Call me a fair-weather fan or maybe just take away my die-hard card, but after the first quarter on Sun, I had to turn it off. It was that bad.
Here's the thing with sports. A major component of the enjoyment I derive from watching them is the excitement of finding out who will win. That means if I know who's going to win after one quarter of the game, the remaining three quarters lose pretty much all of their allure.
And now and again I enjoy an amazing display of sport despite knowing the outcome, especially in the case of re-living a great memory. But there was nothing impressive going on in StK's Round 10 match. Even the goals rolling off the boots of the NM forwards were less impressive because it seemed like a practice scrimmage against the VFL players.
So, yes, I had to turn it off. I can spend only so much time watching footy every week, and I want it to be exciting.
