When Collingwood host North Melbourne in front of a sell-out crowd at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, it will be some 2534 days between prime-time, Friday night fixtures in Victoria for the Kangaroos.
It's unfathomable, really, given the men in royal blue and white were the architects of the concept in its current form, some 40-odd years ago.

A low point in Australia's pop culture history, I'm sure you'd agree.
