Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

AFL have gone from games overlapping to having well over an hour gap after this game finishes before Port Powers game start.

Weird, why have a big gap before the last game?

Is it so that they can have Bounce...?

Probably my least favourite football show

Gather Round been a bit flat this year?

Weather has been patchy, games mostly lopsided

Only one close game so far which was Coll vs Freo, possibly the ugliest game to watch
Very underwhelming round. A couple of games had the potential to be closer but weren't. You could easily tell Swans and Hawks would win at half time

Crowds have been decent, but the terrible games and crowds have put a dent in it.

If they are to continue it, maybe just do what they do in the NRL Magic Round and have them all at one venue? Playing at windy, suburban grounds doesn't help the spectacle one bit.

There's a clear top five (Brisbane, Sydney, Freo, Geelong, Hawthorn) who have all put space between themselves and the rest.

Bulldogs and Suns were disappointing. They are in the second group along with us and probably GWS.

The other clubs might as well pack up and start getting ready for 2027.

Pretty crap fixturing for Gather Round though.
 
Gather Round belongs in Adelaide but will lose its "must attend" edge pretty quickly unless they do something different next year. There's only so many drone shots of vineyards you can broadcast. What that "different" is, I'm not sure.

Having a handful of disgusting teams doesn't help.

They want a parade and different vineyards.

The key variable is the fixture, but the AFL wont want to "waste" good games where crowds are seemingly guaranteed. So we're stuck with average fixturing, leading into the crows (unsure why port wasnt in the negotiation.. actually.. we do) playing 2 games off a 5 day break for tasmania in a couple years time.
