Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 11 - 15

[Just Kreuzing]

Charlie Dixon concussed someone in the twos. So can put him in the “Some AFL players become thugs in the twos” basket with Luke Parker then.

He should be ok by what they were saying, bump to chest/shoulder region and head hit the ground on landing causing the concussion.

Her commentary ruined Charlie's 10 last year.

Sounds like a tortured rat.

Last year she ruined my remote, walls/plaster & plasma screen…..

Carlton supporters are deluding themselves that the MCG will turn the tables on the Swans. The Swans have a generational midfield, best coach in the league, grandfinal experience and they are putting together one of the great seasons. The other grand finalist will need to create the upset of the century to beat them. It is not impossible but realistically, the rest of the comp is playing for 2nd

All it takes is them to be 10% off, one or two injuries...

Melbourne were 10-0 in 2022 and were premiership monties.

She ruins every game

Swans haven’t had a form slump yet… they only need an injury or two

GWS/Port being the worst game of the weekend definitely wasn’t on my bingo card.

Didn't they have their generational midfield (bar Grundy) and the best coach in the league and grand final experience last year when we beat them in the semi final last year?

Or is it that Grundy and Taylor Adams (remembering that in the final last year they had Mills and Parker) transform their midfield from one we beat at our last game at the G to "generational".

Personnel will change, they will be gettable. To suggest that a grand final is a fait accompli this far out is simply ludicrous.

Better prospect than Cripps apparently, mainly because he plays in a tougher position supposedly.

Not comparing players 36. Just a good mark.

Who can they least afford an injury too? Who would have the biggest impact on their style….,

Is it Grundy, Heeney, Warner, Gulden or Blakey…..

Grundy for mine !

You might be right they have a very complete team ATM amid no major injuries other than Mills.

Some here including myself have the belief that aren’t as ‘invincible’ on the G.

They may have a great midfield but have not achieved anything to this point other than only losing one game,(at the G I might add).

I’m sure coaches are working on how to beat them as they have a large sample size.They cannot play any better than they are and there is NO team who are even close to their best as well BUT premierships aren’t won in June.

Come finals and the season starts again.They drop one final and everything turns upside down.

The season is not a forgone conclusion.

Rest assured that the coaches & teams who are working on game plans or strategies to beat them won’t be showing their hands just now either.

That’s extremely unkind to rats

Having a joke about Hogan being pumped up continually by Paul roos in the media when he was coaching Melbourne which got him over the line to beat cripps in the rising star award.

Particularly if it’s Heeney or Warner

How long since all of Baggers, Filth and Scum have all been in the top 4 at the same time????
