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!

Horrible game of football.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Six goals to 5 near 3/4 time. Must be wet and windy at Marvel

 

[T2B_]

That DBJ can play when he wants to

 

[norway blue]

That’s a goal.

Kicking was regarded as an asset FWIW

Might just be having a bad night. Got some ball winning ability.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Draper has been useless forever.

god i love watching merrett

Tonight is definitely all about who can be slightly less terrible

 

[Wickzki]

Type of game * scrape over the line.

Unless * find a way to *it up.

 

[Gethelred]

One day, they'll think of an alternative term to bull to describe a midfielder who runs in a straight line, and the day after that Melbourne will be taken by the sea god.

 

[Wickzki]

Great goal Horny.

 

[Broadside]

JHF wow he’s alive

 

[Gethelred]

He's had a dud night, but that's a good goal.

 

[Gethelred]

That's a shocking mistake.

 

[myblueroan]

Aww...
Look how cute!
Essington are winning.
Bless.

I am so disillusioned that I'm actually happy that their poor supporters are getting some happy.

Going to look for a bar of soap.

 

[Gethelred]

That's not a mark.

 

[Wickzki]

Makes me sick * have a few promising kids like Kako with modern footy skills.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

26 scoring shots to 18.

Dons should be 6 goals up.

 

[Coona Blues]

Settle down * Tipped you by just 6.

 

[Gethelred]

This is the closest attempt I've seen to an 2018 Richmond adjacent setup as I've seen. Spent the majority of the game taking territory and pressuring the clearance, but they've been brutal on turnover in the last term.

Port are exhausting, unable to go with them on the overlap and aren't able to escape the pressure trap.

The things missing are Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin, but it's still an interesting approach.

 

[Wickzki]

Waste so much time just to miss. Bad game awareness by the veteran there.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Tipped it.

Sunday night we may very well be on the bottom of the ladder.

 

[SolGoodman]

Port are no good.

If anything, this shows how volatile the competition is this year. Essendon looked like the worse team in the comp last week. Then they schooled Port tonight, despite the game being atrocious
