Around The Grounds - Round 19


Ethan Tremblay

Recommended Posts

Knew the Pies would get up. The Eagles are such downhill skiing pretenders... infuriating that we lost last week; relocate that game to the 'G and I bet we would've won without the BS one-sided umpiring and, probably, more accurate kicking.

Howeys revealing himself as a C grader with one A grade asset with every turnover.

He just picked out the only West Coast player with that last kick forward...

If we had played West Coast at the G, in similar conditions, a few weeks ago and been soundly beaten then I would agree.  It would be very disappointing.

But we didn't.  We played them on their home turf, much of it wet, slippery conditions, and if not for wasted opportunities that we should have taken, we win the game.  We didn't win it, but to suggest that our game against the Eagles is somehow similar to the one today and that things will 'get ugly' if the Pies get up is a sad, naive and short sighted response.  It's a response for those posters who love to wallow in negativity and they'll look for ANY way to push that feeling on others.

I say get stuffed.  Any reasonable Melbourne supporter would be disappointed with last week's loss (myself included), but see today's outcome, if the Pies get up, as not even close to a reflection of last week or that it shows we are 'behind' the Pies.  It's nonsense.

You seem content, indeed indulgent, to gloss over the obvious. Whilst we were winning everything ( except the game ) we manage to bag two magnificent points in the last qtr to choke. The Pies kicked it up a gear to 5 goals and WIN.

Your stance is what epiomises MFC excuses. Your welcome to it.

You're boring.  You've missed the point entirely and also missed the fact that I said, twice, that I was disappointed in the game last week.  Doesn't mean I have to take a dumb stance about it.

St Kildas improvement is overrated.

In fact almost half of their wins (4 out of 9) have come against two sides - us (who they beat every year) and Essendon, who they were lucky to beat by just 11 points a few weeks ago.  Now struggling to kick a goal against an out of form North.

I swear, watching other clubs makes me go certifiably insane sometimes. St Kilda, that midget-burning basketcase with the perennial wool over us regardless of coach, players and gamestyle, have kicked 3 goals in an entire match, well into the fourth quarter against a thoroughly average team we nearly defeated.

Why are we so consistently bad against this mob... every... single... time!?

It's infuriating!!!!!!!!

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Butcher - 15 touches, 10 marks, 3 goals at 3 quarter time.  He must be turning the... oh, wait.  It's against Brisbane.

Carry on.

Well, everyone turns into superstars against Brisbane.

They really are [censored], to put it mildly. Quite amusing to hear the AFL has ruled out any draft assistance despite their plight, and the drug cheats getting pick 1.

They are an absolute basket case at the minute.  Regardless of their win last week, they are worse than the drug cheats.

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
