I actually think fans hate this timeslot the most.

It's so early in the day, it interrupts the morning and by the time the game's over you feel like the afternoon's gone too.

I think I dislike 1.10pm starts more than 4.40pm starts.

Not me. My favorite time slot. Home by 5pm in time to cook dinner and avoid using up too many brownie points

1:10 on a sunday suits me much better

You have my vote.

1.10 start means nothing else gets done, Effectively for me a whole day devoted to a football match of 2 hours.

1.10 means a reasonable post game victory session followed by dinner and drinks

Perfect day

And the problem with that is?  Only problem I have is I have to make up for things around the house, to keep she who must be obeyed happy.  Otherwise, I don't mind the 1:10 time slot at all

The problem is iv'a that there is more to my life than games of football.

1.10 starts are the pits IMO but each to his own.

Last Saturday I had an important engagement at 11.00 that finished at approx. 12 add in the weather was less than wonderful and we were playing the Hawks with little chance of success so it became a TV / radio game for me.

If it had been a 4pm game I would have gone.

1.10 start gives me ample reason not to start any jobs around the house. A 4.40 one means I really have no excuse to not to get something of substance done. I'm not a fan of the 4.40 kick off

I understand OD, but if you did not have the engagement, you would have gone?

Probably yes but the point is there are often things that have to be done AM Saturday and Sunday which then makes it hard to get to the start of the game.

As I said each to his own but the 1pm games are my least favourite.

I find it more difficult to go in the later timeslot, as the colder evening air means I run out of incontinence pads far more quickly.  No seriously, I value my Sunday nights, to prepare for the working week ahead.  A Sunday twilight game means I don't get home until after 8:00 pm

You're not waiting half the day for the game to start and you can be home well and truly before dinner 

You feel like eating after MFC games?

And over the last decade it has meant we arrive home after the evening news on TV therefore avoiding being told by some sports reporter how shiit we are.

I figure the closer one is to the 'winding down stage' the closer is 'The Big Sleep'! :unsure:

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
