Agreed. An all round crap season thus far.

My friends and I who all barrack for different teams have a footy chat group going. It’s been going for a good 4 years now. And gees everyone is disappointed in this season so far, even those who support teams that are doing relatively well. It’s like tumbleweeds in the chat and tumbleweeds on game day. Total snooze fest. 

yeah, a facebook group i am part of has been saying the same - there's richmond at one end, carlton and brisbane at the other, and then a whole lot of ordinary in between

    It may have something to do with the current trend in footy.  In previous years teams implemented a flood, then a cluster, then a press, then a stoppage based gameplan.  The last two years have seen the Bulldogs and Tigers win premierships on the back of frantic pressure and frenetic ball movement.  Teams are trying to either imitate or implement this ideology.  With this leap in pressure, the skills have gone to hell.

    Envy is of course a deadly sin but you just have to chuckle at the luck of Richmond..

    Record members and revenue and this week they hit Collingwood on an absolute upbeat crowd wise. They are expecting 80k plus.

    Good luck to em but hell it would be nice if it were us. :)

    Well, Richmond have beaten us, Brisbane, Carlton and Hawks. All previous season finals no shows. They may be premiers and top of the ladder but a big call saying they are significanty better than their closest rivals. Last season the Bulldogs were in a similar position and 4/1 after five rounds, still re-living their premiership glory and receiving copious platitudes. Richmond are hot ATM but things can change quickly.

    At docklands... crowd better than I expected. Maybe 17k.

    Hard to work out if either team is any good but port seems to be a notch above North.

    Every time brown goes near the ball the crowd scream for a free kick.

    Jack W not starring so far. Had a relatively easy set shot in the first quarter and missed.

    Gray (46) can certainly play. 3 goals so far

    Cats V Geelong turning into a ripper game. 10 mins to go and Sydney are back in front after trailing by about 5 goals.

    Boy... this is a cold stadium when the roof is shut and the crowd is low.

    Port well on top. North just too sloppy.

    On a more general note this game style is no fun to watch as a neutral. Very few good plays. It's just about who Bullock's better.

    Game style does nothing for a player like Watts.

    1 goal 1 from 9 disposals, 3 marks and 3 tackles currently

    A standard Watts ‘decoy’ game

    You look at Sydney's leadership and then ours and that's why we are where we are. Struggling.

    Did you check out their coaching staff as well?

    Wow what a great win by the swans with no Buddy or Hannebery. That would make the cats fans down there a tad angry. You would think on your home ground and  with those 2 out you would win. Especially with a 24 point 3/4 time lead. 

    as for Nth well how do you come out and play last week and thrash the hawks but can't back it up against Port. Back to reality Nth. 

    Port where was this effort a few weeks ago when you played the scum?

    Both Scott brothers have not had a good day today.

    Impressive coaching staff, but we have assembled a reasonable team too. I'm more concerned by the on field, than the off field. We simply have no leadership on the field. 

    I'll be interested to see how we go with Tom McDonald in the side.

    The GWS and BL game is awful to watch.

    You can't complain about the north spirit.

    8 goals down but 3 quick ones to the kangas

    They kicked  a few goals when the game was well and truly over.

    Not sure that qualifies as spirit DJ, they were flogged.

    It was intended as a subtle reminder/comparison of a team that did the opposite two weeks in a  row. :)

    slightly off topic but Melbourne Victory had the semi final sewn up...2-1... and Sydney scored a goal with 15 seconds to go.

    Now off to extra time for 30 minutes

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
