Well,PREnders,another pre-season final......then a week to dust off the scarves,
check the reserved seats and its into another season.
But,one thing that has stuck out to me recently is the emphasis of tyhe AFL on the pre-season as a LEGITIMATE competition,then you hear about teams that supposedly DONT TRY,or just go throught he motions.
In my journey as a footy fan....I thought that the pre-season was nothing more than an opportunity for
coaches and clubs to just blow a few cobwebs out of their players and to give the young *uns a crack...before main bout,as well as playin matches in country areas to give grass-roots fans a chance to see their beloved teams up close and personal.
If the AFL are so bent on makin the pre-season more legit,why not just blow it away and have a 30 game season.......that would be fairer.....I reckon.....50/50
That woukld do away with the likes of Tony Shaw condemning us to the bottom when I reckon
Collingwood and Hwathorn arent in that flash formwise........
Ya dont get a feel for whose gonna be the standout until at least 6-8 weeks into the season I rackon anyway.......
Over to you,PREnders......
