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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
