I am probably in the minority but I am 100% READY for the footy now.

AFLW has been good this year and is a great primer. The girls don't want me to say that (I know) and I don't really mean it that way...I have watched maybe 20x games of AFLW this year and have been really enjoying it - BUT what it really did was give me a 'footy fix' a month or so early. Our girls had a disappointing back end of the season (to be expected I think) and finishing up yesterday with a pretty brave effort was actually perfect...

The AFL-X was publicity and fun...and made me look forward to the JLT.

2x rounds of pre-season games is just about right...I am so glad the bad old days of 4x games and pre-season finals etc are done with.

The week off before the season has me really eager for it all to just START.

We will beat the Swans this week and have a great early season (well - 14x rounds!!!) draw...this is gonna be GREAT!
