Around The Grounds - Round 19

Round 19 has just kicked off with Geelong vs Bulldogs. Do I care who wins? No. Do I wonder how much rotting food is secreted in Bartel's beard? Yes.

Tom Boyd just kicked a goal, AFL is an unpredictable game.

    I don't think Geelong get enough free kicks at home. They need to introduce a rule where they just start off with the ball rather than waste time with centre bounces.

    Pannell is a bit of a [censored] really, he's married to Hawthorn but doesn't mind taking it from Geelong on the side.

    Wish we had Footscrays intensity, we are not even close to it.

    That last free against Hunter was a joke

    Fark me they can't take a trick. Libba out of the game, bloody Dangerf then gets out the back for a goal and a ballerina effort.

    I hate Geelong. I hate the supporters. I hate the players. I hate the ground. I'm shaky on the town.

    As an MFC supporter watching the bulldogs feels like watching football in fast forward. And I  don't  mean  from a leg speed  point of view. Their intensity around the contest gives their fans so much value. Ours was good last week  but sadly it took a  bake in the media to get a one off effort like that from our lot.

    Embarrassing isn't it.

    The way they play football is amazing, such pride in the jumper, they have their 6 best players out and are still going hell for leather, imagine we had Jones, Vince, Viney etc out of the team.  Love the way they go about it

    A terrible omission. You forgot to mention the coach. I hate him even more than the supporters/players/ground/town!!

    This is why i am disappointed in the 3rd year of Roosy

    the players do not put in enough. 

    Why? Is it the Salary Cap? Players get the same money regardless of which jumper they wear...

    Two edged sword. If poor clubs had lesser salary caps, will all their better players want to leave?

    Thought the effort was the one thing Roos would fix in his tenure. Sadly not. This is why I've started to wonder whether the supporters should shoulder a lot of the blame for the players not putting in. We have offered up so many excuses for the shocking performances over the years and many supporters still do. We have made it acceptable at the MFC to go less than 100%.

    No excuses for the Dogs. All those injuries but all they want to do is compete. A great example for youngsters watching sport to learn about how it should be played.

    I'm actually loving this Dennis + BT commentary team. Add in the Duck and there's some pretty good footy knowledge present tonight.

    What's with the ruck rules? One can stick a knee or boot into an opponents chest to block him but not a hand.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
