all games on saturday

[bayman]

We wanna play our bye on Friday night

was talking about this today surely the bottom team from the previous year should have the bye in the last round? therefore this reduces the chances of a team having to miss 2 weeks in a row before finals?

agree but thats too obvious for the powers at be

Well, you are spot on bayman. the byes sould go in reverse premiership order - i.e. next year with the current positions, West in Round 23, South in Round 22, Norwood in Round 21, Port in Round 20 and so on.

No decision has been made yet and anyone professes that one has been made has no idea.

Let's hope they are all on Saturday afternoon but unfortunately my club has put forward a proposal to play on Friday night which met many boos at the club.

I reckon Bays-Bunnies will be on Saturday arvo since it's the telecast game.

That would make too much sense dutchy

Absolute lunacy that the dogs have the last bye.

Fair enough mate, so if you're wrong we'll just question your CEO's credibility as opposed to yours.

Why boos? Again, it's all in the mind, but why wouldn't North to have an extra nights break?

1 night should make no difference as far as the players go.

I didn't boo so you're asking the wrong person but I can tell you that the families that go hate it, the drunks were unphased as they'll just get smashed at a nearby bar before the game but the parents hated the idea.
Suits me to a tee as I'll just stay in town after work and get smashed (only way I can handle Adelaide Oval) but there could be 3 less people going in my family.

The SANFL is sadly lacking in the younger demographics and decisions like this only hurt that issue even further.
Great for the drunks though but you've got to look at the bigger picture Spelly.

Luckily for me Geelong play on Sunday or Sat night so it doesn't worry me, would if I barracked for a crappier AFL team though, I don't though.

it wouldn't be the first time his credibility has been put under the microscope, perhaps he meant to say 'our' game is on saturday arvo, as for me having credibility we know i haven't got any

Umm, i think he said that OUR game is next Saturday and it's the TV game.

I'm thinking about me! And other neutrals that want to go. The split up of matches last year was the only way I could go to Adelaide Oval on the Saturday in Round 23.

Im thinking about the families and maximising crowds, I couldn't give a rats arse on what 2 or 3 diehards want.
As far as crowds go the experiment was tried last year, it failed, the SANFL should learn from failures.

Given fine weather, it should get 5,000 easily.

and 8,000 on a Saturday.

PS I think you're pushing it, 4,000 perhaps at night.

BTW, what's wrong with Friday night matches?

well saturday arvo footy @ the bay was a great ad for families today, one on the biggest punch-ups I have seen for a while and before half time

[PhilH]

ABC TV towards games end announced all games Saturday Afternoon
Eagles v Glenelg the TV broadcasts

[bayman]

well 3aw think before 'the announcement' that the program will go like this

friday port v west coast
sat hawks v crows
sat night c'wood v syd
sun geelong v kanga's
because of teams getting longer breaks from this week as possible while they thought saturday nights game would go that way for tv
