You Am I posted:I don't know why you lot are so negative when the best team in the AFL, Geelong, is still in the Finals. There should be happiness and joy at this fact. Bunch of sourpusses in this thread, tut tut I think Geelong is the least worst option left now. Somehow Collingwood is the second least worst which I never thought would happen.

Yeah I think GWS sans Toby is the only one I'd actually be ok with winning it. The only way this loving final 4 could be worse is if Hawthorn were in it. I hope Toby Greene gets his eyes gouged starting poo poo with a bikie or something and misses the Final if they make it.

Imagine if all of these practitioners of shithousery had stayed at Carlton and the Baggers were in this spot instead of GWS, they would easily be the most-hated club in the league.

realbez posted:What else is there to care about, really? Exactly, matches need context, otherwise the Bulldogs winning 2016 would be as meaningful as Hawthorn in 2015. BWS being a pack of jerks makes them an interesting club now, because of their history of being smug turds.

Just care about teams because they're from your location or you like some of the players, or don't, IMO.

Chairchucker posted:Just care about teams because they're from your location or you like some of the players, or don't, IMO. Nah, we care about teams, (whether positive or negative), due to how they make, or made us feel. Some of that is players you like/hate, (BOO Toby Greene, YAY Eddie Betts etc.), but a lot of it is history. Albeit personal history, but history nevertheless. A personal example, One of the reasons I hate Essendon is because of a match about 15 years ago where there was an incident between me and the friend I was with, and some of her Essendon supporting friends. In my mind I will always associate the memories of the incident, and with Essendon. So I dislike them more than usual. So a lot of the reasons people feel any way about a club are due to peoples personal feelings and history with that club. And it is good that GWS are building this personal relationship/history with the football world in general.

That makes pretty much all sport far less interesting with that reductive perspective to be honest. It takes the romance and narrative out of sport, being a Freo supporter knowing that we’ve perennially struggled to perform well, when we do make that eventual (fingers crossed) GF win it will be all the more sweeter. After all, footy is just another form of entertainment, and with the long histories of the sport/clubs, it makes following it all the more richer for the supporters. And the histories and stories of clubs is even more important at the amateur level, it keeps people and clubs together through the tough times and makes the good times all the more enjoyable.

Are the AFL poo poo? Yes. Are the AFL overly Victorian, and "big Victorian club" focused, often to the detriment of the other clubs? Hell yes. But is there a conspiracy? I highly doubt it.

I was explaining this to a non-sport supporter the other year, following sport is just another form of human drama. A tv show might have a few good seasons then the writers run out of ideas, but sport has its own storylines there for whoever wants to follow it. Sometimes it's rewarding (like when your team does well) and sometimes it isn't, but then it's up to you if you want to focus in on smaller stories, like tracking the development of your favourite players.

I can’t help but imagine how many weeks Sicily would have gotten for either incident. He’d be suspended until round 15 at least.

Consider labelling theory guys, we keep calling Toby a thug and now he believes it. He believes he can’t be anything else and we have trapped him in a perpetual cycle of violence. We are the real monsters after all! ....says Leon Cameron, probably.
