There goes my opportunity to get to any games next year! i wonder how the ratings relate to the ladder positions of the teams. Personally I am only interested in Carlton and rarely watch any other games. If there is a crucial cut-throat match on Friday night between any 2 teams that aren't Carlton I could not give a sh1t and wont watch.

Interesting to see how many CFC games will be live on Fox because if they are cut there as well I might have to review the enormous fee I pay them too, no point paying for televised games i wont watch.

Rolled out in November. Sounds like an NBN slogan.

One replaces Mars as a joint partner and the club ought to be congratulated on that deal as it's quite strong given the clubs position...and the second replaces William Hill as a Gold sponsor. It's a really difficult time to be after new corporate partners - so the club has done particularly well in this regard.

More about Juddy?

Replacing William Hill is a good move as long as they don't replace them with another betting agency.

I doubt we will play Adelaide twice. They finished in the top 6 so in theory we only play one of none of those teams twice.
My guess is that we will cop Hawthorn twice again just for laughs.

Don't have to play them twice kezza, just once is fine....

Considering we haven't played Adelaide in Adelaide since 2010 I'd suspect we're due.....

OK if that's what they want - stupid to offend the whole carlton fan base which is large Australia wide -dumb to not give us one - just don't watch friday night football and see how channel 7 ratings go

Don't take it personally. The Bulldogs have not had a Friday night match since 2012. From 2017, just about every weekend is going to look like this. Plenty of opportunity.

- 1 Friday night game
- 2 Saturday afternoon games
- 1 Saturday twilight game
- 2 Saturday night games
- 2 Sunday afternoon games
- 1 Sunday twilight game

Long way to come just for an SANFL game Em....

Well played

We don't deserve Friday night games anyway.
Better for us to hide away of Saturdays and Sundays until we re a bt more competitive.

Is it just me or we have a lot of emotional people over not much?

So what if we dont play friday night. I actually would rather watch a competitive game on friday night with mates at a pub than a carlton bad loss.

This game is a business and if we were on the stock exchange our club is very low on stock. No one wants to watch carlton right now. Afl wants to attract new business, not lose business. They need their ratings up for the next tv deal. The game is no longer for supporters but big business. When you realise that you will be less emotional. They dont care about sponsors coming to cfc as they will top us up anyway if they have to.

Because football is just like the stock market.

Better write that down.

Its ok. Majority of people will understand what l mean

The only thing Friday does for our coffers is the prime time for sponsors,if they are not too concerned with that give me saturday arvo every time.

I get what you mean but do you think the big businesses would buy advertising time if there were no supporters?

Also, most businesses wouldn't want to disassociate themselves from such a large market.

In fact, the AFL are taking a big gamble. If Carlton front with 35,000 members next year and the crowds continue to drop they have problems. Consider a world where 20 Essendon** players get WADAed and Carlton are nowhere to be seen. It's not a business model I'd actively pursue
