I consciously stopped consuming most footy media other than some demons and footy podcasts that I was interested. I used to consume 360, on the couch, SEN , Classified (worst of the lot) each week and watch something pretty much everyday. It's mostly toxic rubbish Other than gameday Demons games and the odd big game, I didn't watch any football shows and it certainly made the year more enjoyable.

It really should be, play each team once, alternate home and away each year. Especially once Tasmania come in. Will never happen but each game would attract more interest and be a fairer competition

Well prepare to be disappointed. That, one away game with Essendon and an interstate game in the last round are MFC fixture locks every year. Personally I'm hoping for less night games yes good for club exposure etc but I hate attending them other than Anzac eve and finals.

Collingwood the first team I can remember to just hang in there for the campaign and get it done. Usually 1 team had a great September and plays great footy in the finals to get it done. Collingwood not so much. A premiership is a premiership but a really forgettable one for the neutrals

Just feels flat. Usually have some happiness for the premieres even against Hawks and geelong teams I despise. But this just feels [censored] can't even feel the emotions from the screen that I usually can.

Could have lost their 3 finals won all three sometimes just meant to be

Advantage Collingwood. Ridiculous Collingwood get the rub of the green yet again.

Frampton in Leon Davis territory

Bobby hill having the game in a final that kozzie always threatens to have

Intensity is rnd 6 level

GF crowds not as loud or parochial as they are in other finals, due to the huge amount of corporates and cost of tickets. I actually think that and heat will play into Brisbane's favour

💯 agree, so many posters on here assume Petty will be back ready to go next year and just slot back into the forward line in the form he had before he got injured. He had a great couple of weeks and showed he might be the answer permanently but I'm not assuming it will just happen

Reunited with his great mate Jake lever

Great in the air and like him as a player but couldn't bear to watch him fluff easy kicks at goal every week

Hasn't had credibility for a long time now. About 20 years

Well done Jack Viney 7th in a Brownlow thoroughly deserved, and had a better last third of the year than trac. So umps got that right

Bont and trac , Gulden robbed

Didn't know that yeah he wins

Goulden , Bont tie

Agree. North blitzed us in the 1st then nothing for 3 qtrs and ended up with a vote getter. But these are umpires remember

Neale $1.15 on sportsbet. It's all over

Right under the umpires nose all game and Brisbane win alot without any other real standouts

Not best 22 certainly , but good depth . Definately would have preferred him over Laurie and Jordon in the finals this year if he was fit

McStay is a big out for the pies. I don't rate him much but he had been decent in the finals and takes a good defender. Harris Andrews should have a field day and Brisbane forwards will keep Collingwood backs accountable. Midfield battle will be interesting and could go either way. Overall Brisbane more talented and should get it done if they don't get stage fright

That's some Nostradamus level foresight .I'll take 4 years of mcKercher while our current window and if he reaches the levels you suggest if being a walk up captain for a new Tasmanian team chances are he's helped us Jag another flag. Best available without crystal balling is Taylor's philosophy
