Monday Night Football Sucks!

Post: # 1216890Post SaintPav »

Why have we been allocated Monday night football for the last 5 years? I hate this game. It wrecks my whole week and it is very inconvenient.

7:40 pm start is too late and at least last year they had it on an earlier time slot.

I did not vote to have Monday night games. Members should get a say about this.

St Kilda Football Club, give away Monday night games, most supporters are not interested.

I'll be going because I support my team and I pay top dollar for my membership.

Doesn't mean that I have to like it.

I have to hold myself back from abusing you because you only take pot shots at other posters.

Do you work, have kids? Sorry, dumb question.

Clarky449, I have no respect for you.

100% agree. I dont like Saturdays but many do. Cant please everyone. This is only certain game for the year. If the pies played the Dons we would say they get all the good games.

Thank you. Appreciate the support. I dont think i take many pot shots at many people. Dont think ive ever had a problem with you. You just dont like me.
Please abuse me, i welcome it. It can help in getting all that anger out you may have against me.
Answer to your questions, I do work, I dont have kids. Thank you for asking me questions though. Im happy to answer any questions you may have.

Have no respect towards someone on an Internet forum. I take it that would transcend into real life as well?

I wouldn't complain about that. I'm talking about Monday night football being inconvenient. It's ok if you are watching it on TV but a very inconvenient time slot of the week to attend. No comparison to Sat becuase Sat is at least on the weekend and is a traditional time slot while Mondays nights are a school night and have never been a time slot to play footy notwithsatnding a failed experiment back in the mid to late 90's.

If you guys like footy 24/7, then lets have a game on a 4am on Thursday morning.

monday night football hasn't become a showpiece like it is in other codes .
however its good to see the saints have persisted with it .
With live tv coverage ( hopefully Australia wide ) its also a good night for our sponsers .


agree with p66 comments
prehaps we could have some other entertainment , to make the night more of an event !
e.g. nitro circus at half time !
would make the second half interesting with the turf all dug up .

so you do pot shot people on here then?

From reading your posts, you don't have anything original to say apart from knocking other posters.

Apart from critising other posts, show me one of your post were you have had any relativley original and constructive ideas/thoughts/opinions, demonstrated some footy knowledge or shown any analytical or critical thinking skills. Happy to be proven wrong.

Do i? I said "Do you think i walk around Pot Shotting everyone i see" By me saying "Do you think" Im asking for an answer from you.

I really cant be bothered going through my past post's. But i know i would find plenty of constructive, nice comments. You are always welcome to follow me on twitter to see some Football Knowledge.

Why on earth is it a 740 start? Should have made it at least a half hour earlier for all audiences.

Agree on the timeslot.
It should be 7:10.
Make the TV put it on delay.

As for having a vote
- why would you expect members to have any say in key decisions?

Just like we got no say in expanding the competition to include the unwanted, unsustainable GC B@stards and GWS Falafels :evil:


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

The only minor issue I have with the timeslot is that means we have to wait all weekend and then some for the game. Seems unnatural. Pretty much everyone has moved on, except that there's another game to be played.
As for the "live TV audience" thing, is channel 7 doing it, or just Foxtel? If it's just Foxtel it really isn't that much exposure and there are a few timeslots during the weekend where there is only one game on, so this is not that much different from them.

Channel 7 are doing it. No Sunday game on Channel 7 Melb as the game is on monday. Does feel Unnatural to go to a game on Monday Night.
