Preview Round 24, 2024: Hawks v North, 12:30pm Sat 24th Aug, UTAS - NOTE NEW START TIME

[OhhhhhCyril]

That's how I understood it. There will be power but in the event of an outage (which sounds like there have been some recently - and the weather forecast isn't great) then there will be no action to restore it.

Recon they just start the game earlier.

 

[Billyc]

Just move it forward by 3 hours.

Prefer that option big time. Gets it over sooner, no clash, not at their home ground. Gives us the rest of the weekend to either cry or relax knowing that we're in finals

The only downside is much more rain predicted for then. Rain would’ve cleared for our original start time.

We play rain well (Collingwood game) but it could also suit Norths hacking

Definitely the fairest option for everyone, including the other 16 clubs (well, those of them in the mix for finals anyway).

 

[RCAB]

NICE TRY CLARKO

Is that Clarko before the 2005 draft?

Also there's no game at the MCG tomorrow night. Could be our last home game in front our fans as we try and qualify for finals, would be a big crowd for a Saturday night. Otherwise if it's too tight to change for travel reasons, no games at the G on Sunday. Or we could play Monday?

Now means I won't be able to watch it. Hopefully that's a good thing and I can just check in and see we've won. Don't love the stress of our Twilight fixtures when trying to get dinner ready for the kids.

Do find it humorous though that all the talk recently about how stupid it is that we haven't had any prime-time games, some media were talking up that we had the Saturday twilight game and should be happy with that. AFL and Tassie - NOPE

Means i can watch most of it now.

Simple solution: Call it a draw/no result and award both North and us 2 points.

I’ve got something on tomorrow arv going into the evening, was probably only going to be able to watch half the game at best. Now I can watch the whole thing, WOOHOO!

How about no - if Freo and Carlton win we are out of the 8.

It’s meant to be raining though. If there’s a lot of dark clouds then those are conditions they’d need lights for anyway.
