What choo said, and also it might suck in some of the after-work crowd

That's easy

There is a game at 8.40pm - GC v Adelaide

Broadcast rights are the most important thing to the AFL (except for looking after drug cheats)

That's why I was a little confused as broadcast rights are always number 1 and I find it hard to imagine that TV ratings will be strong at 5:50 pm.

Thanks Effects.
Shame, rather see Byrne and Curnow but I guess it's about round 1

Fantasy Freako said after the first two NAB games:

Quote:
The most obvious change at Carlton under new coach Brendon Bolton is a quicker ball movement. The Blues have played on after a mark 9% more often than their opposition across the pre-season, ranked third. In 2015 they played on 3.7% less often which ranked 16th.


Doing it again today. Will be mistakes but players running past the man on the mark are getting the handball receive.

It's good because it at least pressures the opposition... which gives you a chance
