All to do with days break.
Our games in rd 24 vs blues will be Thursday night so the game vs gold coast can be the Wednesday night.
Gives us 6 day breaks instead of 5
Booked plane tickets for SCG Saturday 2/8.
Should be a pleasant little day tripā¦
That Gold Coast away game must be the reason for us getting so much prime time. Terrible for the neutrals but mostly good for us.
My only complaint is we missed the chance to play Richmond during the day which hasnāt happened since 2016.
Longer break than our opponents: 5
Shorter: 1
Same: 1

My only memory of this game involves Matthew Leuenberger getting run down in the goal square with the game on the line.

3 losses in a row blitz will be ecstatic
This is how the AFL proves that Showdowns and Derbys canāt be on prime time because no one in Victoria will watch two interstate teams play
Dont think their has been a derby in primetime since 2005
What the ā ā ā ā are community and challenge/round? Enough with the stupid gimmicks.
I googled the Challenge one and got a decades old playstation portable game.
The challenge game is the one for the childrenās cancer charity of the same name.
Yellow armbands, the best team announcement each year because of the drawings. That game.
The community one - yeah, that was just invented last year for the freo game to try get more than 23,000 through the gate.

This vaguely rings a bell now. Childrenās cancer, fair enough. I thought it was related to NAB (NAB Challenge stirs my memory). or some other cynical marketing garbage the AFL love.
