NON-MFC: Round 06

Finally, a semi decent round of footy. Nine games, most competitive.

How the AFL could have cocked this season's fixturing up so woefully is beyond me.

Awful mate.

Most games have been shocking to watch as well.

Feels very one sided this year so far.

So many rubbish games, including most of the Gather round games (not helped by the weather of course, but still).

For neutrals, i can only think of two great games this season - for the drama, our comeback win against the blues (but not a great game skill wise) and the Cats hawks Easter Monday game.

I might be missing some, but geez that's a pretty poor return for box office games after 5 rounds and OR.

Draw isn’t much better.

Bulldogs soon have 9/10 games in Victoria… talk about a cruisy patch.

Our bye isn’t until r16.. 🥴

I would add Crows v Bulldogs was a great game but otherwise I agree there have been few games for the purist to enjoy.

Add the issue of the Tigers, Eagles, Bombers and Blues only having 4 wins between and at times barely competitive is a big stain for the league.

Opening round - fail

Thursday and Friday night fixturing - fail.

Limited highlighting of the WA Derbies and the SA Showdown - fail.

And the AFL would be devastated that none of Blues, Bombers or Tigers will make the finals. It also looks possible that Collingwood might not either. A lot of AFL fixturing emphasizes these teams being promoted and favoured due to $ and crowd size.

A lot of games have been strange - high scoring and free flowing accompanied with a definite reduction in skills.

I am now going to confess something that I hope does not earn me Demonland suspension - I might actually be hoping Carlton win tonight...

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
