Saturday 4.30pm timeslot

[BallaratBulldog]

I rather the early game on both Saturday and Sunday

 

[Dirty Bird]

For 15 clubs - Yes.
For 2 clubs (Fremantle, West Coast) - I dont know.
For 1 club (Adelaide) - No.

 

[rapidfire7]

2:10 Saturday afternoons please. Miss it

 

[Franc de Borges]

Is a lot. How do they suit you compared to 1.45, 3 or 7.30 starts?

It’s better than night games for me because of young children. Far prefer 2:10, although we probably last had that time slot on the 90s.

 

[janty]

Personally think they should only have 1 game going on at any one time.

 

[yamborghinidream]

2012 - Hawks v Adelaide Prelim
2022 - Swans v Collingwood Prelim

Demonstrated that it is by far the best time slot aesthetically

 

[HTPunter]

I think people vote with their feet. So far so good.

An interesting slot I’ve noticed is next week Brisbane & Suns play the Q-clash at 7.10pm on Sunday. Public holiday in QLD the Monday after so will see if that is enough to attract a decent crowd in an otherwise graveyard slot.

It's a crap time slot, can't go if you have something on at night, sometimes can't go if you have something on during the day.

Now that Collingwood have told the AFL they aren't playing after 2pm on Sat or Sun, the rest of us have to fight over the scraps.

Going through the comments it seems the twilight game has its positives. If attending. And I tend to agree.

But not much discussion about the home viewer. I'm not a fan if not attending. Most people have dinner between 530pm and 730pm yeah? I'm in that group and find it frustrating I now have to worry about feeding my guests a substantial meal. Usually it's chips and dips throughout with party pies and sausage rolls at half time. Does that cut it for dinner? I don't think so. Or if I'm the guest do I assume a free feed. It's something I don't have to think about with any other timeslot.

Even if you live far away from a station it is still easier to drive to one and catch a train in instead of the s**t fight that is the MCG car park. Only thing worse is the Marvel car park.

Oh I did that once. Never again.

I don't understand, can't you cook with the game on? Also pies and sausages rolls is not dinner.

It's perfect timeslot for Queensland they go to bed about 9.

Your first point... Yes I can. Would rather not.
Your second point... Are you confirming my already alluded to fact? So to confirm. I do believe party pies and sausage rolls is not dinner. Hence my annoyance

Dumplings could work for dinner and take less prep time. Rice cooker, something limp and green and there you go.

I can understand it for elderly, disabled, etc. But for anyone else the walk from Jolimont or Richmond stations, and even from the CBD, is something even lazy obese old me can do without a problem.
And its probably about half an hour quicker to get away than by car. Which is probably why so many park in South Yarra instead and walk from there, guessing its an option for those who live nowhere near a train line.

Sometimes it’s much more pleasant going home in the car and not putting up with overcrowded trains filled with drunk dickheads. Particularly when your team loses

Half time is just about the perfect length for prepping and cooking a good old steak and three veg.

Invite me over anytime. Except I expect the prepping and cooking during the 2nd quarter so that I may feast at half time.

You’d absolutely hate living in Perth

Absolutely 5am-9pm awake time is perfection

 

[mcgarnacle]

Better for Geelong supporters. They should get more of them, if it's an MCG home game.

100% this except Saturday night, use the interstate ability, even use the "interstate" games North, Hawks sell off as ones

Thursday night football

Friday night football

Saturday early
Saturday twilight
Saturday night
Saturday night (interstate)

Sunday early
Sunday primetime (thanks Ch7)
Sunday twilight

Is Saturday 4.30pm now considered a new marquee timeslot?

Have noticed a few high profile games scheduled then. Personally I hate that timeslot but seemingly others like it given 87k turned up yesterday for Geelong Carlton.

Yes of course it is indeed the marquee slot, home to classics like Saints vs North.

440 is death time for footy lovers with young kids
