Good round of footy but why have a Thursday game when the weekend is already 3 games less?

3 more Thursday games to come too.

I love Thursday night footy, not so much when it's my team at home and I'll be rushed to get home, changed and into town. Reckon it's a winner nonetheless.

I love Thursday night footy, except for the havoc it plays with fantasy teams. But I think they should have it all the time.

Plays havoc for Fantasy Football and tipping comps that require all of your tips in before the first bounce.

I don't like the kids having to have late nights to watch their teams also, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and think sports should be reserved for the weekends.

Having said that, I realize I'm a minority and will no doubt watch it anyway.

It makes it seem like the weekend is here sooner. Makes Friday go faster :)

Thursday night footy has its pros and cons.

Massive coincidence that the NRL introduced Thursday night games for every round and the AFL quickly follow suit. Will be Thursday night footy every round in the next year or two

NRL with its programming is much more advanced than the AFL
