I can honestly say footy is no longer my favourite sport. I have lost complete interest in it for reasons as:
a) Melbourne arnt doing well...this isnt a major reason as i do follow the hawks and brisbane 2, but dont get me wrong i love my dees
b) The rules of the game have made this sport [censored] week, and has lead to shocking umpire decisions. Its like watching netball or cricket. The push in the back rule should have only been trailed in the NAB cup yet they bring it in to the game and not the rule i think footy needs - the play on rule when u kick it backwards in the defensive 50.
c) The umpires - inconsistent...not all their fault due to shocking rules.
d) Channel 7 coverage...absolute garbage and while im at it the Ox is shocking on tv, i like him on radio but no good. Dennis seems to be worse now just due to who surrounds him in that box.
I have started watching lots of leigue...and whilst ill still follow melb i wont watch any other games unlike i used to watch 4 games a weekend
