Trying to limit the effects of darkness at the end of the day, I would imagine.

Were those games scheduled for 3:00 PM before? I thought that was just the Dogs-Bays game. Makes sense then I guess.

Is 15 minutes going to make that much difference?

Yep, the reserves don't start until 12 due to ANZAC services about the 'burbs, they are obviously shortening some of the breaks in the reserves and/or the league pre-game stuff to get the earlier start time.

I'll say it'd be the League pre-game. The breaks in the Reserves game would be the same as normal I'd say.

Dont think it matters, in the current weather pattern it will be near dark by 5pm. All you need in a game is a stoppage of about 5 to 10 mins for a serious injury or two and it will be pitch black by the end. Luckily we are playing at Unley so we can manouvre our cars around the bollards to give sufficient light if needed in the last 1/4
