Footy on Sunday nights set for Seven
I bet we cop a few.
Round 16 - mark it down for a twilight match in Geelong.
The AFL is killing the brand.

Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.
Sunday 7:40pm. What a even more shocking time than 4:40pm on Sunday. Will be bad for people who want to see their team play and live far away. It's rumoured Collingwood, North Melbourne and West Coast will be involved. AFL needs to put fans first before TV ratings for a change.

What a load of shit.

Is a Sunday night time slot common in American sports?
As a mainly TV viewer I like it.
The curse is dead.
I wouldn't be attending a 7.40pm Sunday game and would then watch it on the TV.
I know I'm different to most regarding Sunday games but I don't mind the 4.40pm timeslot because I still get home at a reasonable hour but I understand it's not a great one if you are taking children to games.
I get that the AFL feel the need to expanding the games over all available times but this one doesn't appear to be about the fans and it's more about keeping TV rights strong.

7:40pm will mean 5,000 pax crowds in my opinion. Very. Poor. Form...
what about 6.40?
Well it is certainly ratings driven and that is a more important source of revenue than crowds.
Is actually an ideal timeslot for TV but they are still likely to want big games. For TV it could be as important as Friday games.
I guess the fans will need to adjust.

I understand what they are trying to do. I don't mind it as long as they share it across the board. I can see us getting a lot of that time slot.
I don't mind it, heck I go to 7:30 soccer matches on a Tuesday so I can't see it having a massive impact.

Sunday night TV is garbage in my opinion. I often work on Sundays so don't mind the thought of coming home to watch a game. A good way to end the week.
