How many games of footy do you watch in a week?

[meesy]

I'm curious to know if there's anyone out there that watches all nine games each weekend. I imagine if such a person exists they'd be right into big footy. It'd be easier as well at the moment with the lockdown in Victoria. Does your interpretation of what happens on field improve as you watch more games? Do umpire decisions ever make more sense? Do you gain a better eye for strategies and setups purely just by watching what's given to us by fox? Interested to hear your thoughts.

I watch at the very least 2, if not 4-5 every week. I'll watch the Port game obviously and the 'marquee match' of the round or the Friday night game. If I don't have a busy weekend I'll watch a couple of Saturday and Sunday games.

nobody watches this 2020 version of Aussie rules 9 times a weekend lol that would be torture.

More since I got Kayo beginning of last season.

However, if my team is playing well I'll watch atleast half, likely more. If not maybe one or two.

Used to watch 6 or 7, occasionally 8, fairly religiously, these days maybe 5 at most & usually most of those are sort of half watching while doing something else, still enjoy it but have a lower threshold for poor quality or over officiated games, will switch that s**t off real quick.

when the crows are flying - 3-6 games a week
when the crows are struggling - max 1 game a week

so this year? any Crows game that DOESNT fall on a Saturday afternoon

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Not much else to do in Vic at the moment. I’d watch 6 or so.

One most weekends.Maximum of three a week but rarely more than one Eagles game and a bit of background Fremantle .Not going to Optus much this season with only one corporate box visit and one other game watched live .Interest definetly down on previous seasons..

If your a guy who watches 4 or more games a round, than you would be disillusioned with the quality of footy. If you watch the less, you would think the quality is much better.

About 2-3 usually. Try to watch most QLD teams, still fond of the NSW teams, WCE when I can, and the occasional other match which piques my interest.

The commentary and coverage in general declined in enjoyment in 2012 when C7 got sole-rights, but before then I was in my early 20s, still did a bit of fantasy football, and would religiously catch most FTA football games I could unless I had something better to do.

I usually watch some of each game every week, that might be a quarter, or a half, or parts of each quarter depending on the scores, but il usually flick through and check each game out at some point especially during lockdown.

Will watch the whole game involving my own team obviously, or if its a really good game or game of interest. But usually only chunks of other games. Often it's on while I'm doing other things too its great in the background.

 

[Deathly]

AFL: 5-7
Covidball: 1-2

 

[Bomberboyokay]

0 in recent months

 

[Donakebab]

I used to watch most games each round, but currently 2-3 per round tops.

 

[PP34]

Used to probably watch 3-4 with one or two of those maybe being while at a bar or mates.

During this lockdown I've been watching almost the entire round, but a few of the games are basically background noise. Don't know why either as there has been some terribly bad football to watch.

 

[The 747]

Not much else to do in Vic at the moment. I’d watch 6 or so.

Same, not that I have enjoyed all that many games though. It makes me stop working which is a plus when you WFH and for yourself.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

This year ?

.5

I normally turn it off at half time during the crows games

 

[NetworkNerd]

Watched portions of every game. Usually have it on the background in the lounge whilst I am gaming on my phone or cooking etc

 

[Alesana]

Being in Melbourne, listening to 2-3 on the radio and watching the other 6-7

 

[nick1408]

Watching pretty much every game at the moment. When there is no COVID usually 2-3

 

[t_94]

A lot less than I used to.

 

[Spursfan]

with it spaced out I might watch most of the games.

 

[Astro_]

1 being my team, and maybe a quarter here and there of another match or two that may interest me. Usually just check the progressive scores on my phone.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Ain't much to do, no Ammos, and the footy is keeping me sane so I watch them all. I turn off if it turns into a massacre.

The wife is starting to watch most as well.

I want them to play nearly every day next year. Play more shorter games.

 

[WillHayward]

Since my wife left me for watching too much footy ive had time to watch more footy.
4 games or so.
