Is this the worst season of AFL in many a long while?

[SBD Gonzalez]

It's been a pretty damn good season

It'll be even better when Sydney loses

I’m not sure irrational hatred has quite the same appeal to others that it clearly does to you. Has it ever occurred to you that your endless prattle about Sydney is actually quite dull to everyone else?

Something obviously bothers you to keep referencing my amazing self. Chuck me or anyone else on ignore if you don't like negative commentary about your team.

Of course the Geelong player was able to deal with one player being a witches hat, but a Richmond player didn't need help with dealing with the pressure of a player manning the mark.

Seems the Richmond players needed help with every other aspect of the sport based on how they’ve handled it since

“I’m not obsessed, YOU’RE obsessed!”

LOL.

The point is, “commentary” is way too flattering a term for your strange and repetitive public wish-seeking.

I really hope you don’t have 3 kids, I kinda hope you don’t have any.

why? you wish he didn't have kids because they think your football team is a boring/bad/whatever???? lol wtf

Why the hell did this thread get divvied once it actually started to become true? This is the worst preliminary final weekend in many a long while. If we get an upset result we'll get a 119ing in the grand final.

would it be better if hawthorn didn't choke?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Instead we get Wish.com finals. Geelong vs. Brisbane and Sydney vs. Port.. Awesome....

Normal, non-bizarre footy fans find both of those prospects very enticing.

SCG already sold out.

There’ll be a big crowd at the MCG.

But that’s not good enough for you with your quaint nostalgia for opposing pages of the Melways locked in mortal combat like it’s 1922.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Sydney vs. Port, Geelong vs. Brisbane and the ensuing GF matchups, Snore-Fest. The year has wrapped up at this point, seems irrelevant tbh.

Do explain your methodology.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

It's bog average because there's no stand out teams.

So all four teams a genuine chance.

Isn’t that what we want?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I've had way more than that but I get banned a lot for no reason.

And you know what’s really weird about that is that most of us don’t ever get banned.

Hey everyone. There is a good reason why Mr. A.Pickett was voted flog of the year in 2023 on the bay. With voting for foty 2024 fast approaching you may want to show your disagreement of this thread by voting for him, be on the lookout for the thread after the conclusion of the AFL season.

Unfortunately for Richmond supporters 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 are also going to feel like the worst seasons for a long time

You've promised us all a Carltank flag 3 years in a row now, how's that working out for you Mr 30 years of failure?

Why still target him when he's copped his whack last year? Elmer_Hauser should be your target this year after his disgraceful Darren Mliane rant and Degoey injury troll I think he's a much bigger priority this year.

Some very flogworthy moments but he's an easy target when drunkmelting. The real mvp's do it naturally.

Spot on.

100% agree.

Not really sure why this is a controversial take. Here are some possible prelim match up story lines we could have had when finals started:

• Swans vs. Hawthorn (GF Rematch, Great Rivalry)
• Sydney vs. Geelong (GF rematch)
• Bulldogs vs. Sydney (GF rematch)
• Bulldogs vs. GWS (Prelim Rematch, Great Rivalry)
• Carlton vs. Anyone (2023 Prelim Loss)
• GWS vs. Anyone (2023 Prelim Loss)

Not to mention, the results for this year for these teams:

• Round 6 - Geelong vs. Brisbane: Brisbane kicked 37 points and lost by 5 goals.
• Round 21 - Sydney vs. Port: Sydney kicked 36 points and lost by 112.

Very, very little going for these Prelim match ups.

We were robbed of a Geelong v Hawthorn grand final as well had Hawthorn, not Port won last Friday

The Brisbane vs Geelong game was played in monsoonal conditions in Brisbane

OP made this thread just to see how many times he could be called a salty, biased moron.

I'm not falling for it.

I am. OP is a salty, biased moron

Aristotle Pickett is wrong in this front too:


Record number of memberships this season for the AFL , 1 in 20 Aussies have a membership, only
Melbourne, Kangaroos, Eagles, Essendon and Richmond were the clubs that didn't break a record this season.

Record attendances for home and away season.

The Port v Cats game was the highest attended final ever for Port, the elimination final was a record for an elimination final and the Swans v Giants game was the third highest attended final ever at the SCG.

Yeah, but only until 3/4 time

 

[frggr]

hey, remember "if it bleeds we can kill it," as long as you take the iv at half time , I still remember Essendon players protesting that shit.

Hawthorn and Geelong were near the top when drafts were compromised, but yeah, if I was a Hawthorn or Geelong supporter I'd like to believe we would've won those flags even if they weren't.

Just be honest like me, look, if Richmond weren't allowed to vigoursly man the mark against Geelong from '17 to '20 you guys would have 3 more flags.

Hocking admitted when he was trying to justify a f**king 50 metre penalty for someone making the slightest movement on the mark, he said: "There has to be a reasonable size penalty. One of the things we’ve got to remember around the introduction of this rule is the delay and the pressure that comes from a guy standing on the mark."

So do you remember the delay and pressure that a Geelong player felt when Richmond used to man the mark?

Our pressure based system took a hit when we couldn't delay and pressure the sh*t teams anymore, making it possible for sh*t teams to win flags, and that's the reason I wouldn't count out Carlton or Essendon winning the flag next season.

Holy shit Geelong's continued dominance has destroyed Richmond supporters

 

[frggr]

This years GF winning team will not be remembered in the all time great teams, because the league at present isn't much chop.

Going got get worse with a new entering the comp.

That's obvious from the fact Carlton made finals
