Has The Horse Bolted? Anyone else kinda not missing footy?

[Lavender Bushranger]

I kind of feel like I'm in remission.

Initially I thought living without would be nigh on impossible.
But to be honest, now that the cold turkey has passed....I don't miss it.

I actually couldn't give a s**t if I never see a game of footy again.

Anyone else feeling sober?

 

[HaroLad]

No

 

[GROTTO]

If you remove the worldwide pandemic killing people across the globe, I would be missing footy.

Yes, the horse has bolted. When sport comes back (not just AFL) it will continue to have 0 spectators.

I think it's safe to say, this is the end of sport.

I feel like this can be partially explained by your support of gold coast

 

[BF Tiger]

I only miss the footy, not everything else that feeds off the footy.

Ive accepted that 2020 is a complete write-off for everything. Everything. Theres no enjoyment to be had or anything to look forward to. We just have to get through it.

My whole life in one BigFooty post

I live in hope that when footy does return, the bump will be back. 2-3 speccies a game will be back. Media personalities and commentators will take a step back and just let the game do all the talking.

Oh' be nice if players put more into their weekly footy than what they do off it (yes Dangerfield, that's you).

But we're in the window.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Nah definitely missing it (along with other sports) especially on weekends with * all to do currently some sport on tv would be excellent

And then we have years and years of dealing with the economic and societal fallout resulting from this. Lots of fun coming our way as the government seeks to repair the economy.

The media will also do their best to fan the panic anytime a new disease appears too.

 

[Nostradumbass]

I wouldn't be missing footy if I supported Gold Coast as well.

 

[Tiger2709]

Are you kidding, it's a living hell all you get is covid19 it's not just the lack of sport it's the lack of any other news as well.

Having said that stay safe and healthy everyone.

 

[BEaston]

Wouldn't say the horse has bolted but don't miss it that much. It's a bit of an out of sight, out of mind thing. If it were on and people talking about it, etc, then I'd be more inclined to miss it/want to get involved.

Sort of...

I miss community and junior footy so much that I'd go vegan for a month just to run the water for the u12s once.

I miss seeing Richmond live terribly. I miss seeing them play live on telly a bit. But there's plenty of replays.

The rest of the AFL - no. Will happily live without it for however long is necessary.

Much less media would be great. Most of them are so busy trying to build their profiles. Roaming Brian is a blight and reflection of how crap the coverage is. Too many teams, too many meaningless games. I loved the shorter quarters. A much purer game. Just call the game and have 10 minutes of why teams won and lost. I mostly watch with the sound down now.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I enjoy it and will be happy when it’s back.

This absurd “pillar of the community” or “people can’t live without it!” thing is pretty ridiculous though and driven by the industry’s idea of its own self importance.

 

[Cuzz09]

I am enjoying not listening to Vic media flogs as much

Even SEN are decent to liisten to ATM talking about old games/players.

Bit of reminiscing.

Im not missing live games at all.

Tomorrow wouldve been Port v Eagles at AO though... mightve gone... At least we are still undefeated v Port at AO for another season

On SM-G925I using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Heaps of fun]

Are you ******* kidding?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Kind of enjoying not having Carlton ruin my weekends for a change

In all honesty I missing other sports a lot more, like the NBA, English Football, MLB etc

2019 was one of the most boring season's ever of footy.

Eddie is doing a good job with all that Pillar of the Community/Decent supporters Collingwood Mugs are in the media.

It's rather nauseating.

 

[BigPond101]

Whenever someone posts a classic clip from youtube of a great piece of play with a huge crowd it makes me miss AFL like crazy

As for games with no crowd and shortened quarters other changes etc I have no interest better they just cancel the season and pray for 2021
