More Thursday Night Games

I'd take Thursday night games but with a preference for Friday nights.

Thursday is still terrific prime time exposure for sponsors and an opportunity to get a big crowd into an earlier game. If we get two or three of these Thursday night games and also play Anzac Day Eve, QBD and a Round 1 blockbuster against say Collingwood and throw in one or two Friday nights, we're a massive chance to break our attendance record again.

    Not a huge fan. Was happy with the current number of Thurs games but more than that is a bit silly.

    Given that ANZAC eve 2019 is a Wed, I'm wondering if a Thurs night game may come into play for us.

    Happy for Thursday night games if inter state.

    Prefer Friday games if at the g or ethibad (yes, I know). Loved going to those two finals, with post work beers and build up. Made for (very) late nights though.

    it's happening...

    I think they may also soon trial some Sunday night games as well.

    Think about it... the networks already have the sunk costs in the form of the broadcasting rights. Any added variable costs of commentary teams and crew are readily covered by advertising revenue.

    They could start with say WCE V Collingwood at 6pm Perth time.

    Tipping we're getting one Thursday night game - West Coast V Melbourne in July at Optus.

    I think we'll also get 3 Friday night games - one home MCG blockbuster against a big drawing VIC side. An away Etihad game. And one interstate.

    Could have a Friday, then a Thursday before Anzac Eve. Would like that very much.

    Thoughts?

    Just a humble request from an auld curmudgeonly Demons supporter.

    When you post these links, can you post the link to the final destination, eg SEN or AFL, so that we auld curmudgeonly Demons supporters don't have to go to the Evil place?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
