Preview Carlton vs Essendon, MCG, Saturday 18/04/15, 1:45 PM - Changes post #573

just realised this game is delayed on Saturday.. ******* criminal!
my first season in ages without foxtell and I've always just assumed that they didn't delay games due to how much C7 harp on about "live and free"

not happy

It's great for the people going to the game, you get home in time for the last quarter.

What is the weather supposed to be like on Saturday? A wet track might bridge the gap between the two teams.

Why couldn't this game be on Saturday night hate getting up early to go to the footy.

Getting up early? The game is at 13.45? Where do you live? Wandiligong?

 

[Doss]

We're decrying a Saturday day game now?

They come along very rarely. Savour them.

I like to sleep in a bit on week ends.

Don't mind 3.00 pm but 1.45 pm not so much also find night matches have a better atmosphere for me at least.

Meh. Night games are the norm these days, in this television dominated and driven sport. And, it's cold at night and, well, sometimes I like to do other things at night. I'm happy this is a day game.

Last round was our first day game against Hawthorn since 2009. We haven't had a day game against Richmond since 2009 and Geelong since 2008. Carlton and Collingwood are the only two who we regularly get them against.

I savour them!

I was born in 1978 so I have a bit of affection for the traditional Saturday arvo game.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Fair enough.

 

[bacon buster]

love a Saturday arvo game, at least early in the season when it's warmer.
Friday night, Saturday arvo, Saturday night would be my order of preference
not a big fan of Sunday footy at all

 

[Halftimehero]

Are we really now complaining about Saturday arvo games? Do you campaigners even football?

 

[beechy12345]

Where's Dempsey at? Feel like Hibberd is at his best when Dempsey is also in the side.

I actually thought you were joking!

 

[Ashton Agar]

Saturday Afternoon games at the MCG are great.

 

[Dave]

Have kids, hate night games, rarely home before midnight. Looking forward to Sat arvo.

 

[VelvetSledge]

So keen.

Must be a long sleep in!

Beer is better in the arvo - they serve heavy. Only lights or mids at night

 

[daffo]

Can't wait.

This is a very important point.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Can't wait.

You can and you will.

I know they use to do this, but is it not all Carlton Mid these days? Or did I just get ripped off at the cricket?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I see Essendon is ranked 4th for contested ball and Carlton 18th.

Nah cant see the Blues winning.

He's right to go. Played in practice game v Geelong last Sat... Got through (without dominating). In frame for selection.
