Daylight savings has been moved forward a few weeks this year, to Sunday October 5. Details here:

Why do I mention it on This August Forum?

'coz it's only the holiest day of the SANFL calendar, that's all.

Not sure if it's such a good idea, losing an hour's sleep prior to the grand final... those of us in attendance (not getting ahead of myself ) will be snoozing over the pre-game barbecues. And how would it be if the players rocked up an hour late, having slept in? Curtains fading is one thing, but screwing with the body clocks of a SANFL footballer is another thing entirely.

LMAO..some of the comments in that article, one would think the bloody world was coming to an end...

If sure the GF'ers will be committed enough to go to bed an hour earlier

Think of the poor cows, they won't know what time to give milk.

Given its an official 3.10pm start and its really 2.10pm which is not far off the standard start time.

Probably saves the SANFL some lighting costs for the final quarter and post game.

So does that mean it will be getting late earlier or will it be getting early later ?

This is a plot to take an hour off of our premiership year

Hopefully we gerzump these evil plotters and win it again

Yeah but you get to celebrate during the off-season an hour longer

Phil, thank you for sharing with everyone what your map of Tassie looks like.

Makes it an early start for the U19 Grand Final?

Yes it does, especially with the Eagles in with a good chance to be in it. But I'm not getting ahead of myself, we've got a couple games to go before we can get there.

Well this is just bloody typical...bet it was a committee of blokes...as if I don't have enough trouble with time zones
