I was nearly going to call the thread, 'where's my Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday night football?', because I was sort of getting used to having a game every night, but instead, I thought that I should acknowledge the Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
On a vaguely shallow personal level, I look forward to seeing each year's crop of indigenous jerseys, as there's always some brilliant design work amongst them. This year is no exception. To me, the Crows jersey is a stunningly good piece of art. Also, there's an impressive bit of multitasking going on, with five of them being designed by current players, with Bobby Hill's effort for the Giants being one of my favourites. We'll be once again donning the Black Swan.

Match wise, there's a few games that should be worth watching. The Suns have a rare Friday night appearance, when they take on Carlton. The Dogs and Demons clash on Saturday arvo, should be entertaining and hard fought. Bit of a shame that there's no Dreamtime at the G, but we should be see some fun celebrations in Darwin, before switching over for our match against the Dockers. And finally, the best match of the round, could be Sunday afternoon's Lions v Saints, which should give some sort of indication, how much either side is a genuine premiership contender.
