I couldn't agree more
I loved the idea of AFL but the reality is the SANFL, WAFL and VFL were better for football
I know the AFL has to move forward, but is the game getting better? The last 20 years have seen an organization trying desperately to fix something that really wasn't all that broken and all they appeared to have done is ended up breaking it themselves. The constant rule changes eat away at the fabric of the game, an MRO that is over sanitising the whole competition and the media make mountains out of molehills with booing. The fans are booing out of frustration more than anything else. Football has become very confusing not just for the fans, but the players don't know what to do anymore let alone the coaches? To spoil or not to spoil, that is the question. Tackling is just about on its last legs and the bump is pretty much dead, what game have we got right now?
80s and 90s was great football. The growing era of professionalism but before footballers started being replaced by athletes.
Even the early 2000s I loved watching Brisbane play. Their style was so tough, so skillful and so uncompromising.
Obviously our 3-peat but that is just recency and being a supporter.
The 1989 grand final was true football.
Id love to know the name of that trainLoved the 80's not just because we dominated.
The train trip home from VFL Park.
GREAT DAYS.
My first game of footy i watched (that i have memory of) was the 1990 SANFL GF, and it was huge! 47k at footy park, i was 7.. didnt barrack for anyone back then, Dad is a sturt fan so he didnt care for port but my grandfather was a port fan and he passed away 2 weeks after the 1990 GF.. so i remember watching it with him.. and that day i became a Scott Hodges fan. 3 months later the Crows were in full swing and i had the number 17 on my back. wasnt enough to make me a port fan.. Dad brainwashed me (thank god) from that year so i was a crows die hard and a sturt fan from 7/8 yrs old. nothing comes close to footy in the 90s.. even the SANFL was elite between the years of 91-98ish. I will always love footy and barrack and love the crows hoping to see another flag one day but its not the same.. i enjoy less.. sometimes feels like a chore and the crows/port rivalry is extreme now where for me its not fun.. winning is everything and losing isn't an option.I couldn't agree more

No competition that had mid 90s Sturt playing in it can be called elite.My first game of footy i watched (that i have memory of) was the 1990 SANFL GF, and it was huge! 47k at footy park, i was 7.. didnt barrack for anyone back then, Dad is a sturt fan so he didnt care for port but my grandfather was a port fan and he passed away 2 weeks after the 1990 GF.. so i remember watching it with him.. and that day i became a Scott Hodges fan. 3 months later the Crows were in full swing and i had the number 17 on my back. wasnt enough to make me a port fan..

well the AFL had Fitzroy playing in it.. every comp has a cellar dweller...No competition that had mid 90s Sturt playing in it can be called elite.
I remember not hearing from the coach. Shame. He had a big year and would have been niceSerioulsly tho:
2021-2021 is the best!!
This correlates with my preferred eras.I was a kid in the 70s, it was fun and suburban, it was real footy. Then came the great 80s which probably saw a peak and the 90s were sensational. Australian Rules Football was magnificent. I'm not sure what game they're playing these days.
