which side is the most boringest side to watch?

[Booney]

I find it hard to say any club is boring to watch, but there are a couple who have game plans that are less attractive than others.

There is not doubt Adelaide do not play a very attractive style and this may have more to do with the fact they are not as flexible with the style they play, one thing I think the coach constantly says he is working on,but when will we see it? Sydney are similar and dont play with alot of flair and at times I cant say it is boring but more frustrating than anything else is the way Port play.

The modern game changes so quickly. Not long ago the term 'flooding' was the 'in' word and for mine how different is 'flooding' to the 'zone' type defence we are currently seeing? Same wolf in different clothes for mine. 18 man zone defence when defending a kick in,are you not 'flooding' your own forward half?

Adelaide
Sydney
Melbourne

Not sure how you can put down Melbourne as a boring side to watch. It's like a bag of mixed lollies, they don't know where the ball is going so that means we've got no chance. Against the Hawks they had a crack but regularly missed targets by a fair margin.

I only put Melbourne as boring to watch as when the first siren is blown you know what the result will be. A Melbourne loss. The next 2 and a 1/2 hours is time enough to decide how much the opposition win by,nothing more.

[Dutchy]

still cant believe WCE havent got a vote! statisically they only marginally had a better season than Melbourne

[HH3]

I think its because when people think of WCE they think of the glory days a few years back. Nobody pays attention to them anymore.

Yeah thats right .

One bad year and no one watches them or pays attention to them, I don't think that is how it works.

Two bad years. Melbournes only been really bad for two years and everyones on there back. They werent that great back then either but there were worse teams.

2007- WCE one kick away from a preliminary final with an injury depleted squad. Hardly what i would call a bad year.

2006- Premiers

2005- Runners Up.

Am i missing something?

Fair enough. I thought they had a crap 2007. Like i said, dont really pay attention to them.

WC have been one of those teams I've generally always found boring, they're not of course, but I think it's something broken in my head that stems back to their earliest days, just always found them boring for some reason (obviously excluding the likes of Judd).

Teams like Brissy, Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood and Carlton have always had a bit of "personality" about them IMHO, unlike the robotic methodical Adelaide and WC types.

No doubt that was a common opinion given the game plan that the Eagles revolved around in the early nineties. Tough, hard one on one football which dished up more low scores than free flowing running high scoring games. But personally i found the style of game quite intriguing, battles between the likes of Jakovich and Carey with support from the likes of Worsfold, Hart, Waterman, McKenna, Pyke, Brennan and McIntosh.

I honestly dont think they are boring at present. In fact they have a very exciting young squad and i think people will see that sooner rather than later.

Im quite confident that you're right on both fronts Pup, like I said it's just something I've not been able to move with the times on when it comes to ur mob ... I was the same with the Hawks of the 80's, for some reason couldn't get into them, but nowadays I luv watching re-runs of their footy from back then.

Funny thing is, the type of footy I admire most these days is the type your mob played back in the early 90's.

[hearts on fire]

I think it's fairly tight between Adelaide, Sydney and North Melbourne for the most boringest sides......

but i have voted for North Melbourne.

your thoughts?

I look forward to a detailed reason why you would say this....

i just don't find their style of football entertaining, very scrappy and boring to watch.

is that detailed enough?

Nup...specifics please...who are the players that cause this boring footy?

Campbell and Thomas were the most exciting small forwards (bar Rioli) in the comp last year

sorry about late reply.

I don't find all their players boring, but it's more along the lines of what CP said "I think it's something broken in my head that stems back to their earliest days, just always found them boring for some reason".

The players i do find boring are: Michael Firrito, Josh Gibson, Hamish McIntosh, Corey Jones...... to name a few.

[Pup]

Of course.

Spud and Gibson are stoppers so they are hardly going to entertain the general fan like players like Judd, Cousins, Ablett and co.

Corey Jones is far from boring IMO, he gives you a bit of everything, marks, brilliant goals to horrible shanks, he really keeps you guessing.

Not having a crack at you HOF either by the way.

[Jimmy_041]

There ya go - all fixed - WCE on the board although they are marginally better than Freo

[hearts on fire]

Of course.

yeah, no worries mate.

they are the players that i think are boring..... like i said, it's not really the players..... it's more of a thing i have had ever since i have started watching the Roos, i have always found them boring.

[Dutchy]

LMAO just realised who you follow!

no wonder you dont like the Roos, you dont like losing do you!

not quite...... but i like watching the 2007 Preliminary Final......

[HH3]

Firrito and Gibson are two of my favourite players to watch. I even TRY to take note of what Gibson does to improve my own defensive game.

Keeping Buddy Franklin possessionless for 3 qtrs is a pretty good effort. Was the week before the 2007 Prelim...

[jointman]

Gotta tell ya - I went to Adelaide v Essendon at Footy Park last year and it was absolute $hite - lucky it was free or I would have demanded my $$$$$$$$ back

The Birdman was a B grade player but got in the best players

The AFL is going to the chook farm - it is no longer the elite level of Aussie Rules

And I am quite happy to debate that with anyone from the AFL Commission

the birdman????...i reckon his prob the best to watch.....i'm not a crows man but least he takes a hanger and is worth watching....apart from him there boring as
