I see that Watts kicked two 10-pointers! Possible Port’s best player. Ce la vie! ?

I agree but I've trained my eyes (already) to block all that nonsense out. 

I'm watching the players and the ball only J5. 

Fair enough. At least play with a yellow ball for tv viewing. 

I see that Port have four ex-demons in their side.

And none of them made an impact.

And they bring out the yellow ball anyway. Who would of thought a silver ball wouldnt work?

Just tuned back in, misses was watching celebrity jungle. It’s much better now. 

Is this the last game before the GF?

There is literally zero tackles or serious contests. It comes down to who can covert from 3 kicks end to end.

 

This is beyond awful.

Watts got two 10-pointers! I wouldn’t describe that as zero impact!

I prefer this format. I won’t be watching the season proper. 

See you all for a weekend next year!

Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel about this?  I'm conflicted - it's either garbage or complete shite, I just can't decide which one it is yet.

Johnny Warren would be turning in his grave at the sight of this. #STUPIDITY

Please dont risk players over this CRAP.

Grand final is about to start. 

I heard The Rolling Stones and Beyoncé are the half time entertainment. 

What a rubbish game!

I will tear the joint apart if we dont pull players out of this mocked up [censored] Goodwin i know you have brain please do the right thing and pull clayton, trac or any player in best 26 players at club FFS.

Very strange on radio...

As a spectator sport it doesn't have much to recommend - but could work well as an alternative format where there are fewer players, reduced ground size, etc. I get to see footy similar to this fairly often (in Europe), and it makes a lot more sense when everything is slowed down because skills and fitness are reduced.

Not to mention, perfect as a social game.

Any idea what the crowd is like?

Bored.

If you hate tackling and contested marking, this is the sport for you. 

 

No wonder Watts was captain.

Is there some clause in Melbourne players contracts that they must end up playing in the city of Adelaide?

I’ve seen a quarter. I’m about ready to watch darts instead. 

May have fallen into a coma there at one stage. Soooooo dull!

Yep, it’s not what I was hoping for, although the second game wasn’t too bad.  I was expecting a much faster game than they gave us.

At least we got to watch it before passing judgement ?

The trophy looks like it’s made from MDF.

Yep, it's kind of like basketball (end to end score) but with a lot less pressure.

No real contests that make the game (AFL) what it is.

The actual game, I don't hate it
