My take from last nights game is that whoever Sydney’s forward line coach is I hope we are right into them with a godfather offer.The amount of space and separation they create for their forwards, the running lanes they create for good high percentage looks at looks at goal on a very small ground is amazing. They are a very well structured forward line.

I think jarrad mcveigh is their forward line coach

Jeremy Cameron has added exactly 100 points over these 3 games.

Most of the Cats team will be sundowning when the game starts

Why is today's game starting at 5:15? I get the afl are preparing us for a potential twilight gf, but surely 4:30 would work better

Tradition! Such a stupid time slot. We've had 3.20 and 4.20 all year.

Hinkley - 12 years

Zero GFs

Finals record 6-9

Imagine he was the Demons coach with that record? 

 

I am still amazed he wasn’t replaced after the ‘21 Prelim Final

It is so that Brisbane can get a flight home tonight if they win - not fair for Sydney to have 36 hours extra rest and they’re minimising that gap

I get that but why 5.15 when we've had other starting times all year?

Ah fair enough. No idea then!

 

The last Virgin flight to Brisbane out of Melbourne is 22:30 which I suppose explains the weird start time. Frankly you'd think that between the AFL and channel 7 they could afford to charter a later plane and make it say a 7pm start

Prime time advertising rates begins at 5.00pm.  At least, that was how it was traditionally

And prime time rates are at least 4 times those times that are outside prime time

Follow the money

That was the Monday-Friday Scenario 

Weekends are on a different time scale. 
FTA TV is a shell of itself compared to what it was in the 80’s

It would be fascinating to know what a 30 Second slot is worth now. 
 

I am hoping for a bears win but I think Geelong will win. Another Geelong flag would be unbearable.


Let's go Brisvegas.

A non Vic GF would be great for the game and two clubs that deserve another premiership.

Geelong can you know what.

Yes, but prime time on weekends would still be a lot more expensive than non prime time slots for the advertisers (on weekends)

Explains why there always seems to be a push for a twilight GF or night GF.  It can't be assumed that the push is coming from the AFL

The networks are looking for a larger, captive audience

Rugby League went to the evenings for their GF (Sunday) for the same reasons

Otherwise, if travel for the teams was the main reason, why not just have the game at 2pm instead

As for FTA TV, the NRL & AFL will continue to be in high demand for the commercial networks.  They need the 2 big sports to survive

And both the NRL & AFL can't go all cable or streaming or they'd lose a large percentage of their audience. The captive audience just isn't big enough in this country

For instance, on the weekends, people are more likely to be home in the evenings as opposed to during the day.  There's local Sport, horse racing, kids sports etc etc on Saturdays and Sundays but mainly before 5pm

Monday to Friday works the same way as most people are at work 9 to 5 (not all, but most)

 

Edited by Macca

Massive game for Fagan and the Lions

First GF in 20 years on the line

Have they matured and learnt from their mistakes?

if they bring intensity run and good kicking all game they gave the talent to beat the Cats comfortably 

Cameron is the difference though 23 goals in 5 weeks. Keep him quiet and game won

Having spent 2 years working in the Advertising Department of GTV when Kerry ran the joint, we did a lot of Research into all the things you mention.

 
But I don’t buy it so much today. People will watch Sports on an iPhone now, so you don’t have to be home at a certain time.

I watched last year’s GF on the AFL  website Live on the phone, this push for the night timeslot is overrated, as are Fireworks and Halftime entertainment

Ha, yes. Remembered my error later on. 

Didn’t watch the GF last year and don’t have idea what the score was

Skills are shockingly bad so far

Both sides very nervous

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
