Opinion Teams you actively avoid watching?

[Roobs321]

The last time I recall enjoying the Saints was that first Scott Watters year in 2012. Tended to ignore them ever since. If they play the handful of clubs I’m not keen on and it isn’t a significant game then meh. Therefore there is a whole Saints generation I’ve only seen fleeting glimpses of.

What about this weekend?

Good call, this would be one of the very few times I want to watch a game involving NM.
NM, WB & StK I have zero interest in.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Maybe. I guess its just too disheartening watching goals against every couple of seconds.

The signature NM action atm is Wardlaw doing something brilliant, spinning out of trouble then getting caught HTB

I like Comben and Biggy down back, think all the pieces are there now and it's just a matter of getting games into them all, say around 60-70

Geelong, essendon.
Not rivalry related, but media related.

The media refuse to say a negative word about them

Is this a serious post?

 

[situationz]

Saints and Freo.
Ross Lyon's team and Ross Lyon's former team - that says enough.

 

[Cleansweep17]

I never end up watching

Freo

GC

North

WC

For some reason unless they play us

 

[Cmarsh]

Not so much team specific but any MCG day game played in sunshine. The ball moving in and out of the shadows of the stands makes it hard to see the ball.

 

[MKMatty]

Carlton, St Kilda & Essendon. There was a period of time when I was 15-17 and I'd come home from Hockey on a Friday night and they'd be on TV without fail. Since then I've never really wanted to tune in to any of their games.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

If Collingwood or Essendon were playing in my own backyard i'd draw the curtains.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Port Adelaide, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond.

The latter 3 because of their attitude to the clash strips, which makes their games when they're away nearly unwatchable.
Port Adelaide because that stupid back panel makes almost all their games unwatchable. Cool, dark front, but lgiht back, clashes with nearly everyone.

 

[Gunf]

Any team coached by Ross Lyon

Freo until they learn to play scoring football

Every other side can be entertaining to watch every now and again at least.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Definitely North. I only really watch them if we're playing them.

Gold Coast and GWS to a lesser extent.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I watched Freo vs West Coast last night.

Even if the weather was perfect in Brisbane that probably would have remained the same.

 

[Dazb86]

Dont watch - Port, Adelaide, West Coast, Fremantle, Sydney, GWS, Gold Coast, North, St Kilda, Hawthorn

I know heck all about other sides tbh.

May also be due the fact that the Vic commentators tend to constantly blow their load over the side whenever they play

Related point, I hate watching games in WA. I don't mind the clubs, but the commentary is atrocious.

Biased commentary and the constant reminders of any visiting players links to WA ( "Fred Blog's 2nd cousin lives in Albany, and when Joe Smith visited as a 3 year old kid, he saw a football in the street which surely inspired his playing career...").

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I watch a lot of games but the teams that are unwatchable are -
North
West Coast
Hawthorn (although it’s good seeing them so s**t)
Freo
Sydney at the SCG

All of the above is just horrific viewing

The funny thing about commentary in WA games is both sets of supporters hate whoever played for their own team because they think they try too hard to be unbiased, whilst accusing the other of cheerleading for their team, so they're actually probably ok.

Freo/WCE usually get the Sunday twilight game as well, so often it's the dregs of the commentators that end up on the game.

 

[t_94]

West Coast.

 

[bluespooner]

For whatever reason, there are a number of teams that most people simply won't watch.

I watch most games every weekend but generally avoid games involving the below 3, unless it includes my own team:

Geelong
WB
Saints

It may seem like a bit of a weird combination but hear me out:

Geelong - I simply hate their kit. I personally find the hoops atrocious and it irrationally annoys the s**t out of me. May also be due the fact that the Vic commentators tend to constantly blow their load over the side whenever they play and I've simply associated their kit with this, through no fault of its own. Otherwise, they actually play good footy and are a good team to watch, so it's not anything football related for me.

East Fremantle regularly play in hoops so going by your logic you must also get triggered when you watch them as well.

Nah, there's no guilt by association

 

[evo]

As a supercoach addict you end up watching most games.

Teams I least enjoy watching are Sydney, Geelong and Brisbane.

Like to watch Gold Coast, GWS, Melbourne and Saints.

 

[branedotorg]

Freo
North
WC (somehow watched the last two games though and they were great)
Essendon if they're winning

 

[skinnyP]

Usually the dees. They're a good team but painful to watch.

 

[rapidfire7]

Probably a boring answer, but teams near the bottom of the ladder are the teams I usually avoid watching.

The Hawks, Kangaroos and Eagles are the teams I probably avoid the most, although the Eagles look to have finally found some spark and are playing some really exciting footy of late. For the sake of the competition,.let's hope they can keep it up!

Honourable motion goes to Fremantle, who although are not a cellar dweller by any means, just don't score many goals and have an overall uninspiring game plan in my view.

What specifically is it about them?
