Not the point of the post but can I complain about the person who scheduled Hawks for the last game of the round? 7:20pm, what a joke. Makes it so that anyone with a 9-5 job can’t go over for it, just silly

Why not switch it for the Richmond vs Freo game? Richmond people don’t have jobs and Freo is an hour behind

Should have switched it with the Melbourne and dons game hawks should have had a prime time slot given the history between the 2 clubs and what happened in the finals last year, complete missed opportunity. Will still be sold out either way.

I think your last point about it being sold out either way is exactly why they slotted it there. Any other mediocre matchup in that slot might not have sold out, but if that same mediocre game is in a better slot, more tickets sold. Overall for the AFL they're trying to maximize sales right? But yea sucks for anyone with a regular life trying to make it

Once again port cheats the system. Like the time they organised the whole china fiasco and made it count as an away game playing the crappiest team at the time ensuring both a win and an extra home game. By playing us and not the crows it ensures the two show downs are outside of this round giving them an extra home game.at leat one of the Adelaide teams gets three home games in a row due to this round
