Opinion AFL 2025 Round 22 - Weekend Wrap & Liked, Learnt, Hated

[Disco Dew]

I’m growing tired of what North are dishing up season after season. It’s alarm bells now.

How do you think north fans feel?

How do you think north fans feel?

Well the players don't look like they care

 

[Disco Dew]

Well the players don't look like they care

they’re just there to collect a paycheck. Easy money

 

[Viceregal]

More compo picks?

The next 5 pick ones maybe?

What do you have against pick one players?

 

[Smotie2]

What do you have against pick one players?

Nothing...just north needs about 40 of them to be competitive

Sending five (or forty) of them to play for North is just cruel...

Liked:
West Coast played very well, might be light at the end of this 4 year tunnel. 5-7 wins next year should be the target.
Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton and Port all showed up to make it a pretty good weekend of footy.

Learned:
The season is wide open with Brisbane and Collingwood looking a bit rickety
The manoeuvring to get Gold Coast first week of finals will be interesting. I'm sure Geelong will want them rather than Collingwood/Hawks/Brisbane at the MCG.

Hated:
Essendon Saints on a Friday night, please make it stop, bury them lunchtime Sunday like they deserve.
Sydney not playing finals, injuries took their toll earlier in the year, will be a big 2026.
One team will miss finals from the top 9, any could win it on their day.

The way WC played I think they can aspire to more than 5-7 wins. Maybe double-digits.

Going from 1 win to 10 is a huge change, but they showed they are capable.

That they are a better team without him

And at his best they’re a better team with him.
