    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.

    I’ve heard of Shaw, Dunstall, Bana and Finch - no clue as to who the others are!

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
