2018 AFL Season

Classic AFL, hype up a decision not to do anything

It was a dry run to gauge reaction. Will definitely happen next season.

The only aspect I don't like is the yellow ball, albeit unavoidable in the inevitability.

Yep very obvious they were looking at getting the feel for the reaction.

Cant be far away.

Yeah fair point. I didn’t hear too much outrage either which probably means it’s coming next year

Obviously the clash jumper rule only goes out the door for Collingwood/Essendon on ANZAC Day.

It’s not deemed as a clash that’s why.
Essendon only has to wear the clash guernsey for away games against Port, Richmond, Melbourne and the Saints

Not Carlton, not Adelaide?

Correct.
Those 4 are the only ones where we are obligated to wear our clash guernsey.

[Robran]

Milera having a great game imagine if he could hit a target be a very good player.

Don’t think we do against those 2 clubs. I’m not sure but think last year it was decided we had to use it against both WA teams aswell

Got my hopes up for no reason, the AFL said its still starting at 2.30pm.

I for one don't understand the fascination with the game being a twilight or night grand final. It seems the reason we're doing it is because of the spectacle at half time. When I'm at games or at home, I use half time to go and do something else. I'm not there for a concert. Why do we have to follow the American's with everything we do!

Because we're hooked, we're footy fans who'll watch the game no matter what.

However to "grow" the game, to give the sponsors maximum exposure to new markets, to "hook" new followers of teh game we already know is the best the marketing/corporate experts think a twilight GF is best.

We don't count it's the untapped market that's more important than us....

*sigh*

We tried to "grow" the game by bringing in Gold Coast and GWS and all that's done is rape the talent pool and pour millions of wasted dollars into two franchises nobody cares about.

"Grow"....

Should never change the time or the venue!

The only shock is that it has taken this long to come out publicly. He has been in a bad way for many years

Absolutely, it wouldn't matter if Riley Reid was performing at half time, once that siren goes I'm out of there for 15 to 20 minutes.

If Riley Reid was performing, I’d only need 3-4 minutes...
