Why are Hawthorn hogging the 3:20pm slot?

[TigerTrain23]

Why must the AFL fixture be so poorly thought out that we have the same teams always in the same slots?

Are we really happy having Hawthorn feature so prominently so early on in the season?

Sunday March 31: Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs, MCG (3.20pm)
Sunday April 7: Hawthorn v North Melbourne, MCG (3.20pm)
Sunday April 14: St Kilda v Hawthorn, Marvel Stadium (3.20pm)
Monday April 22: Hawthorn v Geelong Cats, MCG (3.20pm)
Sunday April 28: Hawthorn v Carlton, UTAS Stadium — Launceston (3.20pm)
Sunday May 12: Hawthorn v GWS Giants, MCG (3.20pm)
Sunday May 19: Richmond v Hawthorn, MCG (3.20pm)

The AFL's lack of creativity is becoming increasingly frustrating!

The coveted Sunday slot. * you Hawthorn Hawks FC!

Are you jealous?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We want all of our games at 3:20pm on Sunday.....

Said no one ever.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Oh yeah . Coz 3:20 on a Sunday is such an awesome time slot..
Shut up flog

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Bastards!

They got a monopoly on brown and gold colours as well.

 

[hawkman]

Would have preferred the Tuesday 5am spot but you have to take what you are given

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Sunday games are s**t.

 

[Macpotata]

Good to see a team that plays good football on a Sunday at least. In any case stop ya bitchin it's not like it's Friday night prime time.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

It was a better timeslot when it was 2.10pm

 

[threesixpio]

Good thread would read again

Hahaha now we’re getting s**t for being scheduled the ass end of the schedule

* me it never ends

Pretty disgraceful TBH.

Two weeks in a row I've turned on Fox Footy over the course of the weekend and Hawthorn have been on. TV guide says it will happen for the next 20 rounds too.

 

[Proper Gander]

Could be the most bizarre premise for a thread I have seen.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Yep. The main event at every weekend. Suck s**t Friday night minnows

 

[Nostradumbass]

The 3:20 specialists

 

[Nugett]

Would have preferred the Tuesday 5am spot but you have to take what you are given

Here I was hoping for the 3:30am slot on a Monday morning

 

[Scotland]

Could be the most bizarre premise for a thread I have seen.

First they take the good colours, then they make everyone else pick first in the draft...

Looking forward to the 'Why do St Kilda get to play in China?' thread.

 

[gtrxuone]

Tex is in the backline?

 

[The King!]

I just checked hawthorn have a game every round except one bye. I’m outraged

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

This could be one of the dumbest threads ever.....and That’s an impressive feat

Number of games on Channel 7 in prime time in the first 12 rounds..

Richmond - 8
Hawthorn - 0

 

[Bomberboyokay]

It was a better timeslot when it was 2.10pm

Delayed on free-to-air TV however. With extra ads and timed to finish seconds before 6pm. Easy to forget how s**t coverage was not even a decade ago.
