00:02It's been a soggy start to gather round,
00:04but the rain hasn't dampened some fans' spirits.
00:07Yes, part of footy.
00:09We've packed a lot of ponchos just in case.
00:11We're ready to battle it, even if it's raining,
00:13so, yeah, make the most of it.
00:14But there's been more than footy on the agenda,
00:17even for play-its.
00:18A look behind the scenes at Adelaide Oval
00:20and a return home for some, like Fremantle's Isaiah Dudley.
00:23Got a taste of it last week, being back home,
00:26but a bit more chill now
00:27because we've got all the family out of the way last week
00:29and are prepping for tomorrow night's game.
00:31On top of the festivities,
00:33free Shane Warne legacy health scans are also proving popular.
00:37Men tend to think, I'll push through this, I'll be fine.
00:41We aren't.
00:42We lose so many people to negligence.
00:44The AFL maintains fruitful negotiations
00:47on the future of gather round in South Australia
00:50are continuing in the hope of striking a deal
00:53which benefits both SA and the league.
00:56But a new proposal has emerged.
00:58Sydney Swans chairman Andrew Pridham
01:01suggesting Queensland and New South Wales
01:03host their own gather round
01:05in the opening week of the season.
01:07I thought his idea has merits.
01:09Now, don't quote me on that, that it's going to happen.
01:12But I think more so the fact
01:15that we're thinking about those sorts of things.
01:17For those heading to the games
01:19while the weather's been bleak,
01:21it's expected to improve as the round gathers pace.
01:24It's a crazy show.
01:24The way we write that down...
01:27It's a crazy show.
01:27It's a crazy show.
01:27I don't think we can make a difference...
