In a rare case of common sense, it looks like the AFL will return to Thursday night announcement of teams (story on their website) which I expect will be met with widespread approval among Demonland posters.

They surveyed 13,313 fans and 94.5% voted for a return to a long-standing tradition in our game.  

 
 

Good to see the AFL is at least in touch with 5.5% of fans.

It's only minor but that is a nice bit of (rare) common sense from the AFL.

And agree on the above re music at the ground. I think a survey on that would yield very similar results. But I assume that may be on the home club as much as it is on the AFL?

Gerard Whateley predicted a couple of weeks this would happen by Round 8. The sooner the better.

This one I disagree with. I find I'm not ready on a Thursday night for a game of football.

couldn't find a link.  does this apply from this week?

I don't think it's been officially decided. Rather, someone in the media has found out the results of the survey and assumed (wisely? unwisely?) that the AFL would respond to the 95%.

Have a look under the "news" drop-down menu.  It's in the "latest news" category.

I and three of my friends just completed the survey, but only 2 of us voted yes for Thursday night team announcements.

Based on that, does the percentage go up or down?

More information please. Was your mass increasing or decreasing?

Here’s the link, no confirmation but it does point to it likely happening. 
https://www.afl.com.au/news/607851/push-for-thursday-night-teams-reveal-gathering-ceo-steam

Definitely agree with this for a number of reasons; firstly this gives us a much clearer picture to tip with, secondly this gives the media something to really discuss, finally it’s more engagement for the fans through the week. Glad they’ve come to their senses on this, I don’t think the coaches will be pleased though. 


Would like to see all teams posted 2 days before games.

Being a team that usually gets the Sunday slots, we are most of the time, waiting on the eve of the game to know the selections. This leaves hardly any time to discuss, analyse and criticise. Instead, we spend too much time hypothesising.  

Thursday games post Tuesday 6.30 pm, Friday games could post Wednesday 6.30pm, may be problematic, though the Sunday team would know who it is selecting on the Friday night.

I hope they make logical decisions about team postings and adjust with more than the Thursday night announcements.

Addit, they propose that Sunday teams be announced on Friday, Thursday would be squad posts.

Would love, more time to hear the social network brain trust's thoughts on match ups, wrong selections, possible rearrangements, the game plan, and the general expectations of the team.

Round 13 it returns with a vfl match on kayo/fox footy until then

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
