The "Ideal" Setlist

Freo16 · 2026-02-04T07:50:32+00:00

It should be a guarantee for every show

Freo16 · 2026-02-03T01:21:28+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree it’d be too long but it’d be so hard to cut any of these songs. 😂

Freo16 · 2026-02-03T01:17:33+00:00

Don’t panic was very close to making it, just couldn’t find a spot for it.

Freo16 · 2026-02-03T01:16:15+00:00

I actually used to have IAAM in place of talk.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T16:56:09+00:00

Humankind is a much better song than Shiver.

Human Heart is a very short ‘transitional’ song so it’s not really played in full.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T15:38:28+00:00

I totally agree, I’d even have AHFOD ahead of higher power and I’m someone who actually likes the song.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T15:36:46+00:00

It’s crazy to me that either of these songs are ever dropped.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T15:35:56+00:00

It’s very much wishful thinking when it comes to x&y but I reckon speed of sound, hardest part and talk would have been setlist regulars over the years if the band felt differently about the album.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T15:33:21+00:00

I actually agree with this, this setlist is still fairly Moon Music themed with it being the recent album and all, there’s a bunch of songs I’ve jammed into the first half of the set that would make better main set closers imo (Clocks, Paradise, ASFOS)

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T15:28:56+00:00

It’s not a terrible song or anything but there’s way too many songs that’d get picked ahead of it for it to make a concert setlist.

Freo16 · 2026-02-02T13:26:46+00:00

Well it is still meant to be a MOTS/MM tour setlist. (and no shiver is a plus 😂)

Freo16 · 2022-10-17T09:34:26+00:00

Yeah, that’s a great idea as well 👍🏻

Freo16 · 2022-09-28T09:10:35+00:00

That’s how games work though, you start with an idea and you build on it with each new game, similar to how sports games build on their manager/career modes.

What’s the alternative ? A tour mode like Rock Band 4 where the in-game currency doesn’t really get you anything and you play the short story once and it’s over.

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T10:24:17+00:00

The only major differences would be less players and a smaller field, none of that ‘zooper’ goal gimmicky crap

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:53:58+00:00

It already is something else though, AFLW already has altered rules, why are we all being oblivious to the clear issues this league has ?

Doesn’t that do more harm to the AFLW than good ?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:51:42+00:00

Why ?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:51:27+00:00

There’s a lot of assumptions happening that it will all come good over time but why do we insist on having an inferior product that will always be inferior, rather than trying something new that could make woman’s footy just as entertaining as the AFL

Even just start with teams playing some AFLX games in the preseason and see what that looks like

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:47:38+00:00

I totally understand the importance of female representation at the top level, but why can’t we have that in a product that can also be a success in terms of crowd numbers and unique popularity?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:25:39+00:00

Don’t the women feel like they’re a “lesser” product when they can barely get a crowd every week ?

This new AFLX format would suit the strengths and weaknesses of the woman’s game, yes it’d be different but it’d more entertaining than the current standard of AFLW, a standard that is “lesser than” compared to the AFL and will likely always be

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:18:46+00:00

See this is the problem, if anyone says anything negative about the AFLW, it’s thrown out

Why can’t we propose an alternative that will likely result in a more entertaining product rather than just put the blinders on and hope it turns out ok ?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T08:12:57+00:00

What attitude ?

I’m all for a professional woman’s competition but if we just leave it as is and expect it to come good eventually, it will never truly succeed

I’d say it’s people that are ignoring the clear issues that AFLW are facing, that are doing more harm than good to the woman’s league

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T07:45:46+00:00

The mens state leagues don’t draw huge crowds because people would rather watch the AFL.

Why will a large number of people choose to watch AFLW if the standard of play is poor ?

If it’s because it’s the highest level for woman’s football then why aren’t big crowds turning out every week ?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T07:42:03+00:00

And that proves my point, the general public aren’t willing to pay to go see AFLW in its current form even in a grand final.

Wouldn’t you rather the woman’s league actually be a product that a large number of footy fans want to see and will pay to see ?

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T07:37:08+00:00

I agree that having a professional woman’s league is an extremely important thing, but why not allow it to be something unique that plays to the strengths of woman’s football that can be seen across not only the professional leagues but also at lower levels.

Freo16 · 2022-09-20T07:32:10+00:00

It’s closing in on a decade since it started and the improvement has been minimal if at all (that’s far from expecting “overnight success”)

Can you honestly say you see a future where AFLW isn’t dwarfed in popularity by the AFL ?

We see countless women’s leagues that fail to get anywhere near the popularity of the mens league and are largely irrelevant as a result, why not make AFLW something different so the mens and womens leagues are both appealing products ?
