Btw volker the main reason its fake isnt because of the silly rules its because most of the time teams leave half their list out. A cursory examination of tonights teams shows me no Hodge, Lewis, or Pendlebury. I don't think I've seen Gibson either.

Well yeah, it's preseason. The biggest thing is that you'd expect it to be more like a scrimmage where the players are only going 80 percent just to get some reps in. They're playing hard though.

It's been around in preseason for several years now. It's one of those weird situations where I'd be uncomfortable with it ever making its way into real AFL, but I quite like its presence and the dynamic it adds to the preseason comp.

I wonder how long it'll take for anyone to usurp Ballantyne as the No. 1 player everybody loves to hate. He's held it for longer than anyone else I can remember in the modern game.
