There's something about Zorko which makes him a really unappealing bloke... might be a great fella but comes across as a 1st rate knob!

I dont care how many goals are kicked. Without a crowd the game is soulless.
The fake crowd noise for AFL doesn't work. AFL is unpredictable unlike soccer or Rugby.
The games shouldnt be played till crowds over 10000 could turn up.
Switched off after half time last night, after realising that the half time break was longer.
They have introduced longer breaks between goals...wrong
Longer qtr & 3rd qtr breaks...wrong
Then made the half time break even longer...wrong
But they have shorten the game...wrong

I agree with most of this but I reckon they did need to re-start the season. There are financial issues and a fair number of vulnerable clubs. We played through both wars and with only 4 teams in 1916.

It really is not the same without the crowd, they were saying as much on 3LO this morning.

The longer breaks are ridiculous. What was the proposal just a few months ago? Oh, that's right, shorter half time 'cos millenials have no attention span apparently. Have these nongs ever watched a gridiron game, they take a few days to get through one game. The longer breaks are only there to fit in more ads.

The shorter quarters are understandable in the context that we might have had a hub and games closer together. I can see the logic of consistency for the rest of this season although I reckon it is a crock.

Let's hope it is back to normal next year, and we get some crowds in by August.

Freo were robbed. They had some horrible calls against them.
Can just see Brisbane being the media darlings this year and it will probably rub off on the umpires. Much like the lead up to our final against them last year.

Wonder what the market is on Charlie Cameron winning the most free kicks in the comp this year?

Well he'd have to push Dangerfield or Selwood off the podium. .... might be the only one he gets paid against him for the year!
 
That will really *smile* me if he doesn’t get at least a week. That was an extremely dangerous tackle with potential for serious injury. If he doesn’t get a week at least then it will be proof that the AFL is not serious about protecting players from head injuries and concussion; it is merely paying lip service to the issue.

If it was Soldo I’d guarantee suspension.

yeah it was shocking tackle and he only started it after the ball was long gone - reckon it’s 2 down to one.
 
As much as I hate Carlton it would be hillarious is they beat the #godeez.

The media would ravage the godeez and the Blues would actually think they are on the climb until; they get slapped back into reality.

A loss today would just about commence the end of Melbournes season :mhihi

Agreed on Brisbane.

A couple of teams have had a favourable draw given and are media darlings for sure.

Geesook and Brisbane , at the G we will end both of them and that G as last year includes the Gabba.

Graigy my Dear.
If we keep coping GWS in Sydney and Geelong in Geelong.
We might not even get a chance to play them on the G.
Teague is as bad a doofus

I don’t think Teague’s got much more idea than Bolton, but they are a broken club. You have to get the off field right before the on field gets better. We’re a great example of that. Carlton have got a long way to go on every facet.
