Discussion 2024 General AFL Discussion

[Parkysp]

I'm a wedded on 50 plus footy fan. Or was...

I've not watched a footy show, listened to the radio, watched the Brownlow etc since we finished our season. Just been on here.

Watched our women and the finals games but nothing else. Even 2 years ago I'd be consuming AFL media once our season was done but not now. My only link to the AFL is the Saints. I just feel too burned as a St Kilda supporter with our ongoing poor treatment by the AFL. This Battle decision is going to be a big marker for me if I want to continue throwing good money after bad.

Are many others the same?

I have that same feeling with Essendon.

Yeah they’re cut from the same cloth

Yes.
The Battle decision won't greatly effect me but it will probably hasten the slide.
If it goes against us then at least the agenda is out in the open, though for those who pay attention it's been obvious for a long while.
It's not like we're asking much either. Just the rub of the green on a 50/50 decision for once.

Not quite the same, but I can't stand the footy media so basically completely avoid it. Every time I watch a footy show it's either some ex-player fellating his former club, or some random pundit beating up on a minnow club. Their views are so dumb and subjective that it adds nothing to my life to watch it.

I still think the game itself is great, and the administration isn't corrupt so much as incompetent and short-term focused, but I agree it looks the same from the outside.

Nahhhh.

The Daicos goal with the three give and goes was ****ing elite. Has all the skills and athleticism you want. That should have won it TBH (noting there were no freak snaps this year).

There were plenty of freak goals, they just didn’t select one.
