It’s desperate. It’s confusing. It’s ■■■■. It’s the AFL.

Has anyone noticed, that this OR debacle means Collingwood will get a bye in round 5 (effectively round 6 for them) and round 15?
Whereas, we’ll get a single bye in round 14.
The fixture is already pot luck, but this seems like a pretty unfair advantage for the class favourite…

The kidletts up here play auskick to learn how to kick before switching to touch.

Ummm then those ABC reporters and fans rocking up are reeeeally lost then, they are getting ready for the pregame now 
No Parker taunting us or Adams belting our midfielders
Should make for an interesting duel
Hopefully the line about teams losing after byes is actually true.
Hopefully they also get doubly screwed with the sequencing of AFL and VFL byes.
Trying to understand why the AFL does things, is kind of like the old saying “never argue with an idiot…”

How ■■■■ is it not having a game in the first weekend of AFL footy. Totally kills the anticipation. Major buzzkill.
