Yeah, thanks for posting the link & all, … but Bartlett & Smith?? What they think?? about anything??
lol, … Pass.
Blockbuster fatigue?I certainly have.
It won’t be long before there is no such thing as just a footy match. Everything will be themed, and blockbustered, and pre booked, and bring on the entertainers, blah blah blah.

The week before ANZAC? I’m sure this will be treated the way the AFL and EFC and GFC want it to be treated.
Can't wait for the tractor pull at half time.
