    I doubt footy shows have become any worse. Your declining interest in footy media may be less about the quality of the shows themselves and more about the passage of time. I know that I would consume almost anything football-related in 2021 and while we were reigning premiers in 2022. Now that we've been displaced, I'm less interested in all forms of footy media.

    And it could also just be down to general moods and interest level raising and lowering over time naturally. 

    Whatever it is, the interest level is much lower currently. Maybe I'm just happy getting all my info from DL lately 🙂

    i think the football commentariat have joined the ranks of real estate agents, used car salesmen and reality show producers.

    when i was young i seem to remember that the footy press was much more humble, more positive of the game and the players. now they are arrogant self-promoting rabble rousers looking to highlight negatives and criticise clubs, players and coaches whilst over-accommodating their masters at afl house. part of the problem is that there is just way too many of them fighting over the same scraps like seagulls.

    I literally can't take it. In the space of 12 months I've gone from watching First Crack, On The Couch, 360 2 or 3 nights a week and the Monday FC to almost none of that. 

    I almost see these shows now in a WWE wrestling kind of way with manufactured viewpoints and scripted 'feuds'. I wouldn't even be surprised if some of the disagreements on these shows are scripted because people like arguments and they get clicks. 

    I'm exactly the same. Sunday footy show the only one I watch which has some good analysis sometimes, sometimes some laughs but to much Tony Jones and the panel trying to wind up Tony Jones alot of the time.

    Say anything worth repeating? 

    Apart from the bit about Clarry that i didn't catch.

    The only point i took was that he thought Reg was probably better spending a tad time forward more so than himself with Maxy suggesting more time in the middle CB for himself?

    He made a point about training for goal kicking about 4 times a week and it was treated seriously with Choco lurking in the wings post match if they stuffed up lol.

    I was on the road plus ongoing toothache flaring at the time so don't hold me to the accuracy about reg & forward/ CBA stuff.

    There are plenty of good Dentists in Lulie st Just ask anyone who lives nearby!

    I admit that I have some anxiety about Monday’s game, but, along with the general optimism of Tuesday’s podcast still creating a warm glow, I just discovered that there’s a show on Binge called FBoys.

    I presume most of the Magpie supporter base is watching this trash, and enjoying it.

    You don't know Melbourne's own Premiership player Tayla Harris, world surfing champ Mick Fanning or Melbourne Cup winning jockey Michelle Payne?   

    As for Abbey Gelmi ... no idea what her claim to fame might be.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
