Am I mistaken or is this year's game like AFLX?

 

Really fallen a long way the EJ game. A few years back I used to think it was great fun but I feel like year on year is been getting progressively worse. It needed a revamp....  But somehow I feel changing it to AFLX isn't going to help.

I believe it's being played at AAMI Park so the field will most likely be rectangular.

as i feared.

it used to be great because it was treated semi-seriously. now it's all a joke, scripted for the sake of it. and they've ruined it.

This is not doing a lot for me I am afraid. All happening in slow motion. Amazing what age does to former athletes! 

 

Where are all the ‘legends’?

Even... really good players???

 

 


I know I have the choice to ‘not’ watch it but fair dinkum my ‘taste’ for entertainment and the of the AFL’s are faarrkking poles apart. 

Haven’t seen it for a few years. Just switched it on before 3qtr time.  Where is there crowd? And why are they playing like geriatrics, they can barely move.  Looks like a few old guys having a kick to kick with no enthusiasm, then look at the score, wtf!! 

 

Worse than AFLX and that’s saying something. 

Watched for 30 secs...game gone from a farce to a joke. Sad

Yes I watched it for 10 minutes.  Sad to see legends deteriorate with age.  It should be players who retired in the last 5 years.  Jakovich could hardly move or bend.  He was a champion for the Eagles but needed a walking frame last night.  

Hey I fell asleep after half time does anyone know where I can find a replay of last nights game? Apparently it was a nail bitter finish!

Went to rubbish as soon as they started letting C & D grade "celebrities and comedians" have a run around.

 


That really was a shocker: how so many go to seed, (Bob Murphy excepted).

I understand the late E.J. Whitten has made an appearance at AFL House threatening to haunt Gillon McLachlan for ever unless he promises never to put it on again!

 

I would much rather watch paint dry than subject myself to that farce ever again. The only thing missing was a masked man coming onto the field with a steel chair.

And the Ch 7 commentators fawning over the whole show. I know it is for a noble cause , but..............

If it's going to be rigged anyway they need to go fully in this direction and turn it into a 100% sports entertainment spectacle.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
