Just like the Nrl its going to be a weird season ,
interesting there seems to be a fair bit of pessimism regarding the potential for soft tissue injuries with the unusual preparation, you can almost hear the fear in the coaches voices when asked about it ,
Buddy already gone down with a hammy ,
Maybe the clubs that manage this part of things best , might be the ones firing at the pointy end

@sjhughes massive dilemma facing NZ viewers on Saturday night
Do they watch the rugby? or do they watch Carlton v the Demons...

One of the easier questions you have posed really but nice to know AFL still has Kiwi fans.
I was just looking for the SPATFA comedian thing about AFL and found this, unrelated but, well...

No mention of SPATFAs but funny none the less.

Easy. The Chiefs are playing.

Shit game. Just trash.
The Ch 7 commentary team is fucking awful and getting worse.
-
Terrible return to football for two teams supposed to go deep into the finals.

Is Bruce McAvaney on Ch 7?

yep bit of an odd game , lots of rust and slippery dewey conditions,
Collingwood looked slick early , before richmond wore them down
you would think under normal length quarters ( extra 20 mins playing time ) Richmond wouldve run over the top of them,they tend to be fast finishers , shorter game might not suit them
-
it was terrible watching two teams i hate play turgid shit football, all the while having to listen to Bruce, BT "Duck" and Lingey tell each other what a great job they are doing with the call.
The only refreshing thing was it was Richmond v Collingwood and i didn't have to listen to 85,000 mouth breathers yell "BAAAAALLLLL!!!!!" every time there is a tackle, and have someone tell me it's "atmosphere"
-
Nah I bloody loved it. Thursday night, glass of red in hand, nice eye fillet, and some footy on TV? Heavenly.
The game was shit quality, but it was always going to be. News flash: all the other games this weekend will be shit as well. Probably next week's games too.
But I don't really care, because I just enjoy watching the game and forgetting about all the other shit going on in the world for a few hours.

@barbarian the NRL flew out of the blocks, i expected the same from the AFL.
Having two games to flick through wasn't bad though.

I don't think playing your first game back as a night game in the middle of winter in Melbourne (during the coldest week of the year so far) was great planning.
NRL were smart to have their first game back in winterless Queensland (as are Super Rugby Aus by the way) and Super Rugby Aotearoa smartly went with a roofed option for their first game back.

NRL were helped by a change in officiating that was genius in hindsight.
Best AFL ratings in 10 years for Channel 7, so clearly the masses were happy with whatever they could get.
