AFL Round 1 – Thursday 13th March ORFFA Round 1 – Take the Weather with You Here we go again, the start of another season. But this time, the AFL's heavily-chreographed Temu Opening Round (gotta be written in title case) has been dampened by the very non-Temu Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Of course, this isn't the first time VFL/AFL has been affected by the weather. From lightning strikes, torrential downpours and Paul Peos being clonked by golfball sized hail at Waverley (in fact, Waverley Park's entire unique weather system), through to baking hot conditions in pre-season and early rounds and Jim Stynes famed hat-wearing exploits, our great game has always just rolled with things ... until it decides to stop rolling with things. In that vein - roll on ORFFA Round 1. What's the worst weather you've watched an AFL game in?

This year we are asking both home and away teams to nominate an Australian or NZ act to provide pre-game and then half-time entertainment. Of course, the stipulation for local(ish) acts and the fact that the ORFFA half-time entertainment budget doesn't quite stretch as far as, say, the NFL, mean that Kendrick Lamar sends his apologies and is unable to attend this time around.

This year, ORFFA Round 3 is the time to raise a glass, drink a toast and muse a little on what Terry may have thought of the impending coaching handover out Alberton way...

The fixture is up and the weekly round themes will be gradually sketched and coloured in during times I don't feel like partaking in my paying job. Have to come up with some new themes.
