Let's earn our position on marquee timeslots by actually playing footy people want to see. Happy to stay off broadway until then.

It also keeps Friday nights free for doing anything other than watching the AFL, plus if we get flogged on a Sunday it doesn't put a cloud over the entire weekend :thumbsup:

We're getting what we deserve.

* on the other hand have had the red carpet rolled out for them after finishing 11th, and not winning a final in 14 years. That irks me more.

On the bright side, if the dopers crash and burn it'll be on primetime TV.

That is what is disappointing, we don’t deserve prime time games but neither do Essendon*. After we beat them during the year, there were questions being raised about them. All of a sudden they are the it team.

I too hope they crash and burn.

They're also drug cheats who put a permanent stain on the sport.

Financially a disaster.
Hopefully, it's better next year.

The club need to focus on the positive. Family friendly fixture, only 2 night games.
Gets the kids back at the footy.

It helps to ensure it’s hard to attract the big name recruits each year.

Instead of providing balanced opportunities for each club they smash your brand.

Haven’t bothered to look but I’ll bet the 2 Saturday night games would be against teams that’ll be expected to beat us?

Our treatment by the AFL and da meedya pisses me off to no end, but I echo the sentiment that it's up to the whole club to make itself impossible to ignore.

- Team needs to start winning games, or at least being competitive every week.
- Supporters need to show up, regardless of who we're playing or where. Richmond would still get 50-60k during their dark recent years, meanwhile we get 27,000 for Simmo's 300th, and get outnumbered by @#$%&! Eagles supporters at the MCG. Get off your @#$%&! couch's, out of the pubs, and to the games. No atmosphere = no coverage, not to mention the effect empty stadiums has on a young group.
- People at home need to watch our games, and ignore all others. Skew the ratings as much you can.

We'll never get the free ride * does, no matter what we do. But let's look at Collingwood and Richmond, who galvanised their organisations, teams and supporter bases to make themselves stand out from the pack like dog's balls. No reason we can't achieve the same goal.

To make ourselves impossible to ignore we should pass on pick 1. It’d turn their night into a shitstoem and we’d probably get international coverage :razz:
