Why 4.40?

[jonesy]

It's the only game on sunday,yet they have to put it into the dud 4.40pm timeslot?

[kosifantutti]

It's so you don't have to watch The Voice.

How did I overlook that

Must be a clause in the contract with channel 7 regarding lead in games to the 6:00 news.

Thats the 3pm timeslot though which I can understand. We are on the 4.40 fox footy time slot

[stevie]

Game live on FTA up here as we get all the Suns and Lions games even if they are foxtel games. Sweet

[Rosco]

its because they don't have any idea.

[saintspremiers]

Maybe part of Foxtel signing up is 4.40 games every Sunday. It's all about telly remember

[Sainternist]

The old tradition of the Saturday 2pm match is long gone now.

It's all about weird times to suit the television networks. Not to mention, fans have become too soft to attend so they subscribe to Fox Footy instead.

But could the AFL please GET RID of Monday Night Football. Worst copycat idea EVER.

[Enrico_Misso]

After last weeks time slot this seems like bliss.

Answer: TV ratings.
Bring back the 2:10 time slot at Waverley Park!
We should makes some money at the game for once
Ps, 4:40 is probably the worst time for a footy match, especially on as Sunday.
I prefer to be home personally watching games from a by gone era.

Couldn't 't agree more Sainternist!

Whatever happen our game...
Hopefully with the new CEO at afl, we might get some normality back.
Aka, food prices, time slots etc etc

[Rosco]

Who watches tv from 440 to 7 on a Sunday?

[Spinner]

Hate those Friday night games.... Interrupts with my social life.

Alas, the CEO won't change a hell of a lot in this respect. The television networks are dictating terms as far as match times go.

But if they manage to scrap Monday night games and Thursday games, it'll be at least some improvement.

Have kids.

That's Sunday afternoon and Sunday night shot if you go to the game, plus the hassle of getting to and from the game but only 3 hours out of your day if you watch Foxtel.

Decisions, decisions.

Is this game at 440 go for longer than other rounds?

Or is it the same?

[bigbadxav]

Tss tsss, it goes longer of course, as we need to have my dinner at 6:00pm. And the game go straight through that time slot...How inconvenient of the AFL

As part of the eco-Etihad trial to cut greenhouse gas omissions when the forecast crowd is less than 20K the 50 decibel siren is used to save power costs.
