Where are the ‘won’t make finals’ or ‘straight sets’ options?
Damn, you didn't actually see any winning grand finals live? You better take the next opportunity in about 50 years, you don't know what you missed out on.Seen 3 with heaps of relatives having nice food on a 80inch 4K TV listening to the commentary with Bose surround sound speakers. How was your meat pie, sausage roll and beer stained clothes?
People have been predicting us to go out in straight sets every year for a decade.Where are the ‘won’t make finals’ or ‘straight sets’ options?
Well it did happen in 2014 and 1997.People have been predicting us to go out in straight sets every year for a decade.
It never happens, especially given how good our record is the second week after a bye.
Just underneath the 'Eternally offended by Geelong' option
True, but my point is that opposition supporters predicted us to go out in straight sets in 2013, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.Well it did happen in 2014 and 1997.
Otherwise our semi final record over the last 35 odd years has been pretty good.
Nah ….. not casting a vote to this thread due to the limited options available.

3 premierships in the last 11 years, 4 since 2006 …… if that’s not great so be it.You've been whinging about Geelong since 2006. Not been a great 20 years for you.

Please tell me you aren’t trying to say it’s better to see your team win a flag at home on the tv than it is being at the game.Seen 3 with heaps of relatives having nice food on a 80inch 4K TV listening to the commentary with Bose surround sound speakers.

Haven't won a final since 2015, those flags are well and truly in the rear view.3 premierships in the last 11 years, 4 since 2006 …… if that’s not great so be it.
Don't forget the nice food!Please tell me you aren’t trying to say it’s better to see your team win a flag at home on the tv than it is being at the game.
Yeah only PFs are worth it imo.
Now be honest how many times did you glance at the shitty big screen when the other players were on the other side of the field and you couldn’t see anything? Yeah exactly.
I’m of the firm view that the players skills look much better on TV and if you wanna talk about celebrating the win. Having a whole heap of family members with me rather than strangers is better to me.
I can’t believe that someone would rather see their team win a flag on the couch rather than being there.Don't forget the nice food!

There is a good reason why the windscreen is a lot bigger than the rear view.Haven't won a final since 2015, those flags are well and truly in the rear view.
Yeah, you're supposed to be able to dodge the oncoming car crash trades and draftees.There is a good reason why the windscreen is a lot bigger than the rear view.
A bit rich throwing out snob after canning the humble working man's meat pie! You then indicated that not everyone can afford it. Totally fair enough if that's your situation. Kind of a different argument but anyway.Can’t believe you can’t accept people like different things.
Being a GF attending snob isn’t a good look even if you think it is. Most people here haven’t been to one.

There's no doubt you see things really clearly on tvs these days. Every decade has seen a big shift but it's been on steroids the last decade. Watching on SD now is putrid! Sound is also awesome nowadays. So yeah big screen nice sound family around - clearly a cracking day.
And yet crowds have not suffered despite every game being live for not much money, when only 20 years ago 1-2 games a weekend were live. It wasn't that long ago channel 7 started the friday night game an hour late after better homes and gardens!
To me it speaks to the human desire for shared experience which we are hard wired to enjoy. There is nothing quite like seeing it in person, right in front of you! as a crows supporter might say, hearing the cauldron like atmosphere. Even if it is slightly ruined these days by music and screaming ground announcers.
