Opinion The Scheduling Of An AFL Round (Start Times)

[Mitchell Madness]

Bump. 3:20 sucks. We've got a glorious winter's day yet we're playing half the KB game in the dark/freezing cold! This fixture should kick off at 1:45 with a red sherrin ffs. C7 can eat one

Edit: It's also a massive waste of electricity lighting up the G unnecessarily. Awful timeslot for a stand alone game

Agreed.
No public holiday game stand alone game should start as late as this is

Agree

When daylight savings finishes night games need to start at 7.10pm not 7.40pm

Public Hollday games need a 2pm or 2.30pm start not this 3.20pm / straight into the 6pm rate it's t*ts off news rubbish time slot

More Thursday night games - IMO should be one every week

Maybe the Kings Birthday would work better having the game first at 2pm and then The Big Freeze at 5pm afterwards rather than before?

Players from the game could then be involved as participants too and the charities may benefit even more by the extra eyeballs?

Be great when WA gets the Festival of Perth round (similar to Gather Round) for the June long weekend
