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.

    Doggies getting very good run with the umps, Jong's one was not there at all. Leads to a goal.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
