They aren't as good as Friday or Saturday night but it's a sacrifice we all have to share around as watching games at home on Thursday is much better than anything else on offer. It also helps if the quality of footy is better so you just have to suck it up or the Cats could just finally drop off instead.

Any chance Melbourne V Geelong: Round 20 Friday night MCG?

Not confirmed yet but seems likely. Rounds 20 and 21 will have two Friday night games apparently.
Potentially R20 Friday night could be Melbourne v Geelong and Fremantle v West Coast

Wish there were more Thursday MCG games. It's actually a vibe for the working CBD crowd, with many working from home Friday. I do think the AFL would benefit from starting Thursdays at 7.15 or so though.

Surely a Friday doubleheader with one game starting at 7:30 and the other being a 7pm game in Perth (so will start around 9pm) would make too much sense

It's a bit of a tricky one on Thursday nights, has to be late enough for people to get there after work but early enough to get home on a non-weekend night.
Yeah - given the amount of people who are still clamouring to get in their seats well into Q1 all the way to QT - moving games earlier probably wouldn't work

I see that more as a play from Kayo to move rating teams to pay per view to force more subscribers, all under the guise of what we want.
Someone keep an eye on Dill’s house and if another storey is added on soon.

I was hoping to get down to that game and stay down over the weekend (did that last year) but Thursday night probably makes that trip non-viable. Frustrating
Really hoping WCE-Coll in R22 is Saturday 4:30. Would love to get over and experience Optus for the first time

Looks like we'll be keeping the patented West Coast Sunday graveyard shifts. And fair enough too

I actually need to confirm some dates and I'm depending on this increasingly joke of an organisation to release this bloody fixture. As usual, actual fans and members can in the words of Alice Cooper, Go to Hell. Given half the fixture has already been leaked, what's stopping them from releasing the whole thing?

Melbourne rewarded with their winning attacking brand of football with 1 prime time spot. Less than North, Richmond, St Kilda, Carlton, Essendon & West Coast
