Preview 2019 season - FML it’s MEH

[JAKLAUGHING]

Best part for me is coming on BF after a Tiger win and reading the comments...the best!

one of things i love is reading the free kick banter on gameday threads, especially when the umpiring clearly biases one team over another.

Been a while since there was some controversy on this board so I thought I’d kick off 2019 with a little nudge.

Find myself in a very strange mindset. IDGAF about footy anymore. Why? Could it be the endless changes of the rules? Could it be the endless money spinning ideas of head office? AFLX. Rules changed constantly. Low impact investing of a women’s comp because of mismanagement. Manufactured and handicapped draws. Well, it’s a bit meh.

The game is poorly administered and over officiated. It’s turning into a sanitised appeal-all product with global ambitions. And it’s losing the life spirit of what it was. Unique and exciting and for the people and the grass roots.

I’m not gonna lie. I’m gonna struggle watching AFL this year. I’m a 20 year club member and used to be a die hard AFL fan. I’d watch 4-6 games a weekend no problems. Even last year when we were dominating, it still felt s**t to watch. The grand final - it should have been a great game but I could not have cared less. Maybe this is the valley floor after climbing the peak of Everest in 2017.

Vote and discuss peeps. How do you feel right now about season 2019?

I know I should be feeling the same way. I just don’t.

I feel exactly the same way. The league feels completely soulless.

Yeah well they’ve changed the rules on commercial reasons. It’s just an entertainment product to head office now. Starting to sound like my old man but change sucks. Haha.

Yep. It's a product like a music concert etc. Contrived so beyond belief and has been commercialised so much that there is no genuine personality that connects to the general public.
