    I’m not the only one watching this tonight, right?

    Nope. I've been watching Aussie Rules since the mid 80s.

    The empty stadium makes it feel like a scrimmage.

    Yeah, I used to watch years ago on ESPN. When did the goal umpires ditch the lab coats and fedoras?

    I don't remember exactly. Late 90s, I think.

    It's been a while. I think they only trot those out for Grand Finals and special occasions now.

    Yeah I was watching last night but have watched before. Also missed the huge pom poms that are usually right by the goals.

    Really jonesing for some sports right now.

    The games have been on FS2 the past two or three seasons. And last night/this morning was the first time there's ever been a TV doubleheader in the US that I know of.

    Tonight at 11 p.m. (Central), Hawthorn takes on Brisbane.

    Fox Soccer Plus (if you can find it) has more games and matches from Australia's National Rugby League.

    I've been watching older games on YouTube. This is one of the best games I've ever seen:
