Out of curiosity, since equalisation measures have been implemented, how come all team's aren't provided with equal prime-time slots?
If Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Carlton are provided 'x' times more prime-time slots than the rest of the competition, year-after-year; does this not present an inequitable advantage to these teams?
i.e. greater club exposure, higher memberships, higher crowd attendances, greater realised income, etc - compounded yoy!
To be fair, Carlton were off broadway for a few years from 2015. Even played games in Launceston (against us). There is no conspiracy against Hawthorn or other big clubs.
The last few years of Clarkson absolutely ruined our brand - we didn't kick more than 13 goals in a game for about 3 years

The AFL’s contribution to getting people back into the city offices is having Hawthorn play on Thursday and Friday nights.

If we want to be prime time we need to bring a four Tassie back to Melbourne ASAP. Anywhere else is the graveyard slot.

Nothing surer. Worst timeslot in football (to go to). Best to sit at home and watch
Why the sad face? Seven Thursday nighters would be awesome.Prime time hawks = 7 Thursday night games

Wonder if they’ll ever realize this and trial starting 30-60 mins earlier as followed by a work day?

Good luck. Could only happen if Seven News was reduced to 30 minutes on Thursday evenings. A pig just flew past my 11th floor apartment window

For someone that begins work at 6am and takes 2 hours to get home after a mcg game,Thursdays nights are the worse possible time slot.

Thursday and Friday nights only suck when we lose. It's a long weekend to get through after that.

Yeah my sleep deprived week clearly caught up with me, I thought it meant an opener vs Essendon only didn't consider we might get an away game first up - play on TD.

As I said on the other thread regarding Thursday night games - only on Bigfooty Hawks could you get handwringing over the lack of prime time slots and then get hand wringing at the proposition of getting multiple prime time slots.

Not really the right take. People want prime time slots they can attend. Thursday nights aint it.

Perfectly fine take for mine. For the past few years multiple posters have been complaining about our lack of prime time games. Now it looks like we might get them some posters can't wait to complain about Thursday night games. I get the whole point of the internet is often a spleen venting space.
Sunday 1PM games work the best for my personal life - do I want the club to play in that timeslot every home game? No - because the good of the club extends beyond my personal wants. Thursday nights draw good ratings, will bring eyeballs on the club and attracts sponsors. If the AFL/7 want to give us a swag of them then I'm all for it.

Just do the right thing and get to as many Thursdays as you can. If it was rd 22 Thursday night v Collingwood with a chance to lock a spot in the 4 you’d find a way to get there. 20,000 people found a way to drive to Adelaide for a Friday night final, we can do it
Thursday is great for watching on TV. Worse possible slot for attending. Hopefully most Thursdays will be interstate games or in Geelong.

Not everyone works 9 to 5
I’d be looking for a new job if i continually took Thursday/Fridays off to go to the footy
