Trying to ignore our own recent performance in a practice game, I think it’s worthwhile to discuss the broader question: Should the AFL have practice/pre-season games?
What is the main purpose that they serve?
What do other team sports leagues around the world do regarding practice/pre-season games?
How do we justify potential serious injury to players?
If coaches/teams are deliberately concealing their tactics, what’s the point?
Does it mean playing more matches for four points?
I lean towards relegating them to the past. In my opinion, the only real positive for having them is the chance to see an AFLish match at Arden Street.
