The entertainment doesn't change if the rusted on fans will watch.
The entertainment changes the fringe viewer.
The entertainment at half time minimises the channel surfing during the 20 minute break.
The entertainment is there to appease the TV channels paying billions.

IMO.

Who changes the channel at halftime? I thought everyone goes for a refill/toilet stop/grab some food??

Half time is when you go outside & do burnouts in your mates EH Holden ute while another mate is passed out from playing skull footy because he had Silvagni in the 1st quarter of the 93 GF & Essendon kicked or rushed through 8 points. All of which Silvagni did the kicking in from

I had Ablett in the 89 GF
I had to skull 9 shandy’s as a 14 year old

I had Platten in the 88 GF … 23 touches, don’t remember much of the last quarter.

Caught last qtr of ess v Saints

The Dill will say umpiring never been better
That was a shambles, atleast it was consistent for both sides.

Andrew Dillon talking about fixture equity and how important that is for the AFL when designing the draw…. Absolute rubbish, the AFL considers one metric and one metric only - commercial return.

Blockbuster games, max return and priority timeslots to maximise revenue.

Equity and fairness isn’t on the radar… how stupid does he think we are?

*** in fairness, if he reads this forum he’d be right to assume we’re all pretty stupid.

Very stupid is the answer.

The execs used to have crowd attendance in their KPI's - so very easy to manipulate to gain a bonus at season's end.

Eleni was shocking

I thought we were bad but if Nas leaves the Saints are spoon certainties. We fought hard considering but with near on a full team out and losing another tonight it was always going to be a tough ask.
The loss should help our draft position with the Dees pick though

Fraudmantle doing Fraudmantle things

As I said in Round 1 - Crows Lions grand final

how Goldy never got HTB in the last minute was just bemusing

Couple of crow throws in clear sight of umpires and the time wasting on the boundary line. Specsavers????

Just a reminder about previous games where Dawson was hit in the face drawing blood costing victory and the Milera “throw” which he hand balled costing a goal

[Booney]

3 games for Wines?

[mots02]

There’s always a steady stream of new contenders but Papley continues to hold the undisputed title of ‘most punchable face in the game’.

If it was a private ballot I’m certain most of his team mates would vote for him too.

Didn’t realise Dawson was a certainty to kick that goal had he been given a shot.

I feel sick the CheATS are going to get Gold Frauds first week of the finals

I didn’t realise anything was a certainty after it didn’t happen.

Free kicks get paid, and then they don’t.

I’m sure there were 3 incidents across the game where Collingwood got something that maybe they shouldn’t have.

24hrs on it means stuff all !

Player that got bumped after disposing of the ball went off after it.
