    Couldn't agree more. I don't think I've heard one person say they think it's a good idea. I get they're going for the 20/20 market and the US sports razzle dazzle but I'm not sure the game needs it. At least with 20/20 it resembles cricket. This isn't Aussie rules at all.

    Lasted 30 seconds and turned it off.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    What's worst?

    The commentators, the nonsense at the ground, bizarre rules or the lack of intensity?

    Prefer the women's footy.

    I gave it a try, not as bad as last year but half a game of it was enough for me to turn it off and watch something else.

    Bont looks in ripping shape, I must say.

    I don't know what is G? Sure they say it's aimed at kids now but wasn't this whole thing thought up to broaden the market overseas?

    It just seems to have been devised to target the younger audience and it may work. I'd prefer a proper state of origin type series but that isn't going to happen.

    I had the choice from a bunch of 90's Nick Cage movies just uploaded on Stan. Or AFLX. Easy choice, I don't watch garbage.

    If you haven't seen it, go to SBS onDemand and check out Counterpart. Best new TV series for a while. Pisses on Bodyguard and AFLX.
