Gold Coast and GWS have cost $394 million over 10 years while at the same time St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs have cost $353 million and Gold Coast and GWS have at least expanded the game. The Bulldogs and St Kilda have not done that.

I don't believe there's ever been a 2 decade period where we have only made finals once.

‘Work in progress’: Hawks cash out of pokies venue
Hawthorn are halfway out of pokies, but have given no indication of when or if they will disassociate themselves altogether.

The Hawks’ huge windfall: Club makes $40m from pokies sale
The Hawks have made $40m from the sale of their poker machine assets, but the club isn’t planning to spend any of the money on its planned new base at Dingley.

Shortening your username when addressing you wasn’t meant to offend or be used to ‘burn’. Apologies if you took it this way.
Back on topic, Sat night slots aren’t coveted by clubs for exposure as ratings are significantly lower than Friday and Thurs night games.
Not sure where you got this belief that they were.

I’d be happy with this as well. I’m also sure the AFL and broadcasters wouldn’t have an issue either.
But I’m not sure the Freo footy club is. It would hinder stadium attendances.
Away games
It’s the same for us every Friday. We are use to 5:40 starts and I like it as the kids can watch the whole game without it being too late.
The AFL making us play at 3:10pm on Friday during gather round is an absolute stitch up.
Same when they did double headers on Friday night for covid and started the games at 3pm in Perth as the lead in. Crowds are all at work, Perth should be the 2nd game or bring forward the Melbourne start time to 6pm and 2nd game starts at 9pm Melbourne time.

Yep, and for those without kids or with kids too old to care, it's all good. You can start at the pub at 530 for the first quarter and a half, make your way home midway through the second, leaving enough time to be on the couch at home with a tinnie ready for the second half kick off. You do miss the incredibly perceptive entertaining analysis of Daisy and the Duck in the half time break, but life without sacrifice is a pipedream
1. Lol. I wasn’t offended, I think it was a lame attempt to belittle me and I told you as much.
Also don’t try to pull it off as an abbreviation, you made a point of spelling it filth and repeatedly using that word.
There’s no doubt you thought it was some kind of sick burn.
2. **** off teams don’t covet sat night slots.
Might as well piss on me and tell me it’s raining.
Of course teams want those sat night slots. Your continued attempts to paint up and down and day as night are either the work of a troll or an idiot, and I can’t tell which.

Would def be easier to attend early evening games on the Sat. But the ratings for these games on the eastern seaboard are generally poor. Particularly if it’s the second game that’s consigned to subscription tv.And the lack of Saturday night games as well
I’m going to end the convo here but try to insult you by saying you’re irrational
Sure.
You made an absurd claim that blues got shit timeslots and only got good timeslots when they were good, and got called out for it. Nothing irrational about my behaviour here.
