That was a classic example that a close game ≠ a good game.

I never know if you're serious.
Geez it was awful.
Shortened quarters was probably the worst idea ever. The standard was sickening.
Literally anyone could win the flag this year.

I’m glad the AFL changed so many rules to increase scoring. Worked a treat.
Definitely a touch of sarcasm..

We've been heading for this defensive low scoring gunge for decades I can't see any way out given the coaching ethos & game styles across the league, shortened quarters sure as shit ain't gonna help it.

Like no doubt many I was hanging out to see some footy, but tonight's yawn fest was just another reason to be lusting after the cricket.
Geez that was ordinary!

Why are they kneeling to Coles?
Looks like they all kneeled. Would have thought there would have been one naysayer. Wonder how many felt stupid

Watched 5 minites of this game....turned it off and immediately felt much better about life. I will watch all the port games, with an eye mainly to the development of our youth, but will not be taking too much interest otherwise
lol i forgot the season started tonight. Going by these comments i didn't miss anything except some fun reading.
At some point they'll realise that 36 players on the field is too many in an era of professional coaching and athletes.

She's at the footy, so probably predatory too.
Didn't think it was as bad as everyone is saying.
Sure it wasn't great footy but nothing worse than we've seen in the past 2 years. Think the shortens quarters and coming back from a break so it was extra ugly makes it worse in people's heads.

Nah the skills were poor. Both coaches in their pressers talked about heavy dew conditions having an effect. Remember when a season starts it starts in warm dry weather which helps with skills and scoring. Basically this is the start of a season in winter.
The pressure was great but not good when the dominate 1st quarter team doesn't kick a goal in the second half.

With 16-minute quarters, I would like to see:
- 6-player benches; and
- a limit of 18 interchanges per quarter.
