I always thought of Eastdog as an only name akin to Prince or Madonna.

I may have brought this up before but what if we played a home game or two at the G would that improve our revenue.

Easty, you never let us down!

Look for the Bombres to be rewarded for their 2015 season. They've earnt Carlton's Friday night spot.

We'll get 1, maybe 2 at best.

Do we draw a big enough crowd to warrant a lot of Friday nights?

The only way to find out is to start giving us some games on Friday night. I don't think what you ask is a relevant question the AFL should be asking anyway Friday night is Friday night. People come anyway.

And how to we grow our attendances without exposure to the big drawing games anyway? We are owed them,we have underpinned this competition for many years now.

The key on Friday is television exposure. This also applies to Thursday. Our form warrants the exposure.

Given the season we have had if we can't draw a crowd on a Saturday night I'm not sure Friday night simply becomes more fan friendly for us. This is not the field of dreams

We need to get 3 Fridays next year with 2 of them being home games but our supporters need to come along to these games as well.
If we stumble around 25k attendances we hand momentum back to the AFL. If we get 30K to games we will have a lot more say.

For the AFL 25K on Friday is the same as 25K on Saturday. The important area is TV Ratings and exposure for clubs. We deserve an equal chance.

Re: Bulldogs push for Friday night

The criteria for Friday night games is more about television ratings than actual attendance, but we did draw more to our Saturday night game (31,445) v Carlton than Essendon and North did on Friday night 31,025).

Give us a Friday night game against Collingwood or Richmond at Etihad and attendance wont be a problem.
