TV ratings
You can bet your bottom dollar that the sides that need to win to make the finals or stay in the finals will be playing on the Sunday to make those games as relevant as possible to the target of the TV corporations advertising revenue.
Wouldn't mind betting it'll be hawthorn Collingwood on the fri night, Hawthorn needing to win to make top four or stay in, two big Melbourne clubs Ch 7 would think that's special.....
