So guys with the season now officially over for 2014, how did you rate it?

  • Who were the biggest winners and losers?
  • Who amazed and disappointed?
  • What was the biggest single fail of the year?
  • What was the biggest single win of the year?

You get my drift.

kindly refrain from trolling

we'll let this thread run for a bit and see what happens.

Purely from an on field perspective (results, how the game was played, the quality of the contest) 2014 was a fantastic season. It's just a shame that there was so much bullshit on the periphery (thank you Melbourne, Essendon, and the AFL more broadly).

Because of those distractions the season won't be remembered as it should.

Fairly average year need Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond, Carlton, Essendon (North + Geelong can make up the numbers) in top eight every year to make it interesting with massive crowds because they are all local suburbian derbys like the good days.

It will always be remembered as the year the gender gap was broken, the year a female player won the brownlow

Reckon a fully fit Freo team would have beaten Hawthorn last week in a prelim.

A fully fit Geelong would have won the flag last year. Hypotheticals are fun!

Awesome season, really. Alot of up and comers. Even the truly terrible teams still had a handful of wins. Alot of ups and downs and momentum changes throughout the season, with Gold Coast and Collingwood and Adelaide and Eagles at times looking the goods and other times not looking it at all. Port flying home only to fall achingly short of a grand final. North finally achieving their potential somewhat. Was a great season all in all, enjoyed it alot. The essendon stuff and Sanderson sackings were the only real blight.

Biggest winners- Hawthorn
Biggest losers- St Kilda ( Pick 1 softens the blow somewhat).
A great season all things considered. Hawks v Power Prelim game of the year and was worthy of a GF.
Today´s match only good for watching a super team smack down an opponent so brutally.
