Sorry mate I'm confused, are you saying prime time in only FTA times? Or just the more generally traditional time slots?
Mitch35 was asking about Friday and Saturday nights on free-to-air. These three are our only ones.

So this is where you've been hiding for the past 20 years...
Ahhok, prime time would include Saturday day and Sunday day games too tho. Even tho 3;20 Sunday isn't traditional, it is now the Sunday prime time game being shown on FTA.Mitch35 was asking about Friday and Saturday nights on free-to-air. These three are our only ones.
Six Friday night games for Carlton? FFS did we learn nothing from the torture of watching them this year?
Not really fussed with the fixture. Not going to get any prime time games being last on the ladder I'd just like to see more MCG games.
I hope they lose every game by a point so they can keep thinking they're contenders! Only to see them fall off a cliff that will take 10 years to climb back up from.Hopefully they get pumped!

We also have a couple of 2:10 Saturday games.

Doesn't look like Wellington though.For those looking to go to the New Zealand game, there's a sale on flights to New Zealand with JetStar: $191/return from Melbourne.

Would rather save a couple hundred bucks on flights and have to catch a cheap bus or train ride.Doesn't look like Wellington though.
not really. I just dont see how only Friday night & Saturday night can be classified as the only primetime games. I'd say saturday afternoon & sunday afternoon games are primetime too, hence why Channel 7 has the rights to those games.On that assessment nearly every time slot for AFL is prime time? Generally, prime time television in Australia is considered to be from 6:00pm to 10:00pm

Despite the fact you're purely talking hypotheticals, we finished last so what do you expect?Not quite. Prime time refers to the period of time where there is the biggest audiences for television and also the most competition. You don't see the big networks screening their latest shows (e.g. X-Factor) on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Channel 7 continues the rights to Saturday and Sunday afternoons because there is very little competition in these time slots apart from the odd V8 Supercar race for AFL watchers.
My issue with not getting many night FTA time slots is the fact they have the highest viewership - which is great for the exposure of our team, and most importantly our sponsors. It just makes our fixture less tempting for big sponsors to sign on, because the TV coverage is a significant part of the deal. So we can possibly expect less sponsorship dollars in our bank for next year, or at the least, expect them not to increase in comparison to the bigger clubs. So there is one source of revenue for the club which isn't going to expand in 2015. You combine that with our deal with Etihad Stadium where we need approximately 30,000 to break even....
Going off timeslots, previous crowds etc. I think we can expect this in terms of financial performance for our home games.
So out of the 9 home games we get at Etihad...
So overall we have 4-5 games where we will actually make money in 2015.
- 3 where I think we can get above 30,000
- 3 where we will be lucky to get 30,000 (Hopefully a bigger crowd for Richmond)
- 3 where we have no chance of getting 30,000

Just seen on twitter that if all goes to plan and Roo plays the year out without missing a game he'l play his 300th in Round 19 vs Fremantle at Etihad.
Usually it's a retirement or two but now possibly the skippers 300th!
That reminds me that Dal also likely to play his 300th next year at North. Makes me a little sad.

Hate to be this person... Roo is on 281 games, so his 19th game next year, factoring in the bye, would be round 20 v North in Hobart.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...n-clash-against-st-kilda-20141101-11fc56.htmlCarlton is open to turning its maiden Anzac Day trip to Wellington next year into an annual fixture.
Blues chief executive Steven Trigg said the Blues would consider an annual trip across the Tasman.
"That is a possibility. It's not a difficult exercise straight across the Tasman from here, obviously. I don't know what the AFL's view is but we would certainly have an open mind," he said.
Trigg said the Blues were "delighted" to have the opportunity next season.
"We would like to make as much of it culturally as we can with St Kilda and we will be sitting with them shortly to see how that comes together," he said.
