Pretty sure it is because all other games require travelling for a fair proportion of fans from one side or another. Our case not so much (even though I am affected). About maximising crowds

Because the AFL decided to play the first match in Perth on Friday night is basically locked in a structure where the loser of that match would have had a massive advantage two extra days break over the winner of the Bulldogs/Crows match if that match had been played on Sunday, so we have to cop the Sunday fixture and give up a days rest to the next week's opponent.
After next week the next matches will be Friday and Saturday nights up to the GF, so the potential match ups have to reduce any gap differences to one day to be fair to the team playing - so if we keep surviving we will play Saturday night fixtures.
I had hoped that we could have played on Saturday, but at least the longer break partially negates North's tactic of resting players.
Doesn't make much sense to guarantee the winner a six-day break leading into the semi, with Richmond and North the only finalists to have had 8 six-day breaks this season. As the higher-ranked team, we should've been given Saturday night.
We should be Saturday night no doubt
1st v 4th plays fri night
2nd v 3rd plays sat arvo
5th v 8th should play sat night
Just more afl *smile* rules. Given up on being annoyed with the way they run things

Yup. The 9 day break has nullified the effect of north's 'managed' strategy. If anything, it will be too long a break for North.
Let's worry about next week, on sunday evening.
I'll ve curious as to what the trading schedule is this week. I'd be looking at giving the boys a few days off eg til Wednesday then some very light sessions. And then Saturday off. Hopefully get them feeling as refreshed as possible.antman said:

My son's 10th birthday is on Monday. A few weeks ago I deliberately made the party for 10am on Sunday morning knowing that there'd be a very good chance we may play on the Sunday afternoon.
So we get the party over and done with and off to the footy!!
