    Unpopular takes

    A safe space to get off your chest what you think would be "Unpopular Takes" either on woof or in the real world.

    I'll start,

    1) I really like listening to The Tradies podcast of Sam McClure and Mitch Cleary discussing all things trades, historical looks at how certain big trades or contract signings went down.

    2) I like hearing what Kane Cornes has to say - I don't always agree but like listening

    3) David King is the best analyst in the game
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I sometimes leave before the end.

    I can't handle traffic anymore.

    Phew... There's a load off!

      You're better than me. I love Friday night footy when we play, sit on the coach, heater on, 6er in the fridge. I'm starting to like that more than actually going, not that I can anyway. Friday is basketball night and enjoy watching my son play more than anything.

        I actually hate Friday night home games.

        I go but gee, by the end of the week I'm ready to put the feet up...

          It's definitely lost its magic going to the footy

                  Agree hard with #2. Cornes is reasonable, backs up what he says, changes his mind or backs down when he's proven wrong, and it's very, very easy to see when he's being 'sensationalist'.

                  I don't fully agree with #3 but I like Kingy and he says smart stuff.

                    Re: Unpopular takes

                    1. I hate the lights flickering around the boundary, the loud PA with games at half time, Music at the footy - especially Marvel - really spoils the night.

                    2. Sick of negative supporters - they are now bigger whinges than Essendon supporters (maybe not) We make finals every year and they sook. Come back to the early 80s and see how much fun that was (not)

                    3. MSM - it is out of hand now.

                      Re the op my unpopular take would be Buku he's lucky to be on a vfl list.
                      Charlie Clarke, how was he so high in the draft.
                      I don't think Bont is a great kick.
                      West hasn't earned his arrogance.

                        I have the same guilty pleasure.

                        Mine is that I actually don't mind a lot of Caro's takes and think Gerard Healy tends to be pretty complimentary in the way he commentates Dogs games.

                              Totally subjective and I know many will disagree and its okay.

                              1. Keith Richards is a very overrated guitar player.

                              2. Gerard Whately is seen as some sorta sporting oracle.. when I think he's just a 'Tankstander'. one of those who I doubt could play and would've been shouting out from the sidelines with all sorts of expert view on what should be done.

                              3.I think Mel Jones and Callum Ferguson are much better cricket commentators than most who call the play on TV these days.
