Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 16 - 20

[RPCB]

The good old 8 point play. Two shit misses and then a goal in the space of 2 minutes.

 

[RPCB]

Game is so set up for the Lions. If they can’t get over the injury hit Swans at home, they are not entitled to the respect they have been getting.

If Sydney win this in Brisbane and with 3 players down for an entire half, it’s a big indictment on Brisbane.

 

[jj1978]

Clock stopped at 14:00 for a good 30 seconds there

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

When a hard tag comes off on Neale, Brisbane struggle.

 

[Arr0w]

Swans look like they are fading

 

[RPCB]

Wtf, Swans defender boots the Sherrin 50+ metres out of defense to the wing , then it bounces 10 times over the boundary line and it’s called as deliberate? I am genuinely embarrassed.

 

[Gethelred]

Sydney are a loooooong way from the form they were in when they got us today.

They're still a good side, but they're easier to disrupt, not as hard around the ball, and not as clean with the ball. Being kept in it by individuals and some important frees in back 50.

 

[Gethelred]

Brisbane do need to kick straight, though.

Shadeau Brain.

Was going to say. Naming your child Shadow would have been silly.

Not everyone has Fromsoft naming conventions...

I actually like the rule. It's not just about deliberate. It's also about kicking the ball in the vicinity of teammates. I think teams should get rewarded if they are applying pressure on the opposition that requires them to just boot it and it if ends going out of bounds on the several bounces because there is no teammate in sight then the opposition should be rewarded.

 

[SolGoodman]

These Swans are elite.

 

[RPCB]

Got to appreciate a league that changes rules every 3 weeks, umpires that are genuinely horrific but they still want a perfect spectacle for the cameras. Throw in, both ruckmen decide not to jump for the ball…. “Here, give the ball back. I’ll throw it in again.”

 

[tarczonandjane]

I’m surprised at people talking down the Swans. I’m currently at the game, and unless I am missing something while watching live, I think they’re very much the superior team since quarter time

In that term the only reason they're still in front is that Brisbane fluffed a good 5-6 shots either in transition or through missing. Bad kicking is bad footy, but they're three quarters of the side that rolled us earlier in the year, IMO.

Good game at the ground? I've never been to the Gabba.

 

[F_therest]

Cmon Sydney, do us a favour.

Want them to remain strong, they have the dogs and Port in the next few weeks.

They also have Collingwood and essendon after.

Rooting for Sydney up until the finals.

Fair call. My view is Brisbane are still missing Coleman big time. They’re just not as clean off half back without him. They try and push McCluggage back to make up for him. But they can’t take that aggressive option without Coleman in the team.

Pretty full house, pretty good atmosphere. But of course, not as good as a game at the G.

 

[RPCB]

Should Papley be walking on his ankle? Seems a bit silly that the medical staff haven’t got him sitting on a chair until the end of the game.

 

[Gethelred]

That's not 15m...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Brizzy are rolling.

2 points the diff.

 

[Gethelred]

Fair goal that.

[gandaal]

I'm so glad Essendon picked McGrath

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Scores level.

Go the draw!!!!

 

[RPCB]

Hipwood had little pressure and he produced that.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

How good was the snap from Hayward!!!
