Winning that last game is critical for us and given we play the last Sunday game in Perth the previous round we would be happy getting a 7 day break given we are playing against Richmond who are also likely to be fighting for a finals spot.Wheres the logic in having West Coast/Crows play on a Saturday night over us?
12pm feels like mid morning on a Sunday.
Weird time for an AFL game.
With Thursday night games many rounds Sunday noon or twilight are pointless. Just make every round:Who came up with a 12pm timeslot? Someone at AFL House needs a concussion test.
I agree but always struggle to understand why?The league treats port with complete and utter contempt at every juncture and decision point
FFS. Stop whining.I’ve never heard of a game start at midday before. You know what it would be? It would be so Richmond can get on a plane home and prepare for mad Monday in time. * the vfl
Yeah, I think they've just done this so there is limited to no overlap with other games and gives the broadcaster a bit of time to talk rubbish between games.I suspect they've taken a leaf out of the NFL playbook here. Games in the central timezone of the USA have games on Sunday which typically start at noon, before rolling into a 3pm arvo timeslot and then a 720pm primetime slot (1pm, 4pm and 820pm for the East Coast).
Absolutely no idea how an early timeslot of midday will work here though. In the USA you've got the tailgate traditions where fans eat and drink themselves silly for 5 hours before the game starts anyway. But we don't exactly have that here.
Maybe they want the Port v Richmond game to be finished so they can organise the rig properly.Who came up with a 12pm timeslot? Someone at AFL House needs a concussion test.
I've got a mates birthday party the night before, if I'm there at all I'll be there with sunglasses on and arms firmly folded.Midday kick off bloody hell.
We are the away team once a year at the MCG it seems, and I reckon we have been the away team a couple of times in Alice Springs playing Melbourne, but I reckon the last home game in the 2.50pm time slot was the Phil Walsh showdown in 2015.The dreaded early Sunday slot? When did we last get a Sunday 2:50pm slot at home? Seems to be a vic-exclusive slot for some reason
