Low scoring? Umps will start paying more dubious frees in front of goal. Scores higher. Problem solved

I think it was 4 dead rubber VFL games.

Yes 3 vfl games. It’s worth reposting this article as well as it exposed how shortsighted the test was

LOL.
SO tempted, but no.
Well played.

we are now having live entertainment pregame on ANZAC.

Also, isn’t it protocol that the home team is the first mentioned? This whole lead up has been Coll V ESS.

Will Birds of Tokyo be playing The Last Post? can’t see that’s it’s appropriate even if they are.

(Giving them the benefit of the doubt), thinking maybe they have gone alphabetical re the teams.

The reverence of the ANZAC Day match is slowly being eroded. Who needs a rock band playing before the game?

Wont happen, but it would be great if the crowd turned their back on the band.

Haven’t they had a band play before the game the last few Anzac days? Or was that just an army band?

Such an awful idea
ANZAC Day is not about a band Gudinski is trying to promote :man_shrugging:

I thought it was military and then an actual band. But obviously I was wrong.

In my defence I am almost always drunk by game time
