Around The Grounds - Round 14

Featured Replies

Our game against Freo in 2 weeks is a Paul Roos statement game.

Time and time again we travel up to the NT and put in disgraceful performances. And time and time again we can't back up after 6 day breaks.

If we can't beat a 3 and 10 side on neutral soil, then serious questions need to asked about our progress.

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?

EFC have had I think 3 friday night games and 1 Sat night game.

The average winning margin for Friday night games this year must be close to 50pts. Great viewing.

The argument about must perform to get the slots is nonsense and has always been nonsense. Amazing that some her believe otherwise.

We can't lose to this rabble. Surely not. 

I might put the tv remote in bubble wrap just in case.

Agree. Players shouldn't cop stick for wearing long sleeves in 6 degrees.

Was at the game and it was arctic like. Lucky it wasn't windy.

Jeremy Howe.

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

...and from Treloar when traded: “Playing in front of 90,000 at the MCG week in, week out was something I couldn’t pass up on”.

Like Jeremy, Treloar was obviously sold a lemon by the Pies, in more ways than one...

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

 

Talking about being sold a lemon, why are we forced to endure the styling's of Hamish McLachlin? Regrettably, watched that stilted pre-game show last night. All the sincerity of a Lada salesman and I cannot help but think he's landed on his feet through association.

And please don't tell me he's the replacement for Cometti when he retires. I suspect he is.

When we play the Saints. I'd like to see us physically target Riewoldt and Montagna.  Really bloody hurt them. I still think they are critical to their team and I think we should target them.


Amazing what happens when teams come to play, obviously doesn't guarantee victory but it gives you a chance. Saints pressure has been good so far, like the Bulldogs they move it forward quickly at all costs, at times with no defined target but this puts the opposition defense under massive pressure.

The way the Saints demolished us at Etihad, and watching them demolish Geelong there tonight... We are no chance against them. Pisses me off they've had it over us for so long!

They'll be miles too quick for us. Cats are flustered.

Play 1 on 1. They are soft and play so so so loose.  Hit them hard at every contest.


Geezzzzz.   Easy set shot misses will cost Saints dearly. 

Scott is such a bloody whinger......like his brother.  

I hate both clubs, but gee that was a great finish.  Thought the Saints were done when Membrey missed but they stuck at it, full credit to them.


Saints have snagged some great wins the past two seasons. Meanwhile, we keep beating Collingwood, Richmond and the two QLD sides, struggle against everyone else and can't even beat teams around us on the ladder.

Adelaide, Freo, Eagles, Saints.

We need to take it up to these four. 

Was hoping St Kilda had it stolen the same way they stole one from us but can't help barrack for the underdog

 

[censored] Geelong

St Kilda have officially overtaken us as a club.

Although it's arguable they were never behind us considering they keep beating us and we've only been 1 spot above them on the ladder the last 2 years.

Great win by the Saints by finally taking a massive scalp.

Pretty much this. Hate both clubs (Geelong because Geelong and St Kilda because we are incapable of winning against this shitstain of a club) but credit to the Saints for holding on. They are going to rip us a new one in a few weeks if they play like they did tonight.

Interestingly, only 5 bottom 10 teams have defeated a top 8 team all season, including Carlton, Collingwood and St Kilda defeating Geelong.

Are the Cats getting ahead of themselves? Many long suspected that was the case last year in Enright's 300th.

People keep saying they'll drop off once their older brigade drop off and retire. But you can't understate the importance of having them around. They were always ahead of us in development because they had blokes who had played finals and Grand Finals, who were guiding their young brigade. This team would never lose to Essendon, or lose to a team for 10 straight years, no matter how bad they are.

They'll once again rip us a new one at Etihad.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
