The skills have been declining for years. Merging the Gold Coast/Brisbane and North/St. Kilda will somewhat improve the highlights, the talent pool requires compression.

I love your passion, that was a thesis.

Put us out of our misery and call the game off. That was the worst half of AFL I've seen at any level. What an embarrassing promotion for the game, I can only hope Gill steps in and eliminates both from the prospective Good Friday game next season.

Disgusting quality, this rubbish should've been allocated into the Sunday 1.10 timeslot. I'm turning it off at half time, even on the most boring day of the year I can make better use of my time.

Well done North. Whinge and sook for years until you land a public holiday game, then proceed to churn out that rubbish. You won't be receiving Good Friday for much longer, enjoy it while it lasted.

Merge the two Queensland teams and be done with this repeated injustice. Anyone who thinks this problem will resolve itself with better governance is delusional, opposition teams are feasting on their carcass year after year.

It will always be a VFL first, AFL second. Even the OP's solution would be scoffed at by the Pro-Victorian hierarchy.

Geez that's putrid. Whitfield is elite when compared with the other three.

Streak had to come to an end eventually. F*** I've loved rubbing it into their scum fans.

He was a gifted athlete who could look like a star against a weak opponent. I remember one performance against the Gold Coast in 2016, he was Carey esque. Unfortunately, he lacked footballing instincts and would go completely missing more often than not. I think he probably underachieved given...

Langford would have to be the worst set shot I've seen. The poor bloke has a nervous breakdown every time he has to line up, never kicks through the ball and invariably butcher's the shot. I saw that he's 1.11 for the season, there have been a few that didn't score as well. He doesn't take any...

Should've won by a lot more, we were putrid in the second half with far too many wasted chances for an AFL team.

Will Langford is almost trolling us at this point. He has shown the ability to take strong contested marks, his tackling and ferocious attack on the ball is outstanding and he shows more heart than anyone. His kicking, however, is such a deficiency he really shouldn't be allowed near an AFL...

Paul Chambers who somehow played for both Sydney and Geelong.

Your third paragraph is so cringey. Why even bother making the thread?

Nah, we would've literally stolen the win if they gave us the behind. Watch the scoreboard, it was clearly after.

Read the previous 20 posts. It's been mentioned at length

Langford's conversion is beyond a joke now. My wife laughed at me when I predicted he would miss the shot, she then laughed even harder when he proved me right.

Langford is an embarrassment to the league.

To their credit, they're still winning every free kick count. Another impressive 23-18 victory tonight.

I hate sounding anything like KB, but it was all about the big bags that drew me into footy as a youngster in the 90's. I'd watch Plugga, Ablett Snr, Dunstall, Modra, Rocca, Carey, Lloyd and Richo every week just to see how many goals they'd kick. I'd then marvel at how the race to the Coleman...

I was a fanatic as well. I actually followed the VFA before the AFL as that was all I could watch as a 5-7 year old (good old Phil Cleary on ABC) I remember dragging my Dad to the 1998 Grand Final (Springvale against Werribee) and they caused a massive upset. It was one of my favourite...

Off topic, however it astounds me how rigged some of the Junior B&F awards are across local leagues. So often I've seen my brother and his mate's overlooked for crucial votes because the coaches son was 'most efficient' with his three kicks.

It reminds me of the Lakers Kobe/Gasol/Nash/Howard line-up that failed dismally. The idea of having all-time greats in the same team is appealing, it doesn't always work when two of them are way past their best and injury prone.

I would try and defend the fact it's for a good cause and some light fun, however the disturbingly low profit distribution to the actual cause was a disgrace.

Rant of the year nomination.

I met Wirra when I was in grade 6 at a footy clinic. We couldn't believe how short he was. Some of the smartass kids were actually mocking him saying 'i'm taller than you, hahaha'. He challenged one of the brats to a kicking contest, and proceeded to kick it the entire length of the school...

Nathan Eagleton had an absolute cannon for a smallish player. David King is around 5ft11 and could roost them over 60m with ease (his soccer goal from inside the square is still the most ridiculous goal you'll ever see)

They're a classic case of a team peaking too early, overachieving, losing hunger and ultimately receiving a reality check. They weren't the best team in 2016 and they've been exposed heavily this season.

I actually enjoyed your post, it was well researched and I learnt a few things as well. Go easy on the salt, though.
