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!

Does anyone think that Bayley Fritsch asks for the hitler youth style when he goes to the barber?

I think he thinks people thinks it’s cool… when in fact they enjoy laughing behind his back about how plasticky it can appear.

GC has always struggled to win away. Melbourne were genuinely awful during the second, but challenged at times during the third only to have GC just impose themselves and keep scoring.

They're a reasonable side this year, I think. A genuine HG advantage coupled with two away wins; their hardest fixtures are Geelong down there, the giants at Engie, and Adelaide in Adelaide. Brisbane in Brisbane is tricky but they have that fixture every year.

They get all the Melbourne clubs at Marvel rather than the G, though.

Dee’s were putrid and sunny biys were good

Hardwick has been good for suns so far …challenge is for them to play good consistent footy across most of tge season …including away games

They’re a lot bigger.

From the bits I saw, Sunnyboys just bullied the Dee’s, especially in the middle.

Nice frees to King. Must be the new love child.

Yeah I noticed that as well.

If saints are serious this should be a flogging …tiggies real ordinary atm

 

[Gethelred]

There is nothing worse IMO than an umpire who pays a free based on a guess.

 

[Gethelred]

This is worse than Thursday night's offering.

No. 7 from Richmond ahould get rubbed out for a month for that. Pushed his opponent into a leading forward's knees.

Bloke got up and couldn't see straight.

Rowell gave Oliver an absolute bath today, one of the most one sided midfield 1v1s you'll ever see

 

[RPCB]

Any time Matthew Rowell wants to play for his boyhood club will be fine. Please and thank you.

 

[gandaal]

Gee Richmond getting well beaten. They look terrible.

Good spanking

Giants any chance in tas? hmm pretty big advantage?

Will be watching this one tonight.

Should be good.

If the Giants drop their heads and get trounced, it's no indication for the rest of their season; they're a weird side, really. They can just go on a tear and play irresistable footy for months and then lose a game by 80 points out of the blue.

What this is IMO is a good test for Hawthorn. Are they as good as they've looked or are they only as good as they're allowed to play?

They run away with this by a big margin after being challenged, they're every chance to be a fair dinkum side this year.

Yeah flip of the coin, anywhere other than Tassy and I'd definitely go giants..(bloody good team on paper)

Toby’s just chipped that 55 metres.

 

[Gethelred]

Fair goal.
