Am I trading this right?
We finally get some Saturday night games and neither of them are stand alone?

I might have jumped the gun as they haven't officially announced the broadcasters, but a Sydney v Vic team is more appealing to 7 Melbourne based executives than a showdown. If Sydney 7 executives get involved then even more so.Am I trading this right?

If Brisbane v Port is a 7 game then 7 in Sydney/NSW don't show it they get to put on the Sydney v Geelong game.
Same with the showdown, 7 in Sydney/NSW don't show it they get to put on the Sydney v Melbourne game.
Its good we go into the Melbourne in both examples above, but MG and KFC would pay more if they knew we would get shown in Sydney more often.

We all know what this means. What happens Port incoming.Well we need to make the most of tomorrow nights national broadcast.
Who knows when we will get another Friday night.
Its good we go into the Melbourne in both examples above, but MG and KFC would pay more if they knew we would get shown in Sydney more often.
You'd be surprised how many people are watching at clubs and pubs on a Friday or Saturday night that are never counted in official ratings stats. Not so much on Saturdays and Sundays.Nobody in Sydney is watching though.
So this is a remaining fixture. After 5 games we have a better understanding of how other teams are performing. WB are at the moment a lot better than anticipated. Same Sydney and Adelaide (for now). Brisbane and Geelong have been quite average for flag fancies.
Anyway, RussellEbertHandball can correct me, but I think we can afford to drop up to 5 games if we want to finish at least top-4. We already dropped one vs WC. That gives us 4. I highlighted below the ones that we would definitely be expected to drop in red, and the potential losses (depending on how teams are travelling) in bold. We still need to beat Geelong, Sydney, StK and Melbourne at home. Possibly both showdowns, which regardless of form are always difficult. Not a lot of margin for error.

The club's top 3 time slots requests in order are Friday night, Saturday night and Saturday twilight.Would it kill the AFL to give us some day games? The only bit of sunlight Port have seen is the first half v Essendon.
