I love the 3:20pm timeslot, and wished I lived in Victoria to go to the game. I would not use the "later" timeslot as an excuse not to go to a game.

When I used to go to the footy with my parents as a young teen, even a bit earlier, one of the great thrills of going to the MCG for a 2:10pm game was that on the odd occasion (weather permitting), that they may turn the lights on. It used to give me goose bumps for some reason! For some reason, playing under lights always adds to the atmosphere for me. Sounds weird, but it's true!

If I ever live back in Victoria, and get the opportunity to take my kids to a game, the only game that I *may* not take the kids to would be a Monday night game, but it would depend on where I'm living. I used to love going to the footy, day or night, and I hope that my kids will feel the same way.

Nb. Not trying to be a smart ar$e, but try living away from Victoria. You will never whinge about timeslots again.

    You're in Tas though aren't you Nasher? It is totally understandable that some timeslots don't fit with interstate travel.

    The people that live 30 minutes to and hour's drive that complain about timeslots, they're the ones that do annoy me.

    If we were on top of the ladder I'm sure people would make the 3:20pm timeslot with no issues at all.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
