Doesn't make any sense to me either for tonight or for a GF.  Surely if the AFL just has to drop the afternoon GF (for fear of not maximising $ or whatever), then a normal night game is far more sensible than 4:30pm.

That will happen a few years later. 

We want a Day game, the Broadcaster wants a night game. 

The change will slowly happen

but what about the sacrosanct news show which so few watch.

Thought they could never cut into the news.

Have discovered Succession...great TV

Just at the Sydney airport waiting to fly back to Melbourne, I think a lot of people have seriously underestimated the level of support the Giants have. I have seen four people in Giant Jumpers.

But I don't see how doing it gradually makes any sense: 4:35, 5:00, 5:30:6:30, 7:30???    It's not something that can be achieved by creeping up on us.  Or are we boiling frogs?

I want a Day game. But the NRL Final has shown Ch 7 what they will have in time. 

4.35 will become 7.30

Money on it

Is todays timeslot due to GWS able to get home tonight if they win so they aren't staying in melbourne another night? Because if it was at night they wouldn't get back in time for the sydney airport curfew.

But go gws today. I just don't think I could survive a week of a rich/coll gf build up. Last year I went to sydney to get out of the gf for the weekend, this year I can't afford to go anywhere plus I have to work the next day.

I thought that might be it but wanted confirmation.

Begs the question of why today's game was not played last night and R v G tonight

That might be the AFL's thinking and fair enough too but, if so, there's no reason the game couldn't be played at the usual 2.10 or even 2.30 timeslot.   4.35 makes no sense at all to me.

The Filth on our home ground fighting for yet another Flag

Still blame hawthorn for giving the pies an easy ride to the prelim with gifting them a  top 4 chance. Seeing Joffa and all the filth fans walking over the bridge chanting just makes you want to throw up. Hopefully he is looking miserable at the end. Ed to in the stands, hopefully he is looking angry. 

Interesting to hear David Teague and some of the carlton players were there last night obviously wanting to see his players gain insight to what finals footy is about. I know we were in a prelim last year but some of our young boys that haven't had finals experience hopefully have tuned in to see what finals is all about.

Feeling ill i can't stand either club.  Eddie everywhere might just tip me over the edge for a giant win

If you are mumford you would just bang straight into grundy 1st bounce.

Two frees in the first 2 min to the Filth...Grundy holding on as well fm

Mummy has nothing to lose ...he needs to be his usual 'crash in' self to put Grundy off a tad

Cameron plays the way I always hoped Hogan would for us.

Can goal and can play a dominant chf role when needed

Leave Tomlinson and throw a giant bucket at Cameron next year a la Gazza's suggestion?
