FNF has people tuned in regardless, it's just a matter of how long they stay tuned in before they check on the NRL score or what the Mrs is up to.

Paint it anyway you like, it's piss poor to reward Carlton with 1 Thursday and 4 Friday night games with the crap they served up last year. Simple.

It doesn't! It revolves around TV ratings & nobody but Carlton fans want to see Carlton get blown out 4 times on a Friday night.
Football fans want competitive games to watch in prime time

But it's my fault because I still watch even when the games are rubbish...

You get what you deserve in life generally.........
Someone will always whinge regardless of the draw, yes the time slots are favourable to Carlton.
You win some, you lose some...... it’s life!

Used Port as an example as i know our fixture more in depth than others, wouldn't matter if it was Port or not.

West Coast is a better example. Was knocked out in the semi finals and only get 1 Thursday night and 1 Friday night game.
