Be warned.
Coming off The Whispering Death run up. (Michael Holding for the young 'uns)
Ok, shame on you Afl.
Media.
Tv stations.
News services.
Sport services.
Ad breaks.
*smile* Tel.

What a joke this timeslot is. The game may as well have been played on the moon. Zero coverage.
Popped it on at half time of The Aints match when they do those footy central updates. Even that name has changed. Now called The Scoop.
Nat and Mitch Cleary.
Is she related to Basil Zempilas?
When she speaks her eyes double in size to full Zempilas mode. Scare the kids.
Anyway apparently Coll was playing...and Won!
Daicos 1, Daicos 2, blah blah. Next up Norff game in progress.
She did shoot herself in the foot by bringing up the Boobsy dangerous tackle.
So there was another match on today. Phew!
More details after The Aints match.
Breakfast news show this morning next to zero coverage.
I had to check the ladder to confirm 1 we played and 2 we won.
Amazing Afl. Just amazing.
The mug punter is treated with blatant contempt and disregard.
On the upside we are bound to get some coverage next week. We are playing the darlings apparently.
On tv as well. BT will blow a gasket!

So to sum up.

Coll played.
Coll won.

In lesser news Richmond mysteriously gained 4 points to move up the ladder.
Gilquarters in heated discussions if they should investigate this.
How can they get 4 points if they didn't play?

What a wonderful timeslot you have engineered here, Afl.
The Twilight zone of football. For the fans. The phenomenon continues.
Gil will sign off here. He has to get to the polo in his Daimler.

Go Tiges!
Stick it up 'em!

Or as Gus Gould would say:
Get that India, Get that India!

You were warned.:cool:

I’ve been saying for years that Saturday twilight is the best timeslot in footy. I still believe that now. 100% support a twilight GF and it looks like that will finally happen this year.

However, it didn’t pan out for me very well last week in Adelaide. I had a skinful before the game and a skinful at the game.

I was pretty cooked. Instead of painting the town red afterwards, I was in bed by 10:30pm. I am getting old.
