Time to expand your horizons. Go for a walk, see some friends, go to the gym, visit your parents.
This is such a pretentious comment. People arw allowed to watch every possible game they want. It doesn't automatically mean they don't have a life or need advice on what to do instead.

Absolutely disgraceful.

I think the AFLW GF was always planned on Saturday arvo by the AFL, with the assumption that the Crows team does not make the grand final and play at home.
Or they could simply have not scheduled Port or Crows to play on a Saturday. Surely it is not that hard to run game in a competent manner?

I dont think it was due to Adelaide specifically. I thought I heard Gil saying that it wouldve been done this way regardless because even had Kangas made the final as home team for example then it still wouldn't have been then because it was hard to clear out the stadium etc for the mens match.

Exactly, I have other things to do at night in my life!!! My night life does not revolve around sitting down and watching the footy. I would rather do that in the afternoon!!

Commercially the bookmakers will not be happy as turnover has to be down with games all played at once. Loss of sponsorship....etc

Why did the AFL prioritise a fringe event with free entry before proper league fixture with paying entry?

The VFL has to work round the AFL schedule and not the other way round.

If they could move the AFLW game to Sunday then surely they could've moved Ess-Saints forward by 2 hours.

Better to have a few people angry at a late time change than everyone pissed off waiting for a game to start.

Last weekend before country footy starts. Pretty disappointing there has been nothing.
At least it allowed the wife and I to watch more of The OA.

which would be an example of even more utter incompetence by the AFL/AFLW this season

There is no reason why the AFLW GF could not have been played today. I don't want to hear any excuses about a 6-day break.
