Sounds loud on TV.

 

[The Joker]

Be careful Nic, dont be too tough...

 

[Eagleboy68]

And Eagles cop it in the back twice for no frees

Great chase by Naitanui

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Good chase by NN but that was almost a push in the back. It certainly wasn’t a tackle

 

[Merdel]

Lol yeah great chase and 2 hands in the back nicknat

The shaded part of the ground is already tilting me sideways, can't see the action on TV!

Agreed. WA was already building a new stadium so why not build one with a roof.

It's s**t.

We don't need a roof here, blame Foxtel and the AFL for their s**t scheduling.

concluded there was a negative weight difference, elected not to tackle

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

Eagles kicking is elite

One of only a few teams

The AFL shouldn't need to consider shadows when deciding their fixtures.

Then you risk being like a ethiad team with less exposure to outside conditions.

Youd want to play under a roof on a sunny warm 25 degree day? Perth doesn't need a roof

Twilight should mean twilight. Game should start at 440 local

Thats inconsiderate to us Vics

They don't, the only consider TV times into Vic.

It isn't just to protect from rain. It is also to prevent situations like this where it is hard to see when the ball is moving between the sunny parts of the stadium and the shady parts.

640 primetime ( foxtel only) game - should be no brainer.

It does start at twilight. Eastern time.

lol Grigg

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Day games in Perth are unwatchable on TV.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I've said it before, but how do we get a Rioli? I don't care if they're fat and can't defend.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Delicious!
