The simple answer is that HFC Members shouldn't have to work Fridays.
*Fans, associates & non-financial members can enjoy a midday start, 4pm finish.

I think for every supporter who is miffed they have to get up for work the next day there would be another supporter who would love a Thursday night game because they don't work a conventional 9-5, M-F job. Plenty of shift workers out there in multiple fields that might have a better chance of getting to a Thursday night game as opposed to a Saturday/Sunday arvo game. A cursory glance at Thursday games this year shows crowd figures you would have expected had they been played at any other timeslot so I don't think it will have the bearing on attendance that some think it will.

It’ll literally be like 2 or 3 Thursdays we play. Probably a chance one is interstate also. The AFL will be looking to flog us to interstate teams home games for quick cash.

Some serious grumblebums in here.
You complain about no prime-time, you get prime-time then you complain about prime-time.
It's not about just you. For every one of you that can't go Thursdays because 'whatevs' there's another supporter who can and is looking forward to it.
This is about the club. And prime-time sells.

We're the hottest ticket in the comp right now. Unless Carlton can recapture their early season form.
time to cash in.
helps attract players, staff, crowds, sponsors... not to mention the players love Broadway.
Hok in full flight vs the dogs reminded me of why I'm lucky to follow our club
Correct.
And the club will do the same.

I actually find it the opposite. Thursday/Friday gives you time to get over it and move on with actually enjoying your weekend.
It's Sunday, especially Sunday twilight which shits me when you lose. You're forced to wait all weekend (not to mention the week) to sit down and watch the footy all for it to be a loss. It's a crap way to end what might of been a good weekend up to that point and then it's straight back to work the following day to cop the ribbing from co-workers.
The walk of shame down the corridor at work on Monday after a loss. Nothing worse.

It wasn’t hard to find my way at all. I just popped the Airbnb address into google maps and away I went.

Wouldn't surprise if we get GWS in Opening Round. Brisbane get Geelong
GC get Collingwood
Sydney get maybe the Dogs
Could switch the Dogs and us as they sort of have a rivalry with both
Then Essendon R1, Port R2
Probably get the bye after Easter Monday so they can quickly put Geelong and us back to prime time games

Dogs can’t sell out Showgrounds. We probably can’t either. Needs to be Carlton or Collingwood v Giants to guarantee a full house. But Blues are protesting and Pies were there last year.
Perhaps
Thurs Lions v Cats
Fri Swans v Bombers
Sat GWS v Hawks
Sun GC v Pies
It’s a long weekend. Vic fans can fly/drive up.
I just don't want GC up there. We'd get smashed again.

The thought of Gold Coast away into start of the season Essendon scares me with all the added media expectation we have next year lol, would hate to see the media headlines if we start the season 0-2 (against two non finalists)

I'd love GWS up there in opening round.
We exclusively play bangers against them. They've won 3 of the past 4. I'd say that record to about to start turning in our favour.

The Raiders are playing in that stupid Vegas experiment in the NRL - I wonder if the league might consider the Giants playing at Manuka in opening round as a result. I would relish taking them on there while they are depleted by suspensions.
Any senior players suspended or just 2nds that most likely won’t make the best 22 first round?

3 of them were regular senior players.
The zone noone wanted - the saints were offered it, and then Richmond, then Melbourne... then usThe Mornington Peninsula zone?

So we appear to be settled that the stupid split round to start again will happen? The AFL has this competition more bastardised than Henry I’s progeny.
Or hold all the games in QLD and NSW that weekend.
They could hold a game in Canberra and Cairns. While the NRL is away, the AFL can play
