I have watched two games of AFL.
Todays final until I found something better to do and the first game the Swans(South Melbourne I think) played at the SCG. Both games did little for me and IMO the purported skills of the game were not evident in either game.
As for the TV coverage today with adds every 3 minutes!!!!!!! and block adds at quarter times. Hopeless.
Maybe I am missing something, as I am sure I will be told.....but I found both these contests very disappointing when compared to the promotional hype that surrounds the game.
Maybe next year will get me in?
