.  If Big Max and his helpers are having a good day we'll give them some trouble, although I suspect our inability to hit up forwards will mean less return on our effort than we need to win it. 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

How many times are the Pies going to drop the ball before they get pinged?

 

BS, amateur performance by these clowns.

 

wow, eventually a holding the ball.

 

C'mon Freo you useless fockers.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Watching this [censored] makes me appreciate that we've been quite spoilt with quality football this year. 

[rjay 25,301]

Shocking game all round...Collingwood poor, Freo nearly as good as us at our worst under Neeld.

The umpiring fit for the standard.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

"Sinclair's got a bit of time to measure Cox"

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

"It's a lovely backside...."

 

Someone tell me why Dennis is retiring and not Bwooce.

[Whispering_Jack 31,129]

Tonight shows how poorly Freo plays when in Melbourne in the cold of winter.

Which makes me feel great knowing we're playing them in Darwin in a home game in a few week's time.

[monoccular 17,642]

Pretty pathetic crowd for a "power club" with a winnable game on a Friday night time slot.

Yet we don't get any Friday night games because we don't draw crowds!!??

We would have done far better tonight IMO.

Just typical of the AFL's playing favorites - keep the rich rich and the poor dependent. 

PS Fremantle are pathetic tankers. 

PPS Who is that 38 Collingwood who can't tackle correctly?

Based on tonight's performance, we should have little trouble beating Freo independent of where the game is played.

Huh??? so is Darwin going to be cold for Freo to play poorly again so we win or,

your thinking its warm and they might put on a better show?

[Je Roos Salem 661]

15 day break V 6 day break when we take them on in R16 at the contractual sweathole

Don't the NT!

[McQueen 17,867]

Gee whiz. I've been sucked in to Freo's run of wins compared to the Pies losses. There's still time for Freo but heck they're ordinary.

Not as ordinary as the crowd though. I reckon MFC vs GWS has drawn more..

[bing181 9,411]

Pies/Freo ... I'd forgotten what "poor" really meant. Wow.

[dazzledavey36 55,853]

Thank god we didn't pick up Jack Hannath..

Giant spud

[doc roet 1,302]

Howe looks good in an ordinary team

He looked the goods at the time given our list was so shyte at the time. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,129]

If the Dockers kick 5 goals they'll win by a point. Go you good thing! ?

At what time? None of us had actually seen him play. The times i have seen him play for Freo he is just nothing but a dinosaur.

[rjay 25,301]

Aish really looking like Jimmy Toumpas mark II...can get a bit of ball out wide but gets knocked of it too easily.

But another marketing opportunity for a big club in a prime time slot.  

Land I bet they won't get many fewer next year.

[P-man 13,366]

20,320. On a Friday night. Smallest Collingwood crowd since wartime.

I can actually feel my heart smiling.

Jesse White. Long sleeve and short sleeve jumper on coupled with a man-bun.

Jeremy Howe.

Playing in the forward line in front of big crowds...
