Oh, and 1600 is the time, not the crowd. Crowd will be about 300 - and that's if there's a school excursion of 200 kids.

What a ridiculous time to play a game.

Something to do with the lead in times to both sides round 1 games perhaps??

True, but Carlton do have the Thursday night game. Perhaps they requested as close to an even fortnight break as possible?

The 4pm start would be so that the travelling team can get a flight home that night.

Looks Maric will return

Normally that would be the case, but the Crows have decided to stay the night in Melbourne. For some reason they were contemplating starting the game at 2:30pm Friday afternoon so the Crows could make it a day trip.

As dumb as this timeslot is the AFL have been playing Visy Park trial matches mid Friday arvo for yonks!

Gives the Carlton boys time to shower up and make Friday happy hour.....
