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

[rocket18]

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?

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

It feels like the gloomy weather has crept into the footy.
It feels like winter has come early

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

Probably my least favourite football show

You have to allow time for The Bounce.

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.

I see that Port’s rebuild is now in full swing. They dropped the 22 year old midget they brought in last week and replaced him with a 27 year old failed forward so he can run around in the backline with no accountability and chase kicks. They have a dynasty just around the corner !!

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.

Lol no free against Nasiah....vfl bias continues

Cmon Sainters

Wow that was soft Marshall....

 

[FR0GGY]

Has Aliir gone close to that cliff? Looks disinterested.

Hope it lasts all night.

 

[Geoffa32]

First good team Port have played all year....

Could get ugly

 

[FR0GGY]

JHF taking his mount guard out like it’s his shot

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Kane detests when players duck into a tackle. Surprisingly when it's a saints free. I wonder if he'll say the same when Butters is flopping and ducking all over the place?

 

[Pea Nut]

Speaking of soft, LOL Drew. An air swing instead of picking up the footy. Spud

 

[FR0GGY]

50 there throwing it to the wrong player

 

[Geoffa32]

Port being smashed in clearances, who was their midfield coach last 3 years?


Be like us making VB Head Coach after Nicks....

 

[FR0GGY]

DBJ spitting the dummy already

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Phillipou playing up forward, interesting...
