If Anzac Day falls on a Saturday, doesn't that mean Monday becomes a public holiday?

Could have two games then, one in the arvo and one at night.

THU
Game 1
FRI
Melbourne v Richmond
SAT
Collingwood v Essendon
SUN
Game 4
Game 5
Game 6
Game 7
MON
Game 8
Game 9

Or even a Perth match following the Anzac Day eve game.

Victoria doesn't get a public holiday when ANZAC day falls on a Saturday
 
Why the fu** is 16th opening the season.

Why the Flip is a team that hasn’t won a finals game in 15 years still rewarded with marquee games like Anzac Day & Dreamtime??

Because they can draw 80-90k regardless of where they are on the ladder.

Doesn’t that fit the criteria for keeping Richmond v Carlton as the opening game then??

I only responded with my question because of Bomberboyokay’s comment.
 
Well if we are gonna base this on crowd numbers look at the last 2 opening round attendances
Don’t have a problem with Carlton v Richmond personally, just like I don’t have a problem with Geelong v Hawthorn Easter Monday. I do have a problem with Good Friday & empty seats, not a good look.

Maybe I should have responded to him but I’m tired & it’s been a long hot day.
 
Dibbs. Saints vs Blues
Apparently Carlton haven’t been given any Friday night games this year. Also st kilda can’t possibly play Friday night. The only time teams ever have less than a six day break is when they have to play Anzac Day or something.
 
And according to The Age, a stand-alone game on Saturday.



Doesn’t make sense, when are the other games to be played? One on Thursday, Rich/Melb on Friday night still leaves 6 other games to be played on Sunday. Can’t be right, surely.
