Would you like to see the Festival of Footy become a permanent fixture?

[Fat Nyfe]

I’d like to hear people’s thoughts, but personally I’m loving the nightly footy. Partly because I’m stuck here at home in Victoria, but it’s great to have AFL to watch every night. Like the Big Bash fixture but better.

Once things get back to normality next year onwards, do you want to see something like this remain? I.e. a scheduled 3 week block of games every night, in between regular rounds. Fixturing, breaks between games and fairness for teams can be talked about to death but I just love the idea of it.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Maybe do it around the bye period every year?

Feels like the preseason a few years back when they'd have a meaningless match everyday. Reality is there aren't enough compelling matches to be having footy everynight. There isn't a must see match until Port vs Richmond on Saturday twilight.

Dynamic fixturing would work better where you have the most important games in the primetime slots from Thursday night to Saturday night.

Footy on everynight is probably good though for Victorians under house arrest.

Also, nothing is ever going back to normal.

We're only 6 months away from the 2021 preseason good chance there will be no crowds in Victoria next year as well. I'm not sure how teams will even train in Victoria if there is still community transmission. If there are crowds maybe a few thousand at most. Will send some clubs to the wall.

In footy terms.

No

I think it's only good for TV. Negative for people attending the games and all clubs, players, coaches etc. Doubt it would happen but I'd enjoy it for a couple of weeks mid season. Would be difficult to make the fixture fair though

 

[Cleavy]

no, and no to shortened quarters too

 

[RearNaked]

Are you dumb ?

In footy terms.

Hello, hello ..... 2022 a chance.

 

[Ok Boomer]

So basically the no reasons so far have been "because the games haven't been good", because they were all so great before this round, virus fear mongering or there has been no elaboration at all.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

It’s good for TV. s**t for attending games. It’s a no for me.

 

[Taylor]

I'd like it if the U18s was played some nights instead of AFL sides to get the 4 day breaks off the table.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday night are WA, SA, Vic C, VIC m, Northern Allies, Southern Allies

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Absolutely not.

 

[Davey33]

no, and no to shortened quarters too

well it would never work with the full games

 

[bresker]

I like to go to games so no thanks

 

[Altum Volantes]

2 games a day.

Each team.

Season done in 2 weeks + 1 week of finals.

So much less hassle.

 

[Greenac]

It would be fantastic and would add another dimension to list management.

 

[Dazzler9]

Long live Covid19 and nightly footy!

Festival of s**t

Are you dumb ?

I thought I’d give the Bigfooty main forum another shot, so yeah probably.

Compromise/optimised fixture:

Footy 5 days a week. 8 games.

Thursday - 1 game
Friday - 1
Saturday - 3
Sunday - 2
Monday - 1
Tuesday - 0
Wednesday - 0

Only if this 8pm curfew continues into the future

This is completely illogical.

In a 17 round season there are obviously way less 'meaningless' games.

This is just beyond argument. Its a fact.

Add to that your "must see" game is only 3 days away.

Then you have dogs v lions... In only 3 days.

I suspect you cant recall how many meaningless games.....Even entire rounds..... Happen in the average year.

?
How many games do u go to live per week usually?

Im guessing 0.5 at the absolute most.

So u go to 0.5/8 games a week.
