No spark, no great 1 on 1 contests, no room for individual brilliance besides the odd goal from Buddy. Footy is in a bad way. 1 Quote

I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again. Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's, 90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it. I switched off last night's game at quarter time and switched on The Wire when the kids went to sleep. Same tonight kids have fallen asleep watching on the couch, might keep it on cos it's close but that's the only thing keeping me watching at the moment. Quote
Earl Hood 6,167 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Gunston kicks ball siren goes but ball then bounces through goals, paid a goal? I thought the ball is dead once the siren goes. Quote
Deestroy All 14,266 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 It really is in a bad way. 24 to 31 used to be the score 10 minutes into the first quarter. Now it’s the half time score. Players are boring robots, very few characters. The few characters there are are social media vvankers. Skills are shocking. Coaching teams spend 2-3 preseasons working on a game plan and style, guess what, forget that we’re changing all the rules again. Dees are [censored]. It’s all [censored]. 3 1 Quote

At Least I Saw a Flag 5,354 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Such a poor match... stopped watching at 3/4 time. Umpires adopting the "free kick poos/wees" policy. 1 Quote
Old Man Rivers 326 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Nick Blakey - Emerging Superstar. Played a sensational game tonight. How do we get him to The Dee’s? Quote

What 18,810 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Well the hawks wont play finals. Thats about the only joy I'll get out of this season Quote
Willmoy1947 4,261 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Disgraceful performance of "magotting" tonight. Endangered players livelihoods, by not picking up and halting play in an obviously serious concussion situation. Tried to manufacture result by favouring Hawthorn and "Roughie" after their ceremonial burning during the week.Might as well not go for marks any more, not worth it. just tap to advantage. Thanks AFL....... Quote

DubDee 26,710 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Buddy was great to watch before injury. Can’t see him playing more than 20-30 games from here but he should get to 1000 goals. What a gun. And can we please recruit someone like Hayward. Only 9 touches but he was very good Quote

ProperDee 1,698 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Hasn’t Tom Scully been a revelation for the Hawks.......NOT! It’s clear his ankle is stuffed. I hope the money grubbing little toe rag fades away into oblivion. 1 Quote
