Did you read the article? Even the guy in the article says round zero was probably worth it lol. And this guy is notorious for whinging about shit
"Of course it does but like with a lot of these things, is the juice worth the squeeze? In this case it probably is," Scott said on Fox Footy on Monday night. "Let's just be honest. Of course it compromises it, but it might be worth it."

I watched that interview and just read the article - I don't think he was criticising the concept - he was just pointing out that it does compromise the fixture - which he said he did not have a problem with - as is compromised in other ways - was just stating that let's not pretend it isn't compromised - acknowledge it and simply state it was worth doing for the benefits gained. That was my take anyway.
In saying that - I have seen complaints from several melbourne based people about feeling left out - that it doesn't feel like the footy had started from their perspective as nothing on in Melbourne.

he said it compromises the draw , & that is a criticism joining a chorus of others who believe this concept is.... utterly ridiculous

From what I got from it was that if he was being critical it was more toward the AFL for pretending that it was not a compromise - to just acknowledge it is but a worthwhile one - he didn't see there being an issue with the draw being compromised I felt - just don't presend that it isn't.

I must have missed when he said that - but agree, there have been the critics with the biggest one being maybe they could have had a game on the Sunday as well - possibly in Melbourne. Of course, this is a very melbourne centric approach and no mention of Adelaide or Perth.
