AFL 2025
-
Didn't watch a minute of football this weekend, but based purely on result and social media chat:
Good
The Sunnies winning in Melbourne is just another little hump for them to get over.
Saints winning a game they should win
Hawthorn 4-0 and beating a premiership rival
The Lions are not playing great footy but are 3-0
Adelaide are flying, and suddenly them hosting the Suns is game of the roundBad
Carlton are 0-3 despite leading for the mojority of each of those games. Talkback lines in Melbourne are hilarious.
Its fallen apart at Port Adelaide.
It has worse than fallen apart at Melbourne, this is a full-blown disaster.
Richmond beating Carlton seems a long time ago already. -

Saints have officially left the VFL sphere and entered the AFL realm. We actually have a gameplan between defensive 50 and forward 50 lines.

Fuck the Swans.
I'm highjacking #crowsdidntlose
Fully expect us to finish 13th...

should be rocking at the G tonight, two clubs who hate each other. Carlton desperate for a win.

I hate them less than I hate Carlton

The AFL season is far more interesting when one of the big supporter clubs is under pressure like Carlton are now. All the experts dissect and over analyse. Commentators and journos try to out hot take each other. The drama is hilarious, but opposition fans who love to hate said big club, just eat it up and the machine feeds itself (hence why there are so many AFL shows on the TV it’s not even funny).

why do the AFL keep giving this dogshit club primetime games every week? They've won twice since the middle of last year, against the two worst teams in the AFL. Fuck them off to the twilight sunday fixture already.
OK, i was a little harsh on Collingwood, their experienced champs are still really fucking good, and they have a couple of ridiculously damaging young talents. Pendlebury was too smart for Carlton last night, played the conditions perfectly.

Contest looked good until the toothless brigade woke up in the third quarter.

funniest comment i have seen so far:
Is Michael Voss going to lose his job?
He'll probably lose the 2nd half of it -

That’s why it’s even better with Carlton because their fans in large part think they are good because of their history. Thousands spend their hard earned on memberships year after year so financially they do alright and they get the crowds (hence the prime time slots), but they are rubbish.

thats the dream for a successful comp....people love their club enough to buy memberships...regardless of the results

Of all the sports in Aussie, the AFL tribalism is without peer.

It definitely looks like Carlton and Melbourne are set up to win the last war
