The AFL really needs to get its shit together.

To allow the opening game to happen with the cyclone over in QLD is pure insanity as much as I want to see my team play.

Move the opener to round 3 where the bye for the teams are or move it locally and tell people early so that they don’t make a dangerous trip to Brisbane.

Anyway that’s my rant for the day.

Yes, they should move that game to round 3. But also what even is this half-arsed 'opening round' nonsense? Just play a normal round of footy.

It’s so stupid. Just make it round one for starters and maybe have a game in Melbourne.

They think they’re capitalising on the NRL being away in Vegas.
