As predicted, the Darwin fiasco has led to us losing the Friday night against the Dogs in Round 20, with a Saturday night game given instead. So Essendon v Sydney gets the Friday night slot.

Should at least be on Channel 7.

Friday, July 23
Port Adelaide v Collingwood at Adelaide Oval, 6.45pm ACST

Saturday, July 24
Hawthorn v Brisbane at the MCG, 1.45pm AEST
Sydney v Fremantle at GMHBA Stadium, 1.45pm AEST
Essendon v GWS Giants at Marvel Stadium, 4.35pm AEST
Gold Coast v Melbourne at TIO Stadium, 6.55pm ACST
West Coast v St Kilda at Optus Stadium, 5.40pm AWST

Sunday, July 25
Western Bulldogs v Adelaide at Mars Stadium, 12.40pm AEST
Geelong v Richmond at the MCG, 1.45pm AEST
Carlton v North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, 4.40pm AEST

Round 20

Friday, July 30
Essendon v Sydney at Marvel Stadium, 7.50pm AEST

Saturday, July 31
North Melbourne v Geelong at Blundstone Arena, 1.45pm AEST
Brisbane v Gold Coast at the Gabba, 3.20pm AEST
St Kilda v Carlton at Marvel Stadium, 4.35pm AEST

Still pisses me off that the GC game has changed. 

How the fruit tingle do collywobbles get a Friday night game.

What a joke.

Is the spin off in having prime time viewing slots being able to attract club sponsors or is there some sort of a direct monetary correlation ? 

I'd guess that both those games would now be the free to air Channel 7 matches with those time slots. Thankfully I'll be at the second one and won't have to listen to BT & Brayshaw.

It's just annoying that we miss out on a friday night game because we have to play in darwin. 

I mean come on the top 2 teams most likely get shafted to the Saturday night game and essendon get another free hit on a friday night. 

As I said it wouldn't happen to collingwood or richmond or geelong if they were on top and have been for the season.

Fair enough though, after their great win against the Crows, aren't Essendon back to premiership favourites?

Never befriend anyone who gets married during the footy season. 

I don’t think we will get less people at the game being a Saturday night. In fact I think we will get more. It’s a much more family friendly and work friendly time slot. And still FTA exposure. Really no complaints and most importantly we get a decent break after that joke of a fixture in round 19!

I don't get what the difference is between free-to-air on a Friday night and free-to-air on a Saturday night. Both are equally attractive to me.

The worst scheduling is the Saturday twilight "pink women" game this weekend. Ruins the whole idea with the poor timeslot.

The game time is most likely driven by The Dogs playing Sunday.

They could have switched the Dogs to Saturday and Syd/Freo to Sunday

Friday night is one game national telecast.

Saturday night... two games split telecast

Guess what our sponsors like

Not sure if this has been asked before, but with our contract of one game in NT each season, does the GC game count, and we'll be paid in full as per contract?

This is the most important question.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
