Almost walked out of the Saints v bulldogs game last week in qtr3 because of this dross.
Can barely be bothered watching this crap tonight.
Losing interest in football at a rapid pace I'm afraid.
Really not what i loved about football this flooding defensive chip chip chip crappola.
if I want to see uncontested possessions in the back half I'll go and watch the Victory.
Game id dying at the top level IMHO.
So this is modern day football?

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I said earlier in the season I support st kilda, I dont enjoy AFL any more.
in between the politics, dimwit etc, and the way some teams play Im just there for the saints.
I used to love every game and pour over the stats etc, now its pretty much st kilda or nothing.

Unfortunaely St.Kilda are part of the problem. This flooding, especially the equally appalling Sydney Swans uberflooders and the game has just lost its appeal.Dan Warna wrote: I used to love every game and pour over the stats etc, now its pretty much st kilda or nothing.
Can bearly get interested ATM.
Am really more interested in watching Geelong or Port or the WCE. At least they attack and play football properly.
Really this is taking all the enjoyment out of the game.

Some matches are still well worth watching: the Tiges vs the Filth last night for instance, in which both teams played an attacking, free-flowing brand of football (the only drawback was that, because neither team is much good, the match abounded in skill errors. But it was entertaining to watch.)
Last week's Freo vs WCE was great fun as well.
Tonight's game isn't helped by the unusual shape of the ground and the shocking playing surface (it looks really uneven: some bits are firm and fast and other bits - especially the forward 50s on both sides - are like a quagmire).
The Swans have been the dullest, dirtiest and ugliest team in the AFL. What I particularly hate is how many deliberate illegal acts they commit, working on the law of averages that the umps aren't going to play them all as free kicks.
Why our board ever saw the Swans as setting the benchmark to which we wished to aspire, I'll never know. It isn't much fun watching Lyon trying to emulate them: which, despite the constant denials, he undoubtedly is doing.
That said, we are a much more attacking and entertaining team than the Swans. Our execution has, as it so often does, let us down again tonight.

well we are a team ful of talent and play the same way.
Really really dissapointed in the way our gameplan is panning out this season.
gave it the benefit of the doubt when we were chock full of injuries, but to play this type of game (make no mistake we are flooding just as much as Sydney) with what we have on the park is boring and appalling.
I understand Lyons job is to win football matches, no matter how. But if it bore the s.hite out of me, I will look for alternatives for my hard earned and my inceasingly less liesure time.
this game is boring crap and it is not just Sydneys fault.

I just found that game and last week so frustrating to watch.
Would be interested to hear what neutral people felt.
I suspect their only interest would be in the closeness of the scores ?

Seriously, it's hard to swallow why we play like this - especially when we used to move the ball so hard and fast in 2003-5.
Why we played the mega flood when we needed to take a risk and go man-on-man in the last quarter is just beyond me.
Everton 1 - 0 Wigan at the 65' mark. Quite engrossing compared to the fare at Homebush, sadly.
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
