7-6 night
9-0 day.

Not that selective - they gave all of the information

Not all. They would have included the 7 wins.

My point was the tweet was skewed. If nobody checked the panic would have set in.

It's pretty clear that 7 games are left after 15 are described.

It's not like when someone says we won 86% of our games, people are wondering "gee, I wonder how many we lost?"

That tweet seems to accurately describe ~50% night record and 100% day record, which is its point.

Was 2016 the exception? I always feel like we save our worst performances for day games.

I like that stat. It has some nice truthiness to it. We prefer to ping the ball upfield at high velocity rather than grind through damp slug fests.

Do good teams get prioritised for night matches? I'm sure that's the case for Friday nights at least.

This would be true, but Carlton, Collingwood and Richmond have received loads of night games (particularly Friday) over the last few seasons

seeing as this thread is about how far away are we, what's the bet the year we finally make a grand final is the year they shift it to Saturday night?

We tend to play the quality teams in night games.
