Most disappointing team 2025

[Gavin Excell]

Based on opening round/round 1 results Carlton leading from possibly Freo

Long season etc

 

[noise36]

Freo had a bad day but considering we played away against a top 4 side it would barely be in the top 5 disappointments of the round.

Carlton, Port, St Kilda and West Coast much worse performances given the opposition.

 

[Clark G]

Too early to say this early in the season.

 

[Shane Heard]

WC players are running around at Division 4 ammos pace.

had a great year last year has been off the pace most of the year

 

[Mr.X]

Carlton.

Season was off the rails and pretty much over at 0-4

 

[demondavey]

Melbourne.

Serious list but inconsistent performances and goal kicking has stopped a top 5 finish. A lot better than where they sit.

Carlton will lose to WC today.

I dunno, it’s kind of admirable how you have turned your season around. You have a list with a lot of good parts, but your lack of avenues to goal is a structural problem that has consistently been left unaddressed.

Hard to go past the Saints for mine, the current team has no identity. What game style are they attempting to implement? What are they trying to improve on?

 

[MisterMarcus]

Assuming 'most disappointing' means falling furthest short of expectations, then clearly Carlton.

To be talked up as premiership fancies and be where they are now, with no obvious reason like decimation with injuries, is a major disappointment.

 

[Hobbes]

Very difficult to not point the finger at both of last yesr’s grand finallists, neither of which are in contention for finals.

Brisbane are 3rd

 

[Hobbes]

Brisbane are 3rd

Bah. My brain failed me. I was thinking of the minor-round top 2.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Carlton

then

Melbourne.

 

[timokane]

blues dees thus far but maybe saints as well

Can we really be disappointing if we were expected to be bottom four by most people?

[voorhees]

DEE'S - most of the season have shot themselves in the foot with miss goals and poor play.
Have wasted the list they have by not winning or trading some assets when they had the chance to.
Won't play finals and have big decisions coming at the conclusion of the year.

 

[HairyO]

Carlton

then

Melbourne.

Are we actually surprised with Melbourne?

 

[PCORF]

Sydney Swans and Melbourne are my top 2.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Did most people have you bottom 4? Most people had Tigers, WC and north, and then the 4th team was a mishmash of different teams.

 

[Roobs321]

I think a majority probably had dees as that 4th team. They had their advocates to resurge but the safest choice.

 

[Skipper_]

I reckon a lot of people would have had Essendon, St Kilda and even Adelaide and Gold Coast below the Dees coming into the year.

 

[Roobs321]

Port’s only excuse really is the succession, been untrustworthy compared to most other sides. Also coming off a 1-2-11-3-2 H&A era that failed to produce a granny, so the slide is more bereft. Season remains salvageable though, worth remembering they were outside the eight R19 last year.

 

[Roobs321]

I reckon a lot of people would have had Essendon, St Kilda and even Adelaide and Gold Coast below the Dees coming into the year.

yes, but once again the dees likely in greater numbers than those

 

[voorhees]

Are we actually surprised with Melbourne?

they have lost a good number of games by there own doing.
Could be contending if just a few games went there way.
