Around The Grounds - ROUND 23

[The heart beats true 18,147]

Just went the Saints and Brisbane game looked like being the worst TV spectacle of the year they open the roof at Etihad ensuring its impossible to watch.

 

[Redleg 41,619]

I want Saints to smash Lions to stop Bombers getting first pick and PSD, especially as Woosha just said he wants O'Meara. Getting him for free would be sickening.

Membrey marks 15 out, with Saints firing and Nick gives a way a free, reversal and Lions go to other end and goal.

Would have ended up quarter 5 goals up and well on way.

Come on Saints, smash them.

Saint Nick with 11 marks in the second quarter!  What a player.

[The heart beats true 18,147]

Blah, blah, blah St Kilda's improvement.

Their best player is still Riewoldt by a mile. Take him out and they'll lose 3-4 more games a year minimum.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Have a field day Nick, please! Kick ten goals!

Frankly if Leppa wants anything positive to eventuate for Queensland football, he should lose this match enough to secure the wooden spoon. It will be a total injustice if Essendon get pick 1.

Haven't read the whole thread so may have been mentioned earlier. 

Fitzy gets a game for the Hawks today.

Lions making it hard for themselves.

Could argue a winning culture is more important but that would require players to turn up for 22 weeks a year.

Would've been a shoe-in right now if not for the 1.2 to 4.7 final quarter yesterday. Woosha must have realised the implications of a win and too big of a percentage booster.

No mention of the 6.2 to 1.4 third term though?

Yeah, the quarter they made sure to address in the final quarter when they still had time.

[45HG 1,559]

Pretty sure if they wanted to guarantee the spoon they wouldn't have absolutely smashed them for a quarter when already 19 up.

[faultydet 7,623]

saints putting the foot down.

What's the target from here?

 

[45HG 1,559]

Saints need three goals to zip from here. From there basically every Brissie goal needs two from the saints. Very much alive.

Brisbane look tired

[45HG 1,559]

2 goals to zip from here would do it.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Saints need to get to 139 and hold BL scoreless

Don't puck this up for us Brisbane.........

[John Demonic 5,859]

Fitzy lining up for his second shot on goal in 5 minutes. First one a shanked behind. 2nd one a shanked goal :D

Don't see it happening really, no way Brisbane will stay scoreless, and the Saints won't be able to kick 2 for every Brisbane goal in a single quarter.

[John Demonic 5,859]

No need to feed Essendon the attention. Gold Coast will get a trade done with someone other than Essendon. Some of their fans are disgusting though " we can get Jaeger for free" when no other clubs went the grievance tribunal route.

Do I see Rockliff and Zorko limping.

Seems silly to keep them out there.

Brisbane are now last.

Do you reckon he can top the "tunnel ball"?

Personally I think Jaeger told them he wants a trade to a certain top 4 club and that's why Gold Coast cracked it about him not being allowed to nominate his destination, because they'll probably only be able to secure two late first round picks.

They certainly wouldn't be behaving this way if he said he wants to go to Essendon, or was ever entertaining the notion.
