Teams that take preseason matches way too seriously

[V_23]

Collingwood - You beat sh*tmond by 30 points. Just relax, they’re cannon fodder in 2024, no need to try so hard.

Melbourne - We all know you had a tumultuous offseason but you don’t have to treat a preseason match like a final.

Imagine taking the preseason matches so seriously, especially when there’s no Wizard/NAB cup up for grabs.

I'll take Freds started by flogs whose team lost their preseason game for $500 please Alex

Spot the difference.
And it's not that in the real season one won the spoon and the other got to a prelim.

Certainly can't accuse St. Failda or lolhorf of taking it too seriousy

Nor Failmantle, Fold Coast, Swines or Tuggers

Add Saveloy Rockstar to the ‘taking it too seriously’ list…

Fixture - Preseason is meaningless... (or is it?)

Obviously the results of 1 game with no premiership points attached is no indication of how H&A will go, but... I can't help but feel the 'preseason ladder' is actually not that far off The following will almost certainly happen: Worst Coast win b2b spoons :whitecheck: Horf bottom 4 again...

Honestly the AFL should just scrap preseason and make these games round 1… at least 24 games a year would be a slightly more balanced fixture

And they should do so immediately with a retrospective decision. You know it makes sense

And yet I still don’t GAF

Perhaps if this criticism was coming from someone whose team had scored 40 some time in the last 200 days…

Nope. Still wouldn’t care

For Melb players it's only 3 sleeps till September, and you can hardly blame them from suffering a little white line fever
