We are not considered Victorian is all that matters. Carlton were gifted years of Friday night games whilst a steaming pile of shit. It's no surprise, we'll keep getting few Friday night games until we don't have a majority of clubs based out of Victoria.
Channel 7 wanted Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights.
You can already mark the card that it’ll be a flogging, Collingwood at the G is way too scary for Ken and the boys.
That would be wrong maybe the crows are playing richmond away round 2 because we are away to essendon round three Thu night so we must be home round 2
Technically it's a good draw when you consider we finished 3rd and the first 3 games are against sides who missed the 8.
Congratulations AFL suits. You've lined your pockets and took the "people's game" further away from the people

I know you, I and a few others were trying to get to the bottom of the ambiguous wording on the new rights deal but it seems to have been confirmed - see post 354 in the Fixture Leaks post on the main board, which links to this recent article:Outside of Victoria, there is no Saturday arvo, twilight or night game on Free TV in first 8 rounds between 2025 and 2031.
Victoria dont get a game on Saturday on Free TV until after Rd 15.

Thats interesting because today on SEN and AA sports show, they both said no Saturday games on Free to Air TV for first 8 rounds.
Just saw 9 news story on 9Now, that it is Rd 9, Saturday night, so will be on ch 7 in SA.
Saturday in the USA is reserved for College Football so the NFL plays Sunday to avoid the clash.
Before 2023, the last time we'd played them at home was 2017. We were due to play them in 2021 but COVID got in the way and we played them at an empty Marvel. Killer fixturing, dudes.
It’s tough for Collingwood - there are 8 non Victorian teams and they can only play four of them outside of Victoria each year.
