AFL: The whole idea of the rolling fixture was to give the better teams the better time-slots.

Also AFL: Yeah, nah, here's 3 Essendon games in a row on Friday nights.

I heard Caro on AA yesterday (OK, I know) and she said that some clubs (inc Collingwood) and some tourist bodies (e.g. Tasmania) are unhappy with the floating fixture because it makes it hard for fans to plan travel, family events etc when they don't know the fixture far enough in advance. I think they're right.

Shouldn't be an issue for Collingwood since they hardly leave Victoria.

Surprised Hardwick hasn't made any comments about having to 'travel' all the way to Marvel Stadium.

That was always the reason given for NOT having a floating fixture.

Eventually the TV money won the argument, as money always does when Gil the Dill is involved in decision making.

TV money wins out then the AFL screws them over by scheduling the blockbuster that is Essendon vs West Coast on a Friday night
 
14 years! What’s it like being a newbie?
I think we need an FAQ somewhere for us clueless n00bs to save us the embarrassment of having to ask what the hell people are talking about.

Right now I'm doing the internet equivalent of sitting there laughing along awkwardly with everyone else to try and pretend I'm in on the joke :p

Haha, but to be fair, both clubs have interstate supporters who might want to travel to Vic, and they probably don't mind having more oppo supporters to boost the gate takings. I think all clubs would be wanting to make it easier for their supporters to travel but yes, especially the non-Vic clubs.

Has it really "won", though? It's not looking like the games they are scheduling in prime time are all actual ratings blockbusters.
