wtf is this fixture

[ReturningHawk]

 

[The Feeder Club]

A compromise brought about by a once in a lifetime weather event?
A wankfest?
A good reason to go out on Saturday night?

Help me out here

Hawthorn supporters won't be watching the Geelong game, so you're getting worked up over nothing.

The AFL scheduling night games in Launceston all of a sudden just to try and “prove” the stadium in Hobart needs a roof?

from the guys that brought you "lets schedule a midday game at the Gabba in March" comes the sequel

So? You don't think there's a lot of neutrals who would be interested in both of these games and would rather not have to choose between one or the other?

In all fairness it is a 6.35 start in Brisbane. Should of been 7.30 though.

There was 2 games on Saturday night in Melbourne just 2 weeks ago. Nobody gave 2 shits then.

Kayo does Picture in Picture so you can watch them both.

Does Foxtel?

Very early season night games are alright, don't want night games much later in Lonny (or Canberra) though. 26 forecast in Lonny for Saturday (9 degrees early Sunday morning so could be cool by game's end).

Not that it seems to matter in rugby and league with night games in Canberra.

Kayo has split screen and Specsavers need the business.

True, this time of year is fine, round 14 in the middle of June though, the crowd will be a sea of puffer jackets.

If you don't want to know the score, look away now.

Every Game in 2026 onwards to start at 2:10pm on a Saturday. Bring Back the Suburban Grounds I say!

But doesn't everyone complain about the night games at the Gabba at this time of year due to the dew?

The answer to that is clear. 10am starts for Qld games before May, feeds into the 1:10 game.

opposed to the midday game which was very dry

 

[Cyclops]

While saturday is an anomaly, the fixture is still the work of idiots. Next week Carlton have a six week break vs the Pies coming off the bye. FFS it's not right.

9:30am beers make for a heavy day session

Also the AFL in there wisdom were some how able to schedule Collingwood to play there first 3 games in 13 days.

You'd think maybe they could avoid a team playing off six breaks but no ... it's to hard.

Yep its a mess.

OP is right.
Clearly two best games of the week at the same time.
Other games all look like snoozefests between shit teams.
