Eddie declares Saturday football is ‘kaput’

Former Collingwood godfather Eddie McGuire has declared the AFL will scrap Saturday afternoon football fixtures as a result of diminishing spectator interest.

Eddie wants it gone but I love the 2pm Saturday Arvo slot. I hope they don't get rid of it.

Day footy provides the best atmosphere to watch the game. Night footy is boring and I usually turn it off half way through if it isn't my team playing.

Don't get rid of Saturday Arvo.
Eddie needs to shut up already and retire.
What's you're thoughts.

Has Eddie forgotten that in order to keep the game growing, there needs to be kid friendly times for games to bring the next generation through so they can be at the game.

 

[Shane Heard]

It’s a yes from me of course and I’d like to know how that narcissist nut job McGuire thinks you’re going to squeeze in all those games every weekend without a Saturday afternoon?

He thinks he speaks for the people.

He still believes he’s a important voice of reason in the footy universe if he just keeps talking and talking and crapping on endlessly.

#### off Ed back to your Toorak mansion and retire from media.

Enough is enough.

oh..and cease your commentary of games too. You’re an embarrassment to the game.

Eddie has Kane Cornes disease

IMO day footy provides the best quality of games.

 

[raskolnikov]

Eddie is still relevant?

Won't be his problem

This on the back of his absurd notion Friday night that "we're all coming to accept reduced quarters is the future."

Arrogant ******* w***er. Try asking the fans you peanut.

Coming up with bullsh*t on the spot isn't a debate. Never heard anyone else argue against Saturday afternoon football.

Well put. That's exactly what this is.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Great idea.

Go watch local footy.

100% and it's the best time slot to attend games

 

[Pocket Terrace]

Nothing better than Saturday arvo games at the MCG with a red sherrin

 

[00Stinger]

Really have to wonder how long this arrogant, self centered racist has managed to stay relevant

Surely it is time to * him and his opinion off the tv for good. His time has passed

 

[Pistol Night]

Dont mind it. Pies get flogged early and i can enjoy the rest of the day

Sunday twilight can * off though

 

[Ron The Bear]

Going to the footy is on the nose, generally. Wouldn’t be drawing conclusions about any specific timeslot at the moment.

Haven’t been since Round 4 and if they shorten the game, I won’t go back. Stop *en interfering, AFL.

 

[RAPPA]

So does this DH think Saturday afternoon games are less than the $hit house Sunday afternoon timeslots?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Sunday twilight can fu** off though

Move Sunday Twilight to Thursday Night.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Excuses excuses

Football is dieing in Victoria. Just admit it already

 

[Golden_6]

Local football is the issue IMO. I personally haven’t seen a Saturday arvo match in years. It just takes a huge amount of potential spectators away.

It's a pity other states are too lazy to do anything about it though.

The WAFL should start up a super league to save footy.

Western Australian Footy is in even bigger trouble— did you see the crowd for the Derby a few weeks ago.

I would prefer Monday night or even Sunday Night footy

 

[Tas]

I much prefer Saturday afternoon to Sunday games.
