Re: NZ follow up
So Netters in the first article wants another Anzac Day fixture and in the second wants a n earlier start time. Can't have both, unless its a 1.10pm NZ time start which is 11.10am AEST.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

Re: NZ follow up
i understand the financial side of nz but every game
they take away from our home is getting supporters
used to not going to the footy
also the afl will give us
a game against wce or crows so we will find it hard
to win while rebuilding and still send us to 6 interstate games

Re: NZ follow up
Sorry, but great move by the club and will inject vital cash that we need and build a new support base. Members get make-up games in melbourne so i dont see any problem. If supporterssigned up every yesr the club would not have to do it, 32,442 members just dosent cut it.

Re: NZ follow up
I think it was plugger66 who said that next year's ANZAC Day clash will be against Brisbane !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
Re: NZ follow up
The Club can wish an earlier start time all they like...their is no way the AFL, CH 7 or Foxtel will want it overlapping Ess v Coll. Won't happen in a million years.

Re: NZ follow up
What about 11.10am Melbourne time? Wouldn't rate as well as 5.40pm but would fit in.saint66au wrote:The Club can wish an earlier start time all they like...their is no way the AFL, CH 7 or Foxtel will want it overlapping Ess v Coll. Won't happen in a million years.

I would beliive that the agreement between the AFL and the RSL would be no game/s before the 12 noon that shops and businesses hold to in the majority..... untill the march is over.

Yes very good point..and Wellington are rightly very strict on this..saintbrat wrote:saintspremiers wrote:What about 11.10am Melbourne time?

Re: NZ follow up
Was nothing wrong with the start time - gave us a full day to do other things in wellington. Lots of great walking tracks around town and good hiking trails a very short drive away.
And the game did not finish very late at all - do Kiwis have a curfew?

Re: NZ follow up
It's all relative - compared to the other sports that get played in Wellington (Union, League and Soccer) the AFL runs a lot longer, most of these sports would finish around 9.30 for a 8pm kick-off.saint6 wrote:Was nothing wrong with the start time - gave us a full day to do other things in wellington.

The only hope of a change of time in NZ is if the AFL change the Filth and the Junkies (or whoever the Pies end up playing when they're booted) to a night game in Melb - something Eddie has suggested before. We essentially become the curtain raiser then.
As for 2014, I believe Freo has rights to play a home game on Anzac day as it falls in a normal match time-slot (Friday night). Has anyone heard this, or am I making it up??

Re: NZ follow up
It could happen a couple of years earlier IF Ch7 wield enough influence to get the Ess V Coll game changed to a NIGHT GAME. Or we could get a look in for 2014 & 2015 when Collingwood will be conducting closed Training Sessions on the MCG on ANZAC Day !!saint66au wrote:The Club can wish an earlier start time all they like...their is no way the AFL, CH 7 or Foxtel will want it overlapping Ess v Coll.
