Do You miss football

[Vicky Park]

Its like staring into the abyss.

 

[SdKfz 181]

Nope, I enjoy more than one sport.

 

[rdhopkins2]

There are only two seasons:-
Footy season &
Waiting for footy season.

Fortunately I love the cricket and A-League

 

[HBF]

Not yet. I start getting itchy feet around mid January when the tennis starts.

 

[JPetro83]

No I don't, its good to have a break from the actual games.. there is always discussion all off season to keep things interesting. Its good to get a break from the banter that goes too far. I can start to follow people who I unfollow on fb during footy season (port fans) can have lunch at work without it turning into a crows/port fight. I enjoy off season.. plus I follow cricket and the Aleague which keeps me entertained.

 

[Altum Volantes]

I enjoy the break usually, October is no mans land waiting for the Cricket and NBA to get rolling. Once trade period is done it's basically a summer of puff pieces about draftees, people 'training the house down' and a couple of players in strife for getting in a scuffle while out on the tonk.

 

[raskolnikov]

NFL!

 

[Xtreme]

It's sad I know but to some football is their entire life .

It's pretty easy when you have endless matches on dvd or backed up on hard drives that you can go back to. I have the last few seasons worth of Hawthorn games and other "neutral team" games I can watch at any time I want. I have every AFL grand final on dvd I can watch if I feel the need to (or I could just watch 13/14/15 endlessly lol).

 

[Rack Watts]

Amen for the NFL and EPL.
Being an NFL fan is sick, as it lines up almost perfectly with the off-season of the AFL.

 

[Rack Watts]

NFL!

Have to be happy mate, 6-0.
AFC Champions IMO.

Cardinals v Bengals Superbowl.

Mail them to St Agnes Post office cheers!

 

[TheKanga]

Luckily Arsenal are on fire this season.
Just beat Bayern Munich in the Champions league as well.

 

[MaddAdam]

Like an amputated limb.

 

[Billy ray]

Ivestarted watching this thing called the NFL.
Apparently there is an Aussie playing.....

 

[Stereophonic]

There's still another 21 weeks till the next season starts. It's sad getting old to the point where your life deteriorates so much you wish the new season was here already. It's like a leaf falling to the ground and biodegrading into dirt

you could purchase a ticket for next years GF, ;-)

 

[getgaff]

You don't miss footy when you pick apart the trade period and draft like I try to. My life is an all consuming football fire haha. A break from the games is good, however after the rabbit in the headlights moment that was Grand Final day I really do wish next season and redemption was closer

Soccer both Australian and English, Matador Cup before the Test series in November and the Spring Racing Carnival are my current sporting enjoyments. And the Wallabies

 

[Hipster Doofus]

1082 NBA regular season games start next week, this is after the 90 odd preseason games we're in now, then the playoffs go for almost two months.
I'm set, my body is ready. By the time the basketball finishes up it's round 7 lol.

 

[Sprout]

It feels good to be able to say yes with some conviction. The off season is a ****ing eternity.

It's handy being a fan of the round ball. Season goes forever. Somewhere between what we have and what the EPL has would be a happy medium to get the right amount of fix.

 

[Ari]

Nope. I rather enjoy the break! Also means I'm more out and about in the great weather, rather than sitting at home in front of the idiot box.

Bathurst, then A-League, Spring Racing, Tennis and welcome back Football! All with Christmas and summer weather thrown in the middle.

Come February I'm starting to itch.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Nah, not yet, I have Racing, NFL and Cricket to keep me going, it's usually about mid Jan, once and the tennis gets boring I feel the itch.

 

[Beerfish]

Been missing it for years.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

There's too much sport accessible year-round now for anyone who wants to watch to say "Grrr I'm bored!".

It's not 2000 when the 5 FTA channels showed dick all, most people were on dial-up, and Foxtel really was overpriced and aired probably 20% of what it does now.

 

[SherbertLemon]

 

[Shinboner '07]

Nah not really. NBA keeps me going over the summer. I can't wait to watch Lebron James in action again

 

[BigVic]

The offseason means the NFL, NBA, Cricket, NBL, Euro Football (La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, EPL, Bundesliga, UCL, UEL), A-League, Tennis in the New Year and Spring Racing/Perth Racing/Magic Millions/Sydney Autumn carnivals for me.

After the Super Bowl, I start to get into the AFL by planning my AFL Fantasy team, ordering my Prospectus (late Dec) and joining leagues for the long season ahead until the end of September.

My beloved Packers are doing well and are 6-0 heading to the bye come week 7. We are flying in the NFC after last year's NFC Championship collapse.
