Round 1: the other games. Are we there yet? Yes; yes we are.

Some of the expressions on their faces while they played statues were quite comical. I reckon if the bloke with the ball is not looking they should be allowed to creep forward until eye contact is renewed like the weeping angels in Dr Who. That would be much more fun.

I second that aardvark - would be thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

I'm definitely barracking for Anyone But Richmond this year

I held that thought for a moment or two until Fraudenberg appeared on the screen wearing a Carlton scarf sitting next to Slomo from Marketing who looked thoroughly confused. It would be an unpleasant world if Carlton ever moved out of the bottom 10.

However, from a purely neutral perspective (often a difficult place to locate) it was a pretty good game. I like having the footy back.

I really, really don’t like the statue rule. In my view it makes elite athletes look lazy and stupid.

I watched it on delay. My recording ran out halfway through the last qtr and I didn't even bother to look up the final result. It was all just a bit dull.

That’s interesting, I thought I would be the only person with that view.

I watched the third quarter. Got bored. Went to bed.

I don't know if I'm the outlier or the norm, but unless a Sydney team is involved, I don't have much interest in other games anymore.
