    Makes no sense to me.
    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.

        So. Who is sitting in front of the telly waiting for it to start? I am but in my defence I have a teenage son.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Lasted 30 seconds and turned it off.

              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.

                              Bont. after the siren sends his Flyers into the GF.

                              Fyfe and Bont together. Wow.

                                Did you choose Con Air or Face Off?
