Hawthorn, Fremantle and Norf.

I just find these teams so boring to watch. To be fair, I haven't minded Fremantle lately as it's pretty fun watching them get thumped.

The most interesting thing about North and Freo is their coach. Clear one and two.

Hawthorn games are fun to watch when they are in a dogfight ala the Adelaide match earlier this year. When they are skiing all over sides they are a sleeping pill. Unlike Geelong in their heyday who were a joy to watch.

In all fairness though I'd have to nominate Brisbane as the third most boring side due to pure awfulness.

Hawthorn. ( dull as dog droppings) like their supporters. 

Brisbane.  ............. Ordinary

Geelong................ The hype far outweighs the actual quality of the team

Special mention to Freo ( their hearts no in it )

I'll take three premierships worth of dull, thanks.

It's almost irrelevant posting three because North Melbourne are easily the most bafflingly dull, uninteresting, vanilla... no, wait, that's insulting to vanilla... team in the competition. There is literally not one thing about that team that grabs or excites you, and (like Fremantle last year) you know they're about a season or two away from oblivion. That smarmy, smug smile on Brayshaw and Scott's face will disappear pretty quickly.

2nd and 3rd is an interchangeable contest between non-entities like Fremantle and Brisbane, and teams like Geelong and Essendon. Both tedious to the point I'll actively avoid the game even if it's the only one on. Can't stand Worsfold, either.

At least basket cases like Gold Coast and Richmond are watchable when they lose, purely for the LOL factor.

Depends on your definition of boring.

I find watching Richmond, Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney on TV every week to be more boring than anything else.

It's certainly tedious having a combination of the same [censored] 6 teams every single week on free to air. Always some combination of Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong, Carlton and Sydney (the Franklin factor).

North, Freo or Brissie and Sydney.   But boring is very bland, I prefer the more descriptive hate....Hawks, Bombers, and probably North although there are a few competing for the Bronze medal.

Freo, in fact any team coached by Ross Lyon, by a country mile

Norf

Brisbane = Gold Coast*

*GC are so boring that they have to contrive "music" whenever they score a goal, which is, thankfully uncommon.  Talk about an artificial club, an artificial team in an artificial location.

Friday nights featuring bloody Richmond!! I'm all tigered out with the saturation they've had this year in the media also.

The other 2 spots go to the non entities in gws & gc..... their own fans get bored, I was at the gc game this year & there's no way there was more than a few thousand there (despite official attendance records) with hardly any of them observing the actual game. Pathetic. The couple of sections of mfc supporters there easily made more noise than the home crowd. Same with gws when I've been there in years gone by (albeit they weren't mfc games, so I was a little bored regardless). Just nothing clubs. I much rather beat teams I've hated for years ?

I hate hawks with a passion, but surprised they are getting called boring here. They win tight games & I like watching unsociable footy when its not against us.... but hate/envy them nonetheless.

Freo. 

....

Carlton

Collingwood. 

To be fair, Carlton and Collingwood I haven't seen in a while and they may have improved, but Freo will need to make major changes to let anyone even get close to their level of monotony.

A North - Sydney GF would put me to sleep. Seriously, would be a nightmare.

In fact any game involving North is a goddamn nightmare.

Freo are also crap to watch, they are so boring!

1. Brisbane

2. Freo

3. Melbourne

Last few years I'd have Melbourne as a clear top choice.  Our skills and (lack of ability to implement any sort of) game plan have been quite painful to watch, and if I didn't bleed red & blue, I'd never watch one of their games.

Lol North are a top club with no money that go out every week and play for there supporters , the players bleed for the jumper and club I have nothing but the highest respect for North there everything I one day hope we can be and Roos would think the same .

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
