The AFL are disgusting, trying to book leave for August and not sure where we are playing… grow up AFL House and just realise the full fixture, fans have families and lives to organise! Pathetic, shameless money grabbing!

Ugh, Adelaide as usual. It shouldn't be that hard to make the Vic clubs take a 90 minute flight to be hosted by the SA clubs for pre-season games / match simulations.

When did a scratch match become a scrimmage in Australia?

Yet another Americanism.

Will the live stream be on YouTube? Or only watchable through the club website/app?

That's a shame. Much easier to watch on the TV through YouTube. Oh well, will have to navigate the dumb TV internet browser I guess.

I think most of the time they have it on the website first but then it's on YouTube a couple of days later.

Edit - maybe not. Can't find anything except highlights. I was sure they did. Maybe was the scratch match vs crows they done for a few years which wasn't telecast on Kayo.

Pathetic, shameless money grabbing!

Yep, that says it all. Why else would they have half the competition playing finals?
