Can only assume the AFL are trying to deliberately kill off Thursday night football.

In all honesty, there's only about 3 meh Thu night games on that list.
The rest have potential to be crackers.
Sunday night footy 9 of the first 15 rounds, with WCE or Freo as host for five of those nine.
The other four:
Port (Gather v Hawthorn)
Bulldogs (Easter Sun v Swans),
Brisbane (Labour Day eve v Suns)
Carlton (Kings Bday eve v Bombers)
Also - Round 11 = Marvel double header as part of SDN Round.
Carlton host GWS 1:20pm Sat 24 May
then North host Collingwood 7:35pm

Any chance they could make the draw more family friendly?
Thursday nights and Sunday nights - imagine if you have kids or live in the country?

Family friendly? Are you new here? They want media friendly.
At least they have left Mon, Tues and Wed night free - for now.
I don't think this will be an actual double header as the stadium will need to be cleared after the Carlton game.
So there's only 4 games actually starting around 7.10pm on a Sunday night.
The Perth games will be twilight games in their local time zone.

Don’t worry about that, Carlton fans will be leaving early that game. Giants to win easily.

Better yet, imagine they give the marquee Sunday night game to SA (where it's also a public holiday in the Monday) or wherever instead of another MCG "big Vic" yawnfest.

The Marvel double up seems a pretty good idea honestly. Offer a complimentary GA ticket to the other game with purchases of a ticket to one of the games (/with your membership ticket). Work out what the minimum amount of time needed to clear out the crowd between the two games, have stuff going on in the Docklands precinct in that time. Your North / Bulldogs / Saints row teams should pursue it when playing against travelling teams. I reckon you'd get a few people staying for both and pumping some extra money in to the clubs.

I think it is a double up in the sense the ground is being used twice that day, as opposed to a gather round type one ticket gets you entry to both.

You're no doubt right because the AFL lives to almost have good ideas but not really pull them off
More likely a huge drop-off from Essendon. We're (again) stinking up 2025 good and proper, at least on win-loss.
Wish they would get the **** on with it then.

Crazy the GF rematch isn't prime time
True, though it sort of is into their home markets. I'm assuming the non-Vic teams still get all their games broadcast into their primary home state on FTA, even if Fox exclusive everywhere else.

I wish it was commonplace for all interstate Friday night games. Shows the league is Vic centric with the fact a Vic team will be in every Friday night game
