Broncos playing Rabittohs right now in Brisbane. Good crowd, Broncos smashing them but game still looks good. Can't help but think AFL is missing an opportunity to promote the game by not having regular Thursday night matches.

Very hard to do the fixture without either having 5 day breaks o

Two teams have a bye on same weekend and follow up playing each other after their bye on the Thursday night the following round. Do that for 9 Thursday's in a row and everyone has had a bye once, then we go back to 9 games a weekend. Be very easy to do.
That's less than half the season though, so doesn't really qualify as enough to be 'regular'.

Agreed. That's the only reason why I'm against it.I would hate for it to involve my team in terms of going to a home game.

Agree with this. Thursday night would provide a big boost to TV ratings, but apart from Friday public holidays and school holidays, it's not so good for actually attending.I don't like it, because it seriously wipes out the chances of attending for kids and for those who live further than about an hour or so from the ground. I mean, I love it from a TV perspective, but it's a s**t night to actually go to the footy.
