A lacklustre rugby league test and an average AFL round last weekend.
Parramatta may start their season again having lost points gained so far and will probably play finals football because at least nine other sides in the competition are that ordinary.
One third of the way into the AFL season and about one-third of teams are officially in rebuilding for next season mode.
