Around the Grounds Round 15

Recommended Posts

Geez collingwood are loving that football. The amount of times they just chip it around. Don't they have confidence in Cloke just to kick it long to him. 

But I do like the father/son rule and it is a nice to see another Silvagni running around. Done some nice things. 

Anyway flicking to wimbledon now.

This is a godawful game of football. Jesus Christ, how did this get fixtured on a Saturday night over Melbourne vs Adelaide?

Compare where the 4 teams were at the end of last year and it's mindboggling that this was considered the premium fixture.

Thanks Channel 7, you knobs! Same bloody teams getting the premium games week in, week out.

It's not really a pure 6 day break though, is it. Players will spend hours in recovery following the match, probably getting home close to midnight Sunday.

And then they have a 4 hour flight on Friday. It's not as cut and dry as a 6 day break IMHO.

Haha it really is as much of a 6 day break as any other 6 day break.

Nothing that i really concern myself with tbh!

So basically what you're saying is that these "Around the Grounds" threads are pointless. Why'd you read it and comment?

BT: Carlton are down by three goals, they're going to have to kick four to win, or at least five.

They commentate as if viewers are completely braindead morons with zero knowledge of the game, not even how many points a goal is worth.

good pickup rtg.......can i blame predictive text or some such?

Blame predictive text DC but, hey, we all have our reasons for going to the footy. Picket goes in the hope that Oscar Mac drops marks.

Actually I reckon he might enjoy watching him take marks RTG....preferrably in a Casey guernsey

Too much celebrating last week??

Moons is always prattling on about young teams not travelling well. Maybe some cred to that

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
