Just realised this weeks game is a twilight game which I already detest. Then I rocked up to footy training tonight and found out where playing twilight footy on Sunday night:mad::mad::mad:. Why do the AFL (and EDFL) continue with this stupid fixture I don't think many people enjoy them and can't see the problem with another Sunday afternoon game.
 
What about it is silly? It's early enough to take kids but late enough to actually do something else during the day. I have no problems with it.
 
This is once again a TV driven time slot.

Channel 7 I believe came up with idea a few years ago, but in the end Foxtel has taken the timeslot up.

As for the games at the G, it is because they are trying to play as few night games there during the cold winter months as possible, so they see the twilight timeslot as ideal.

I dont have a real problem with it, but then again, to my knowledge this is the 1st time Collingwood has had to play at this time in Melbourne.

One things for sure, it's a better time slot then &^*%ing Monday night.:thumbsu:

Hence why I forgot about both games.;)
 
twilight game Sunday = not going.

flipping bullsh1t. Friday night; saturday anytime, even Sunday arvo but not frigging sunday night games.
:mad:
 
Some people go on about it as if its played at midnight. Do people go to bed at 9pm on a Sunday or what is the problem here?
 
Midnight would be better. I hate Sunday games all together, just takes the whole day away. The footy being on is great but I like Saturday/Friday footy better you get all of Sunday to feel good after a win or to hide after a loss.

It also doesn't help that I leave most of my uni work up to Sunday night as I am a pro(fessional)crastinator.

Also I have basketball Sunday nights.
 
Nothing Wrong with a Sunday Twilight Game...it finishes early enough for most unless like was suggested earlier your in bed by nine.... the following week is a 2.10pm Monday Game thats not gonna get a huge crowd as most people will still be at work... Ill be there though.... Dunno WTF the AFL are thinking with these new times

...that's a joke right?
if not...make sure you look at the bit that says queens birthday :)
only people that luck out are some workers or uni students who don't get the day off (stupid melbourne uni :( )
 
I'm not too much of a fan of attanding the twilight timeslot but enjoy being able to watch the third Sunday game on tv after the standard 2.10pm game finishes.

The fact is that it is here to stay for commercial reasons and support will most likely get stronger for it as people become more used to the time slot.

When I first read this thread I thought it was something else about that bl00dy movie twilight.... Good film but sick of the popularity of it.

Hawthorn games was a great game, and had a massive chance to win it, if we kicked straight (sound like a broken record) Bulldogs game would have won if Rocca and Reid didnt go down with injuries leaving us with 2 fit on the bench.... I dont mind Twilight games.....

Dude sometimes I'm like my parents totally don't understand me and they're all sunshine and happiness when the world is so dark. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep wishing I was a vampire.
 
I like to use Sunday to mentally repair or prepare myself for the week ahead. I love to talk about Jebus all the do dah day long too.

Sunday is bad, but twilight, bah, forget about it. Won't turn up, just like people who hold parties on Sundays.
 
Bloody hell. I can't believe the backlash here. People aren't going because it interferes with your dinner?

I'll be there. Side-By-Side.

Its a Home Game @ The MCG. Geez

Nah not much weirdness. Just trying out Monday night football They need to find another time slot that really works and Monday night footy works incredibly well in the US (They don't play on Saturdays. Every game of NFL is played on Sunday bar 1 that is Monday night.)

Queens B'day always = Melb V Coll. That's normal.

Sunday Twilight matches have been around for a few years now.

What do you think is weird about this year?

I hate sunday games all together. Being at 2.10 or 4.40 makes no difference.

Saturday 2.10 at the G, nothing better!
 
My brother and I are going, l picked up tickets today and also got tix for the Queens Birthday clash, got 2nd row even though it the southern stand couldn't get ponsford.

Sunday night is usually a shit dinner anyways because we are at the movies. popcorn and coke is our sunday dinner
