I wish they'd increase the volume on the fake crowd and drown out the commentators.  I've watched a lot of old matches recently and the quality of commentating was so much better.  

People say the world started turning to [censored] when Bowie died, but I think it was Dennis Cometti’s retirement that got those wheels turning.

As much as I've missed footy, I didn't even make it to quarter time before channel surfing.

I'm struggling to get excited for it.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

That was a dire half of footy, and from 2 of the top 4 sides in the comp no less.

Sidebottom is an out and out superstar! 

18 possessions in two shortened quarters........outstanding

[Cards13 9,117]

Pendlebury is better than he’s ever been tonight. Skills of majority of players in the game are better than they’ve ever been. Fitness as well.
 

AFL as a spectacle is terrible at present.

Definitely needs at least another 10 rule changes.

[Meggs 598]

Picked the Pies by 3 points but the game is just not fun to watch, I am not sure why. At least it’s close

It has been for a while.

It's radical, but I don't mind the idea of zones to stop 36 players just following the ball around.

If Tigers win by under a goal the headline will be that video decision giving Higgins the shot.

Shocking decision, video evidence 

What do they look at??

How did they stuff that up? Clearly over the line on first viewing. Pathetic that commentators don't speak up.

BT did and said it was wrong and Carey sought of agreed with him.

[rjay 25,199]

Don't like the shortened quarters.

...but then again, I'm not liking the game all that much.

No atmosphere, No energy. Nobodies fault but it is a fact

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Meh...

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Boo to short quarters and low scoring games. Hooray to a draw. A loss for both sides.

[Diamond_Jim 12,642]

Other than one decent mark by ?? and Sidebottom's first half that game was forgettable.

Let's remember the AFL picked it.

Collingwood unlucky to lose/draw

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Yawn.

Pies zone defence. They stopped Tigers run.  But you need to score!!! 

Riewoldt? Rioli? Did they play?? Absolutely missing all night. 

[Bizzell Blitz 26]

watching post match, should the MCG invest in some better chairs for the players? They are loaded! Out with Bunnings white plastic chairs and in with some luxury style leather chairs

Then Reiwoldt with a shot 30 out fails to score.

Until you put someone accountable on him. 

[Demonstone 23,106]

So neither of them won?  Gotta be happy with that.

[Demon Disciple 12,313]

Small sample, but as the game wore on the lethargy was really apparent. Here's hoping DB has our boys still in good knick.
