The R3 game vs North is a rare Sunday 2:50PM game for us. Port usually get these games, we've only ever had 2 or 3 of these games at AO, one an away showdown.
Our Thursday night home record is not great.

I loved how Kochie said that they are a family club so Thursdays dont work (fair enough IMO) but the super kid friendly times of Saturday and Sunday arvos are half full.....
You maybe right with your analogy but that doesn't pacify me. I understand all the logic but it still doesn't make me feel grateful. I am just a fan who would like at least one game a year but I know it cant happen. Just seeing the players live gives you a better understand or appreciation of these guys. Carrara is a option and one I have taken up but it can also be an inconvenience for personal reason.
From a football perspective, imho our FIXture is pretty good.
The easier start to the season is critical. If we are good enough we will make the Eight.
From a spectator point of view, there is a reasonable mix of day and night matches. I don’t like Saturday afternoon matches because I have to miss my local footy team. For families with young kids playing sport, Saturday or Sunday afternoons are best. For country people, Sunday afternoon is best so they don’t have to drive home late at night. No fixture is ideal with everyone.
Commercially, home games against Geelong, Carlton, Hawthorn, Collingwood and The Pear should sell out.

St Kilda in R1 won't be easy!
Its the sort of game we should be winning comfortable enough at home...... if we want to be any good
This is just one of the results of our inept management over the last 20 years.
AFC don't give a shit about SA members, they give even less of a shit about our Melbourne based members.
Roll on 2028 (hopefully)
So why Essendon at the MCG and not Marvel? Not that I'm complaining... Last time we played Essendon at the 'G was in 1995! Will be only the 4th time ever that match up has been at the 'G.
Is there another event at Marvel on Friday night so that they need all Sat afternoon to reset the venue for the night match?

The fact remains that the frequency and duration of such trips in an AFL season isn't going to cause the type of damage being asserted by the other poster
