Rushing home from work, end-of-week tiredness, Friday night traffic, staying for just 3 quarters (if that) watching us get flogged, weekend ruined before it's begun.......no more of that = win-win!!! Thanks AFL!!!
Nothing worse that this season when we lost on Friday nights, it ruins your whole weekend.
Friday night is the leagues showcase, I fully understand why we don't get these games, we finished last and were noncompetitive most of the time. The top 8 should get the lions share of those games, but I'm sure Collingwood and Essendon will get a big chunk too, let's just hope that they get flogged too. >
We still get to play each weekend, develop out of the main stream and when TV execs look at the poor ratings of a Port v Bulldogs Friday night game, complain to the AFL, we'll see how long before things are changed.
The average punter are sick of Hawthorn, Sydney and Freo being the contenders each season, West Coast is almost as bad. North is as fun to watch as getting a prostate exam with no lube. The AFL needs new blood at the top of the ladder and they need a healthy Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond. While the AFL execs can lick their own collective icy poles over a Gold Coast V GWS grand final, it would pale into insignificance to a Carlton V Richmond one.
