Will Kayo do footy? Because it has been bloody great for the cricket and I'll keep that over WatchAFL this time if so.

I like the day grand final and if pressed would vote to keep it, but there are things I'm far more traditionalist about. I'd let them play it at 2am in exchange for removing video boundary fence advertising, for example.

Match review:
I am disappointed that Richmond has gone with lemon yellow again rather than the golden yellow they had in 2017 and earlier. Not sure why they hosed with the best guernsey in the league.

Collingwood's away top is better than their home top and I'm sure was just their regular top when I was a kid. North Melbourne is the same, when they do the simple reverse. The extra white looks better.

Hawthorn's away top is now excellent but Kennett is wrong, white can be a brilliant guernsey colour when done well. I don't get Power and Carlton's grey tops, the white versions are far superior.

That's my review of the game so far.

I hope we go back to oxford blue with puma next year as our guernseys have looked close to black for a decade now.

That would be great. One day I'll hope Carlton wins finals but for now I'll hope they wear the good poo poo.

Hawthorn is still in it due to that gutsy win over the Blues at York Park. Gotta get behind them.

I was barracking for Hawthorn yesterday because they were wearing one of the best guernseys I've seen in any sport ever. I think it was just my evolutionary association of good-looking with good and just. Maybe the umpires experienced the same as me? Maybe the crowd did, too, and so the Eagles lost some of the cauldron advantage when the barrackers' hearts weren't in it?

Just a bit of feedback there for any club insiders looking for a drug-free advantage.

Don't gaf about half time either, that's for kicking the footy.

But Paul Kelly is a loving national treasure and musical legend and I love that it's him instead of demonstrating our cultural cringe by getting a once-big international act now that they're well past it and can't get any better gigs.

I've long thought the Vic vs All Stars could be good if done right. It doesn't have to be the afterthought that people see it as - the All Stars could be viewed like the Barbarians invitational team, something to aspire to, and everyone outside of Vic could enjoy pummelling the Vics year after year.

I know we miss the full state of origin but unlike the NRL version it lacks the fact that the best players of the sport are in the match. That's what makes it better quality than the NRL grand final. But all players need to be made available, it needs the breathing space to be its own annual thing, and it needs to be marketed well. And I do think it needs to be Vic vs The Rest rather than two brand new teams - it's better to have one team with the history and arrogance at the outset, as it gives the new team and its supporters a desire to beat them and forge their own. And Vic is the obvious choice.

Personally I don't like the name "All Stars" or the guernsey - I'd rather a strong, traditional-looking top that still clashes well against the Vics - but I could live with it if the event is taken seriously. It's the "just for fun" atmosphere that makes me disinterested in its current form.
