Is it time to, or even a good idea to, lock the timeslots for the nine Finals each year? What I mean is - The AFL have, over time, used many different reasonings to justify scheduling of Finals, particularly in the first week. Things like (a) ensuring a "big" matchup on Friday night to kick...

It's nothing new in sports broadcasting really, and came to the fore in Australia in 2013 when the NRL started using it instead of painted on-field advertising. I think the NRL do it really well, basically using it to replace the painted ads and not having images jumping out of the field and...

Currently the AFL has a system of "make it up as we go along" for many things they do, including the scheduled days and venues of Finals. Geelong get a final at Simonds because (a) the MCG was being used already that day (b) they figured it was big enough for the anticipated crowd (c) they...

This may have been discussed but I can't find anything recent. Preamble: With a few exceptions for various reasons, the recent format of the Finals has seen the standard Friday Night, Saturday Afternoon, Saturday Night, Sunday Afternoon matches, with the Qualifying Finals played at night and the...

Geelong fly all of their Flags above the northern end of Kardina Park on home games. I like this, but for a club who hasn't won a flag in numerous years, it'd be a bit weird to start doing it until they have a new flag to fly next to it. What does each team do with their Flags, if anything, on...

I don't know for how many years now the AFL has painted the competing clubs' logos on the 50m arc instead of "50", with one at each end. Sometimes it looks good due to Sydney having the same colour as the red and white arc, and sometimes it looks a bit funny because Hawthorn get the red and...

So, all CWC venues are required by the ICC on either 31 January or 1 Feburary (can't remember source or exactly how that was worded). Which means, unless domestic matches continue through February/March at non-CWC venues, even the Shield, Ryobi and BBL will be completed by the end of Janurary...

Just discovered (sorry if I'm late) that the NRL have moved from the McIntyre Final Eight System (the one ditched by the AFL for the current system in 2000) to the current AFL system. Made me think What do people think of the current system? What are the drawbacks/positives? What would you do...

Discussion around of a new clash kit for Carlton next year, as the Baby Blue is unloved (as a Sturt supporter in the SANFL I can't for the life of me understand why :p ). Any suggestions/ideas? I'm guessing they won't be simply reverting to the white clash with navy monogram, numbers and side...

Hey everyone :) So I know a lot of people have posted portfolios recently and maybe I’m just following the crowd a little here but I wanted to post my ideas too. Here’s the difference though. I’ve thought for a while that the generic “home”, “away” and “clash” idea doesn’t quite work. Why play...

Should the Essendon clash be on the 2010 adidas template? Or is that just me being nit picky?
