Opinion Is this the worst AFL season ever?

I'll allow it.

Then Hawthorn sign Merrett and start another dynasty under Mitchell. What a boring outcome for fans.

Not seeing the problem here

The real worry is if Butters changes his mind and chooses us rather than the Dogs. Only 25 vs 30 years old Merrett and Petracca.

Minus the freo-suns game and a single 1/4 in the gws-hawks game, this finals series has been a one sided borefest so far. Fitting for the H&A season we had

Hawthorn winning the flag in a blowout will make this the worst AFL season ever. Each finals series have been one-sided and unwatchable except for Freo-Suns.

Sucks for neutrals and equalisation wise. Finals have been a let-down

GWS came back well in the third quarter.

Plus, its a bit of catastrophisation to conclude a game is "unwatchable" because a team was well beaten.

If I had been watching Richmond, I’d think the game is bloody awful too.

Richmond may have been awful at times but that is because we are in a rebuilding phase.

What is a true indicator of the poor state of the game is that the team that finished on top of the ladder got bundled out of the finals in straight sets. Did they win a quarter of footy during those two finals?

In terms of neutral viewing I'd say 80% of regular season games are boring as hell. Umpiring is 50/50 as to what's going on.

In terms of AFL decision making it's the worst of all time.

Best prelims ever. May not turn out as such but 4 heavyweight teams who are evenly matched.

2022
2023
2024

Last 3 premiers in there. Pies n lions prelims in 2022 also and Lions runners up in 2023. Cats prelim in 2024. Hawks are good also.

 

[BigVic]

Saving the best till last. Last 3 premiers in it plus the Hawks

What is the issue with this?
