AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
More entertaining that year was how Geelong didnāt make the grand final. They lost the AFL gifted qualifying final after the afl played funny buggars and scheduled the game at Geelong (something not done for a final before or since). Then in the preliminary final they blew a 20 point lead in the last term to lose by a kick. As the old saying goes..lifeās a bitch then you marry one.The 2013 grand final
No current season stats available
Round 1 - 2011 - Geel v StK - Friday night game
Talk about dour 2 goals to 1 at h/t 4 goals a piece at 3qtr time - and 6 goals each at the final siren
Geel have been generally shocking to watch the last few years because of the slow chip around method - only rivalled by the Hawks with some of their games at York Park
Honestly those Haw games at York Park - are worse and more cringeworthy than the Elvis movies of the 1950s
Oh god, don't remind me of that abomination, 2020 was pretty much the worst year of footy ever (even if my team did well that season) and I really damn hope shorter quarters never come into existence again, especially after some of the pathetic scorelines that were dished up during that year.I think it was Richmond v Collingwood, round 3 2020.
The first game back after the Covid break. A 36 all draw would make for an rousing NFL match or an exciting and absorbing NRL match or an eye-poppingly mind-blowingly astonishing EPL match, but it makes for an incredibly dull AFL game.
I believe you would be referring to Rd 8 2007. There was a passage of play so farcical that when Hawthorn kicked a goal at the end of it the crowd laughed.That hawthorn/st.kilda game at the G many years ago, I just remember the entire crowd booing at half time due to the piss poor standard of footy

Any Carlton v Richmond round 1 game over the last few years have been horrible games.
I predict that the choice of WB v Melb playing round 1 2022 will also be a stinker. Both teams have had the longest break since playing the GF; where they will be 5 weeks behind the rest of the comp. Don't expect a classic.
That one was ludicrous in itās terribleness. If I remember rightly we won but it didnāt make me happy. EmbarrassingSome terrible demon losses over the years but in terms of pure terrible spectacle:
Round 16 2015. July.
Eventual 13th placed Melbourne are in the second year of Roos-ball. Simple boring defensive footy trying to rebuild a club.
Brisbane were on the path to finish 17th in year 2 of Leppa having absolutely nothing to work with.
Melbourne jumped out to a 5 goal to 1 quarter time lead and played pretty well.
From then on Melbourne kicked 3 goal 8 behinds in the next 3 quarters.
Brisbane kicked 3 goals, 10 behinds in the next 3 quarters.
Just completely slop fest.
That first half was up there from both teams, at one stage there was at least 10 behinds between them for 3 or 4 goals by half timeSaints Vs North Good Friday is probably the worst display of professional football you will ever see

Hawthorn vs Melb (or was it st kilda) out at waverly in about 2000 the two teams had scored 4 goals by half time. It was the beginning of total defense by Clarkson. Even Chance Bateman in the after game interview said it would have been pretty awful to watch and it was. First time I saw people leave at half time in droves.
