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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
