Gather round is embarrassing and stupid

I love the concept but it's hilarious how the AFL put a big team like Richmond out in the boondocks and give Geelong prime games every year.

C'mon boy's club.

Owell,Tiger fans are the biggest drinkers in the league so AFL trying to cash in.

Having said that,this one of the best things the AFL have done unlike the blunder The Stand Rule,brought in after the AFL studied Cotchin.
They must have been extremely salty in our dynasty period with the racing of new rules,unprecedented in World team sport.
I half agree with you here. Only because Richmond is only “big” when they’re winning.. I mean you couldn’t even half fill the G last week and a fair chunk of that crowd would’ve been old Fitzroy supporters backing Brisbane.

That being said, I’m not impressed with the fact that the reigning premiers are being shafted to the back of bum**** nowhere for the 3rd year running.. when do we get a stint at Adelaide Oval?
 
Concept is fine. The way it is marketed is sickening. Things like this need to grow organically year on year because people enjoy the experience of participating on whatever level. Being repeatedly told how good it is by supposedly impartial commentators detracts from the ability of the concept to form its own reputation on merit. Turning off and walking away from matches is pretty easy when you keep getting that nonsense shoved down your throat. The sport I once loved most - cricket - has lost me forever due to the same zero credibility formula repeated too frequently and too many times in total. The AFL is following a very similar path.

At least the AFL has kept each team's eleven home games besides this round so I applaud them for that.

I think the gather round will be a round for quite some time.
The concept works.

Sth Aussie ,a state central on the map and easy for anyone to travel too.

I wanna go to one soon sigh.
How many years do you have to wait until the court restrictions are lifted and you can travel interstate again
 
good idea they could play them all at the same time on a Saturday arvo with the reserves as a curtain raiser. I'm surprised nobody has thought of it before
That’s correct, and an additional game the interstate sides to travel to Victoria. It’s a win-win situation. How good would it be.
 
We should do gather round in Victoria and get all the clubs here. ;)

Would love to go watch a Baggers game from Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo, great country town with lots of good pubs and hot babes (so much more civilised than Geelong)

I’d rather watch Gather Round from my backyard than in Geelong, haha. Bendigo would be nice
