Around The Grounds - ROUND 21

[John Demonic 4,914]

It's the 'bomb it long and play like its the dying seconds' tactic expanded to a quarter from Richmond.

This is more about Richmond's inability than it is Geelong.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I'm so glad I don't barrack for Richmond.

[sydneydee 659]

Gee I really dislike Geelong. 

[Guest]

Never change, Richmond.

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Six goals up at 3/4 time and NO SCORE in the last.

Poor stuff, Tiges.

We don't do that. Not any more.

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Well, Tiges.

You'd better use that as a spur next week against the Saints or I'll lose respect for you.

[Whispering_Jack 28,094]

Tiger fans - there's a special on microwaves tomorrow at the Good Guys.

Harvey Norman Tigers

Geoff is waiting for your money now....

[Gorgoroth 12,365]

I enjoyed watching another club implode in the last quater and lose a game you just shouldn't have. The fact Reiwoldt dropped the mark in the last two seconds is even better.

[Cards13 9,117]

Faaarrrrrrkkk Tigs?! How could you lose from there?! Keeps top 4 and round 23 interesting.

[DSP 1,488]

Talk about choking...

 

Gool ol Tigers.

Having watched that game, we should have a truly good chance of taking Geelong down again.

Their coach took 3/4 of the game to realise kicking long to a forward line of Hawkins and not much else wasn't working.

Bartel is picking up superannuation and simply shouldn't be on the field.

If it weren't for Dangerfield and Selwood, they would be bottom half of the ladder.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Would expect every MFC coach (especially Jennings) was watching and analysing that match on the off chance we beat Carlton next week and North lose to Sydney. Geelong aren't the invincible superheroes they think they are -- if Richmond can make them vulnerable, so can we.

But next week remains our hurdle. Too often we've lost the easy ones because we're focused on other things -- can't make that mistake this week. We have to treat every week as an elimination final now.

If we on Demonland were good sports we'd feel sorry for the Tigers.

If those at Tigerland were realistic folk then they would look at themselves and feel sorry for the sport!

Uncle Bitters, either drink less Shiraz or you aren't drinking anywhere near enough

Frighteningly BBO, I did. Although how much of it was anger at Geelong for winning I don't know. Maybe if a team becomes perennial losers we stop hating them? I know I don't hate Carlton as much as I did.

Exactly my thoughts as I watched the game.

What?!?!?

Get a hold of yourself man.

Next thing you'll be feeling sorry for certain other Vic clubs currently down the wrong end of the ladder.

Just imagine the insufferable entitlement that will exude from them if they make their way back up the ladder. The attitude that they are in their rightful place and deserve to be looking down on the rest of us.

Feel better now?

How do you feel about Essendon getting pick 1, just out of interest?

Absolute disgrace. They still haven't fessed up or produced any paperwork
