W.Bulldogs 46
Port Adelaide 78
West Coast 9
Collingwood 3 - couple of 'big' wins, could be an upset here
Brisbane 35
Geelong 59
Adelaide 50 - first time I've picked them this year, looks like I ranked them too high at the start of the year when I predicted 11th
St.Kilda 100 - Kosi & Milne to kick 15 between them

whats the dealio with the monday game?

whats the dealio with the monday game?

The AFL are trialing new times because there is one more game in two years, they either want a thursday night game, a Monday night game or a saturday twilight

[devilsadvocate]

whats the dealio with the monday game?

I really like the Monday time slot.
It makes getting out of bed easier on Monday morning knoking there is something to look forward to at the end of the day. (Having said that, if St Kilda play like they did Friday night just gone, Monday will be dire!!!)

I'd be pumped to see games spread over Thurs night, Fri night, Sat Arvo, Sat night, Sun arvo, Sun twilight and Mon night.

Same with me. I love the Monday night slot. Hopefully it is more regular when the two new sides come in!

I dont mind the sound of the monday night game, the probmlem is well not really a problem, but its only going to work in Melbourne.

[Baron Greenback]

I love it.
Come home after first day back at work and settle in to a relaxing night of footy.
Hope it happens every round next year.

Western Bulldogs

West Coast
Collingwood
Brisbane
Geelong
Adelaide
St. Kilda

afl season guide said monday night was to reduce number of games on mothers day as these game normally attract smaller crowds. I think monday night should be every week anyway

Agreed. St Kilda take three weeks to kick 100 let alone win by 100. Hope the Blues win.

100% agree! the more often games are on at different times, the better! loved when the pies played monday night last year! (except st.kilda belting us by 234,932 points!)

[JK]

I have to disagree with the different timeslots thing ... I really like the current format, Fri night gets everyones attention, 2 x Sat arvo to follow the other game if 1's a dud, if both are beauties you get to look forward to the replay of the other.

Same for Sat nights games, and then Sunday's game's are IMHO well spread, the one big downfall being the lack of live coverage of 1 of those games.

[Gingernuts]

I'm not sure about Monday night games, but I do like the Sunday evening games. Gives teams another opportunity to play a night game.

Are you feeling ok REB? Not like you to hope the Blues win

[Rik E Boy]

Are you feeling ok REB? Not like you to hope the Blues win

At least you guys play football. Believe it or not, I don't actually hate the Blues. There are a few teams I hate worse than them, even though I hate whoever plays the Cats on any given days. I barrack for two teams, the Cats and whoever plays the Hawks.
