    Round 23

    Mark Stevens has tweeted that the Hawks v Dogs game in Rnd 23 will be the Friday night game.
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    Re: Round 23

    So 2 more Friday night games for the year a home game at Etihad R21 v Giants and Away game v Hawks at Etihad R23. Complete opposite to last year when we were the last game on Sunday although now it doesn't matter as much with the week break before the final series which hopefully will make in 2017.

    Also I believe a replacement game too - so can use your membership to access GA areas.

    Indeed it is.

    Assuming this is the Hodge and probably Murphy factor?

    Neither side would have a claim to Friday night otherwise.

    Does Matty Boyd get to squeeze in too? So there's two each, Hawthorn can also send off Vickery.

    Re: Round 23

    Why is there even a floating schedule for R23 now that the bye is in place? More AFL idiocy.

    Because it creates more content to fill the ridiculous amount of media hours that AFL talk has to fill.

    Devils advocate.....

    It gives the league the flexibility to schedule Hawthorn v Dogs on a Friday night now that they know it will be Hodge (and probably Bob and Boyd's) last game, rather than it potentially end up on a 4:40pm Saturday arvo fixture or something like that.

    Similarly they now know that the Tigers\Saints game will be one of big consequence for finals spots - and potentially Riewoldt and Montagna's last game - and maybe it gets a Saturday night slot.

    I realize it is not necessary in terms of fairness and breaks before finals - but still gives the league the opportunity to showcase the biggest 'events' of the weekend at the best times.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If the important games, or the farewell games are in the bad timeslots - then they get criticized for that too.
