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 REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
