A pretty simple point that none of the AFL apologists on here seem to want to address.
One can only guess at their motives.

Changing South's night games to mostly Fridays will maximise the crowds. State game at night a good move, finals on Saturdays good move, Centrals get their night games and the three brave clubs battling it out on the world stage get seven day breaks.

"Weekend of" could mean Sunday still, couldn't it?

Not sure how you figure this, removing games from the highest drawing team at the best attended oval and handing them to South Adelaide would seem to achieve the polar opposite.
Heretical I know.

PhilH wrote:What amazes me is that the last round of NAB cup games is March 10
Then NAB Cup Grand Final is a one AFL match weekend on March 17
We then have a one AFL match weekend when GWS & Swans kickoff the season on March 24 (rest of AFL Rd 1 the following week March 29-April 1)
So there are two weekends in March with only 1 AFL game
Yet the Foxtel Cup first game is March 31
Why wouldn't you start Foxtel Cup games on March 17, play even 2 or 3 first round matches on both the 17th and 24th .... it would give the Foxtel Cup some great promotion in an AFL vacum AND it would allow for most clubs to get their first Foxtel Cup game done before the state league seasons start.
Because these clubs would then have a max of 3 games left it wouldn't requires such a stretched state league schedule.

Are the lights getting an upgrade there (or have they already been upgraded?) because I remember a 'twilight / night' 6 quarter trial game between Central and the Eagles at Thebby a couple of years ago and the players were complaining about the lack of light then and it was very hard to see the play late in the 6th quarter on the outer side.
I know gridiron is currently being played at Thebby at the moment, anyone been there to be able to comment?
SANFL games are only 4 quarters at a guess.
