My thoughts on the GF.....
The "Bye week" was awful, totally ruined the hype and motivation for the event.
The 7:15pm start was awful, felt like it took all day & as soon as the game was over most people just wanted to go to bed and barely any neutral fan sat around for the post match stuff.
The game itself lacked "big game" atmosphere. Not sure if it was the WA crowd factor - or the fact that the style of AFL has became so far removed from what we all feel like is "Good, hard, finals football" - it just never grabbed me at all. I watched 2 teams that seemed completely at the others mercy & completely unable to resist the others momentum. Even when the game was close, i just felt like i was watching a "big" home & away match.
The finals series as a whole was fairly disappointing outside of the Lions/Dogs & Syd/GWS finals. This finals series will go and live in the AFL bargain basket @ footy HQ's, living alongside Shane Woewodin;s Brownlow medal & Marc Murphy's 300th match
Watching it just made me sad - as i could tell that if we hadn't been destroyed by injury & shat the bed - we very well could have beaten either of these 2 teams that seemed to lack the conviction to win, unless the other team was submitting.
Watching the game, it dawned on me that this league now relies on its top 5% of talent as much as the NBA does - which is concerning considering the basetball has 5 players per team vs and AFL's 18. Without Petracca, Bont, Dusty, - the last 5 years of AFL finals & GF's would be duller than a Nun's Hens party without these guys doing the amazing. Top tier talent has NEVER been more important IMO

And further flattened by the late start and the Band-Aid cover band song distraction...they have no idea the Offal...just live in their own bubble!Very true.
The bye week didnt help, the lead up to the final felt flat.
Lets see if the media poo poos the idea like they did to usDemons players to get life membership , is there anything we got left that hasnt been copied
Exactly, couldn't fit it in between the tunes. Thank god it was a good enough game. Covid hammered it, but sitting there on your own watching a grand final at 8.30 at night is not worth getting worked up about. My brother had the right idea, get a few beers in mid afternoon, as per normal and finish off with an old bottle of retsina that was lying around, off to the land of nod sitting up in the chair just before 3/4 time and wake up in the morning to see who won on Kayo. Much better idea.And where was the GF sprint?!?!
They don't have supporters either, just casual observers.They don't even have a Salt Mine thread.
Minnows.
