Exciting teams

[swansrule100]

given the talk of the swans boring game plan, who do people think are the most exciting and entertaining teams in the league??


i enjoy watching melbourne play and brisbane are obviously good to watch.

Not too many really exciting teams these days, as the style and quality of footbal isn't great.

Brisbane are good and St Kilda can be pretty good.

A number of sides produce exciting football in patches, but let themselves down through skill errors.

In terms of short kicking around the ground and forcing stoppages we are the worst. This is more of a deliberate game plan for us than anything else, although skill errors don't help.

A number of other sides use the short kicking, which can be quite dull, such as Port and on occasion Essendon, however there's tends to be more purposeful and they also have less stoppages.

It's not like we're not capable of playing an entertaining game, we were one of the best teams to watch in 2003, but gradually over time we have adopted this new style and use it more and more.

so u dont think any team is exciting?


i think the ground and the crowd have a lot to do with giving a game an extra say 5- 10% excitement, especially when watching it on tv

It varies from game to game. Possession football and flooding make for a much less interesting game.

[swansrule100]

probably why its good watching classic quarters on fox footy and seeing some long kicking and so forth

The videos 'Sensational Seventies', 'Exciting Eighties' (or something else beginning with E) and 'Not too bad Nineties' (or whatever) are really worth getting.

90s decade that delivered?? ive got that on dvd and others on video

not a lot of swans moments but i always enjoy watching them.

Also have an old one sevens magic moments made in about 1987, full of punches and fights, like that reserves collingwood player pushing the umpire over...

St Kilda are often good to watch. The best game I watched last year was Brisbane v St Kilda at Telstra Dome on a Sat night (the Swans had played in Melb on Sat arvo).

I enjoy watching Port play because I always have a team to support - the team playing Port.
