Friday Night Footy - where do we rank?

[Throughandthrough]

Obviously we weren't deemed worthy to score a Friday night gig this year.

With the rise of Bonti etc, will we be worthy enough to be the feature match at least once next season?

If we are, at whose expense?

Carltons Expense, they are woeful.

Apart from last night their friday night games have been very entertaining and pulling a crowd.

We'll get one if we're lucky next year.

Yes, I won't be holding my breath that we will get one, although there does appear to be a lot of media excitement about our youngsters which bodes well (although perhaps the same could've been said after our finish to last season).

Based on the AFL's reasoning the Saints shouldn't get one like they did this year

They shouldn't but when it comes to the AFL who knows.

I'd say 1, maybe 2 would be achievable but as Chef pointed out, this is the AFL....

We need to be matched against the big Vic clubs twice a season each: Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond & Hawthorn.

Then we would be bound to get onto some of the better time slots, including Friday night.

That was Ports first Friday night game in 3 years
Under the AFL's criteria Caaaarlton shouldn't be getting a Friday night game next season.

The Carlton v Geelong game last Friday was very good.

Carlton has won one out of 6 Friday night games I think they said on tv last night

But the majority were tight games that were enjoyable to watch.

Re: Friday Night Footy - where do we rank?

I'm sure that didn't enter the AFLs mindset when we were playing close Friday night games and im sure we didn't lose 6 out of 7
