16 day break

Post: # 743245Post saint66au »

Well a couple of hours short of it anyway...

We play Carlton on a Fri night..then the bye..then Richmond twilght Sunday.

Is this the longest break a team has ever had in a regular season?

I think Carlton had about 6 weeks off a few years ago when they were "tanking" at the end of the season 8-)

I hate the bye. I know the players probably relish the time to refresh, but it is the most boring week of the season.

Only emptier feeling is losing a prelim to the eventual premier, Deb......

I agree TOTALLY!!!
And for some STUPID FCUKING REASON, the AFL has 5 games on the first weekend and 3 on the other! :evil: (at least it's not 6 and 2 like last year!)
What's wrong with 4 and 4? :?

1 game Friday night, 1 Saturday, 1 Saturday night, 1 Sunday! Makes sense to me!

Three 16 day breaks for StK

2009 R12 v Carl Fri Jun 12th Night
2009 R13 v Rich Sun Jun 28th Twilight

2004 R13 v Haw Fri 18th June Night
2004 R14 v Port Sun 4th July Day

1995 R11 v Coll Fri 9th Jun Night
1995 R12 v Melb Sun25th Jun Day

I guess the earlier ones were 15 days and 18.5 hours
Whilst the one coming is 15 days and 21 hours.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
