And Brisbanes chances of winning the flag

Agree. I'm watching the Brisbane game and it's barely holding my attention. Commentators just said it was the best game of the round so far.
Not enough characters and edgy menace in the game anymore.

St Kildas centre square tap work has been brilliant.

Richmond down to 12th, so we just need to win by any margin. We lose, and they are back in the top 8. Its how close the last few teams near the bottom of the 8 are.

Endless chipping and keepings off, low scores and congestion.Coaches have destroyed the game. They said the new rule on manning the mark had saved our game but the coaches found a way to grind the game back into an ugly defensive arm wrestle. It's sad.

Brisbane sheen has worn off, exposed with lack of pace down back.
Saints have cut them to pieces tonight

Yep massive loss.

It's sanitized. Needs an injection of crazy. Bring in a rule that every team has to play 2 WWE wrestlers. I wanna see The Undertaker at full forward for the pies.

It needs something. It is totally robotic.

Endless rule changes won't work, coaches just keep adapting as you noted.
Could do something like award extra points for goals scored.. Eg. A win under 10 goals.. 2 points.. 10 to 16 goals, 3 points, 16 to 21 goals 4 points... Over 21 goals 6 points..
Players wear helmets and bring back the bump and allow some biff and agro drama without dishing out fines and suspensions.

For me it's not isolated to just football, other sports have lost their appeal too. Not sure if it's the digital age attributing to it (over abundance of instantly accessible content), a natural occurrence as one ages, over-analytics and not enough instinctive play... whatever it is, my interest is steadily decreasing.

That's the word, ROBOTIC, sums it up nicely

Wish our ruckman could do that

 

[bunter]

Game is way too technical and over officiated. Every contest results in a free kick and this is causing players to stage for them.

Mine too actually. That's a good point. I used to love watching cricket and tennis.. now can't be bothered. I guess as we age and the more of it we see the less it excites. A bit like travel. I used to get a real buzz out of seeing some ancient castle or Roman ruins. It's a bit meh when I see them now.

I agree, I've gone from a cricket tragic to couldn't give a toss about it and can't watch it at all

Think you're onto something here. I can't watch neutral games anymore.

Ditto. It feels manufactured mainly because it is. Gone are the days of Lille Marsh, Thommo, Dougie and the Chappells.
I reckon 20/20 was the last nail in the coffin. May as well be baseball

Turned the game off THursday night, Haven't watched Friday or Saturday. Should be going today. Walking the dog has more appeal. There's a game of Under 14s just down the road. It still looks like the game I used to play. That will do me

 

[Moore of the Same]

Im sorry, but thats not a free kick.

 

[Moore of the Same]

GWShit.
