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.

Round 19

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.

    Why? The Suns are giving up their home game. It’s probably a bit of an advantage to us to play them at a neutral venue.

    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?

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

    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!

    Our flights back from GC were changed from Saturday arvo on the 31st to Sunday arvo on the 1st, so my family and I got dudded twice.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
