Is it just me... or is the footy just completely uninspired this year - to the point where it feels irrelevant?

Boring games, no passion, feels like watching training. 

You aren't alone, the way the game is played is incredibly scrappy and low skilled, lots of stoppages and the free kicks at times just seem to be random.

I don't know what happened to the footy that was played only a couple of years ago, maybe we can put a little bit down to COVID making things a little weird but it just seems like such a mess right now.

    Frost is a better player than all of Lever, O Mac and Joel Smith but most around here can’t admit it just because he’s wearing a different jumper.

    Smith - Yes
    Lever - Right now, about the same
    OMac - Well Oscar played well in his one and only game, let's see how he goes this weekend

    Frost himself, not devastated he left. I had my heart in my mouth every time he got the ball, and defensively he gets caught out quite a bit. What exactly has he done at the Hawks so far to warrant your praise?

    *Hawks won't play two shocking games in a row, I wonder who they've got next week*

    *Checks fixture*

    "Ah crap!"

    Anyone else notice Bruce's very bad choice of words when describing a passage of play by Isaac Quaynor. The "correction" quickly followed.

    Think Bert Newton and Muhammad Ali

    Saints are good to watch. Hill and Butler add a real running dimension. They look fit and fast and scoring even if it is only Freo.
     

    Wowee it’s good to see a coach (Ratten) show something in the coaches box. 

  • Quote

    Saints have kicked 6 in the first term, which is double what the Hawks could conjure up in an entire game last night.

    No doubt the Saints are good to watch and well coached at present, however Freo are pretty terrible.

    Saints proving what shrewed recruiting is.

    Don't need to go out and spend 800k on a defender when you you recruit someone like a Dougal Howard who'll come in and just do the job.

    Butler, Hill, Jones all playing critical roles for the saints.

  • Quote

    As teams find finals impossible I think the drop in form will be greater than normal years. Another loss by Freo and Adelaide and they are done for the year.

    Big game for the Dees today

    They wasted that much on Carlisle

    Yes indeed. He will be the first if Goody keeps getting it wrong!!

    Hard to argue with that the way they are playing. Think Clark and Coffield have both been impressive this season and neither seemed to get a good go under Richardson.

    Seems to be a pattern in the past couple of seasons where teams get bully like kick sand in face fast starts and then drop off allowing the opposition to get back in the game. A trait we have been particularly good at in recent seasons and then fading.

    Going back to the Hawks game for a moment - their team out there for 3 goals in a game had an average age of 27 - more than a year older even than the team Collingwood sent out, and the Pies themselves  are one of the oldest teams running around at present.

    I'm already dreaming of a win over Gold Coast followed by a thumping of Hawthorn to declare our return.

    I really hate Hawthorn.  I really do.

    Saints awful in that quarter. Another average team pumped up by former players in the media.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
