One thing I would recommend is switch to listening to it on the radio while you do something productive. One of the things that made footy frustrating for me was wasting 3 hours to just get angry at the TV. The experience is different when you only listen to Freo games and don't feel like you're wasting time. I watch very little footy other than Freo and try to restrict myself to our night games on TV. The game strangely comes alive a bit more when you don't actually see it.
Ten years ago I watched almost every game I could, and honestly looking back this was a complete waste of time, and not all that enjoyable. Getting annoyed at Geelong vs Collingwood games because I wanted one of those teams to win and they didn't. Who cares!
Yeah that would suit my work situation, but it’s more the time spent reading news and forums and watching shows when the games aren’t on that I think I can be using better. Just thinking I should probably try to increase the number of milestones I can make on the way to the grave. Anyhoo…
