Well Harry the Horse was right - the Bays wont play against a Crows match, so Sunday it is!

More seriously, the SANFL have actually stuffed up the scheduling of matches for this round. By scheduling Norwood, Central and West to all play away, there was no possibility of having a Friday night or Saturday night match played. What if the two Adelaide AFL teams were scheduled to play on Saturday and Sunday afternoon?

For Round 22, Central and Norwood are both at home but Norwood plays West so a night game couldn't happen at Richmond that week unless two neutral teams were prepared to play there - which I very much doubt.

Oh joy ... yet another Sunday game.

Squawk, its highly unlikely that both SA AFL teams will make the 8. Nigh impossible actually. Even if they did I reckon any game not involving Port will have no issue clashing with a power game. Norwood plays West at Coopers in Round 23.

[Squawk]

True HBT - but we didn't know that at the start of the year when the ficture was put together and I was suggesting good planning might be to ensure you have some scheduling flexibility in rounds 22 and 23 by keeping night games up your sleeve if necessary.

South game up against the Saints. Typical that a South v West is sacrificied against the footy park match.

[Tubby]

Would the one game on Saturday be due to the ABC coverage ?

[Dirko]

Would the one game on Saturday be due to the ABC coverage ?

Yeah but don't tell Saintal that......

[Big Phil]

Would the one game on Saturday be due to the ABC coverage ?

Yes, part of the agreement with ABC TV and the SANFL is to have at least 1 game scheduled at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon to be broadcast on the television.

[fester69]

One SANFL game has to happen on the Saturday for the ABC broadcast.

I suspect Norwood will be happy to have that Saturday slot (away at Glenelg), if Glenelg is, as the club has its Hall of Fame night that night and it won't be quite the same if current players cant attend because they have to play the following day. It would be a good game to broadcast but so too would Sturt v Central.

If 3 games are played on the Sunday, it will be interesting to see if clubs want to play Rd 23 on the Sunday as well to keep 7 day breaks going in to the finals series.

No mate the club has it's Hall of Fame dinner on August 21st.

Yes - it is now as it was a last minute date change due to the scheduling. Until then, it was scheduled for Aug 28. The bonus this year is that

a) we dont have to rush home from Alberton or Noarlunga and then back to the city (as on past occasions!)
b) we have our game the night before so that means we have all day Sat to look forward to it!
