Well the other reason I think the atmosphere is weaker then it was is the domination of the more succesful clubs. I know I've harped on about his before but Geelong fans are a lot less vocal than they used to be because they are spoilt. 3 premierships and constant top 4 finishes for a decade. We are fat, happy and content. We barely raised a whisper when we beat Port Adelaide in last years semi. Contrast that with the noise North Melbourne's rather small fanbase made during this years semi final. They've been middling on the ladder for years, sometimes scraping into the eight, but often not, their last real finals tilt back in '07 ended in humilation. The roar when they surged ahead and the boos for Selwood were deafening. Their fanbase is starved for a bit of success and they made a fuckload more noise then we did. For us, we can shrug and say oh well we've made the prelim in '13, '11, '10, '09, '08, '07 and '04. That sort of thing quietens the soul somewhat. A mixup of the ladder order would do wonders for the league. (See: Port's crowds 2014).

I finally got around to doing some testing of the local AFL streaming on my little Tronsmart box: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Tron...SPD_Feed_324693 I've got it plugged into a 42" tv, and you use the AFL app on the Android box which weirdly runs like a phone on the screen, but when it playing a video it goes full screen. At its best resolution I have to say the image quality is very much watchable, its not amazing by any standards, but you're not missing any of the action. My only concern is about the being able to get the high resolution feed during a live game in the real season, i.e. if Telstra can't handle the load and give everyone the crappy low bandwidth version. I think its a great alternative to Foxtel, at this point in time.

I'm really really loving glad that the first I heard of Jesse Hogan sustaining a potentially serious foot injury in the game vs Freo was in an article saying that scans were done and it was all good.

Better not be like a "Battlers Battle" or something like that. Then you'll have people crawling out of the woodwork with ACA style stories all over the footy. or maybe it'll be a round to celebrate Baby Boomers who have had it tough.

That basically sums up every person I ever spoke to on the phone in customer service. We dubbed them, collectively, "Murray from Caboolture". Murray generally always thinks he deserves a hand out and $5 knocked off his bill, makes the 3 properties a little easier to deal with. So god help if he finds out they're considering dedicating a round of footy to him and he doesn't get it.
