It's time. For too long we have accepted mediocrity and disappointment, all served maliciously under the guise of competition. We've been ripped off, forced to endure games like North Melbourne v Footscray where the result is all but predetermined and no-one cares anyway, all out of some apparent need to present a fair and equal competition for all teams.
It's time that the AFL finally understood and accepted it's role as first and foremost a provider of entertainment. Rather then wasting our time with these non-events, the league should embrace a WWF style of administration. Concocted close finishes, stunning comebacks, third teams entering play because they have a beef with the champions. It would just make for better TV viewing.
Failing that, given that Collingwood will probably lose to Hawthorn by 2000 goals in round 23, we should just play Strauchnie at centre half forward.
In the news...
Stevey J is likely to miss for the cats this week, but Bartel should return. The Cats play Hawthorn on Saturday night.
Michael Barlow will miss the end of the Home & Away season with a thumb injury. He should return for finals.
Nat Fyfe will challenge his two-game ban at the tribunal. An unsuccessful appeal would make it very hard for his management, who are currently proposing a legal challenge to the rules of the Brownlow Medal.
