I don't know how anyone can watch neutral games anymore. I can barely watch the highlights without being bored af

Agreed. I'm done with neutral games until finals. Might be done with our games too after tomorrow night. Part of me wants it to be done..

I find myself losing interest around half time . The way the game is being umpired has lost me . I grew up playing a game ,if you had the ball and was tackled ,if you didn't handball it or kick it you were gone . Now you can just drop it and play on . Now if a defender farts , its a free to the forward .5 players all on your back , its holding the ball FFS . No prior , no worries , holding the ball . Deliberate out of bounds ? , umpires discretion (lol) . I am not surprised the players have NFI what the umpires are going to whistle on any given match. Who would want to be an umpire with the stuff being told to them by HQ .

I don't watch neutral games anymore, the state of the game is horrible, too many times the rule interpretations run games, and as mentioned above idea become do fast paced that the skills are horrible and you dont see big scores anymore.

You're doing well, a couple of years ago if I tried to watch another game I'd end up turning it off in less than 5 minutes after a terrible umpiring decision would result in an undeserved goal, i don't even flick channels to check the scores anymore

The game has probably never been played cleaner and the players do all they can to abide by the rules, noting that defenders as in any sport will walk right on the line, yet there are more and more free kicks then ever before, just doesn't add up

The Collingwood midfield is probably the most overrated group of players to ever set foot on a field together.

 

[blitznu]

Treloar is seriously trash barely hits simple kicks and handpasses. He would drive me ******* insane if he played for us.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Stupid pies are now in front, really hoped they lose.

They don't deserve with 14-5 scoring shots but that only makes it better if they do lose.

Just realised how much I hate them, carrying on like a bunch of w***ers after beating Sydney #soproud

Kent's game has gone to whole new level at st.kilda. his impact per possession is incredible. Playing some great footy. Good on him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

This has been a great game to watch so far just quietly also.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Sam Collins is a star. If he's not an All Australian this year the selection committee needs to be disbanded.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Best game I've seen this year by a mile. So open and fast flowing, it's great to watch.

surely he and Ryan from freo would be locks down back

Haven't watched enough of freo this year to have an opinion on Ryan.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Rankine's last 2 mins , wank wank wank. * he's fun to watch.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

* this game is great, this is the AFL I love.

Being able to stay on the park would help.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

How good is this game?? If you've missed it, you've missed a beauty.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Hind is a promising player done some really nice things tonight.

Mature age recruit from VFL, 25 this year. Looks good though, wish we got him but we didn't have a pick around where he went from memory.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

******* Rakine smh, lol. Unbelievable.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Fourth time in a row the saints have beaten good coast by under a goal. Great game.

 

[Dory_77]

Agree with A11dAtP0w3R, very fun game to watch. Good contest but also flowed nicely each way.
Butler was a steal, Rankine is a gun.
