Game Day Around The Grounds - Rnds 0 - 5

[Gethelred]

This is a new season, and we're going to kick things off with a little bit of a change.

This thread is for discussion of the games we aren't playing in. It is not a thread to constantly refer to how well/badly we are going in our own games, nor is it a place to ruin the enjoyment of others with constant jabs or referrals to Carlton's woes.

Any posts that do so continuously will get deleted, and anyone who continues to push the envelope afterwards will find themselves threadbanned.

Thanks all!

They've recruited well this mob, old angry man can still coach it seems.

I'd argue they've just had about 3000 top draft picks rather than recruited particularly well. Still got somewhere horrendous players out there.

A couple more off seasons and they'll be a tough task though. Can understand why they want Maynard, he'd be a massive improvement on and off field vs someone like Tucker or McDonald.

 

[Gethelred]

They're an uncharitable lot, Nth supporters. Booing and carrying on, celebrating misses when they're ten goals up.

For all the Clarko bashers like Barrett-- he got them playing a nice strong brand of footy-- letting McKay go was a blessing

 

[Mondyboy]

FOS is a decent player. Can see what people saw in him. His kicking is decent as well.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Not sure which way the Freo Swannies game is heading.

It’s close.

 

[myblueroan]

Enjoying it so far.
Draw would be nice.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Patrick Voss very ordinary

Norf will trouble some sides, they've got some good players, so the more they keep clicking...

[Stig O'Hara]

Gone Esserederon in an upset.

 

[Gethelred]

WTF is with Ken Hinkley trying to turn every dynamic forward pocket into a contested mid?

You what

Hey Stig O'Hara

 

[Opium]

Free kick *

 

[Gethelred]

Jeez, that's a soft free kick.

 

[Opium]

Hobbs

 

[Gethelred]

... what exactly are Essendon doing?

It's not forward handballing, it's forward handballing to someone under pressure. It's running the ball and moving purely by hand ahead of kicking.

It's footy by way of rugby league. Dunno what the theory is mean to be, except take metres always.

 

[Pablito]

Operation get Josh Sinn should be underway.

Loved him in his draft year and seems to have developed beautifully.

 

[T2B_]

Wouldn't miss those against us Mitch. Cmon Port grr

 

[Opium]

Mgrath number one pick so underwhelming

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What an awful quarter of football.

Close I suppose.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Gone Esserederon in an upset.

Great minds think alike

Cracking crowd btw……not
