Couldn't see this anywhere else on Demonland and think it's worth a thread. Sam Edmund from SEN reported yesterday that the start time for Friday night games may change from 7.50 pm Melbourne time to 7.20 pm. However, I haven't seen any follow up news, so not sure whether it's true or not. I would support such a change.

Thats good.  Now that I think about it, 7 50 pm was way too late to start.  Must have had something to do with $$$$

The late finish times are a major deterrent for most people attending or watching games, particularly with children. The earlier the better as far as I'm concerned, and that goes for Sunday afternoon games as well.

Forget the children. As I get older it's getting too late for me too. Even watching on TV.

remember when games used to start at 7.10pm but channel 7 wouldn't start showing them til about 8.50pm?

But Bourke's Backyard was a must watch for all of Australia...

Not only did they not start the program until 8:30 but as you say they would then go through all the pre game (which was really about advertising) before showing the game at 8:50

LOL my god I had forgotten about that rubbish, Bourke's back yard ffs.

 

Any idea when the 7:20pm starts commence?

Not that we ever play Friday night games, but I actually prefer the 7:50 later starts. Plenty of time for dinner and a couple of frothies after work and you're not rushed.

What do you expect when Channel 7 decisions on AFL football are made by "boffins" in SYDNEY.  They have no real understanding of best times to start/finish as it's all about advertising dollars which now control the broadcasting times of our game. Gil is over a barrel, bum exposed and too weak to stand up to them.

The second issue with Channel 7 is their support of just plain ordinary commentators. They could start a cull with Brian Taylor, Brayshaw and that waste of space Luke Darcy. JOBS FOR THE BOYS must be cleaned up. Fortunately I have Foxtel with different commentators (Eddie has to stop screaming) but with Melbourne playing so well we have FTA commentary coming thru Foxtel often now. Grrrrrrrr

why 7:20? why not 7:00 or 7:30 which better aligns with tv programming times

i'd prefer 7:00 personally but even 7:30 would be better than 7:50 (talking game start, not pregame stuff)

cos at 7.20pm it means that they can begin broadcast at 7pm with two ad breaks before the bounce at 7.20pm

Well on television the pre-game coverage starts around 7 anyway, so if we move the actual game to 7.10 but keep the same timeslot we have successfully eliminated about half an hour of the 'I think I'm a comedian slash bogan wedding MC from the 80s' show.

Back then people used to say that they put on a delayed telecast so as to run two ads after every goal instead of one. ?

I liked when channel 10 did Saturday nights coz I liked “Before The Game,” the show that was on, well, before the game. But I didn’t like that they ran the clock up. I prefer the clock running down so as you know when the siren is gonna sound.

thanks for explanation.....quite obvious really

for me personally i hate the pregame game stuff anyway so always bypass it. I'm often watching something else on another channel that finishes at 7:30, hence my preference for game start at 7:30

AFL 360 had the starting time for the Dogs v Dees Friday night at 7PM EST.

That's when their coverage starts. Game time still listed as 7:50pm

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
