Hi guys

i know some people don't like games on either of these nights but are they better then the alternative which is 5 games on Saturday's?

i think it's better to have a game on Thursday or Monday night each and every week

I love the current setup tbh.

Friday night should always be a good match up, then 5 games going all Saturday I love followed by 3 on Sunday (The Sunday 1pm game should be the crap game of the round IMO)

Don't mind the occasional Thursday game or even Monday, but once or twice a year is enough, love the current timetable

Plus a couple are still trying for Good Friday which I feel should not be allowed. Leave the set up as is for now.

I don't mind games on Thursdays and Mondays, I guess that's because it suits my schedule well at the moment.

Football doesn't work well on school nights. You get less crowds to the game and it's definitely not as profitable. On holidays it is alright, but not during the middle of the week.

I don't think it's that bad having 5 games on a Saturday. It means from 1-10:30 there is a game of football going on which works out pretty well.

Whenever Carlton play on Mondays (saints] they get great crowds. Carlton v Richmond on a Thursday night always gets 80k too.

Thursday Night games would get amazing ratings. Nothing else is on. I'm all for it.

The Footy Show is on?

Unless we're automatically assuming that because "nothing else is on" and the footy is to be moved to Thursday night that the Footy Show automatically gets moved to Wednesday?

In which case, I wouldn't be cool with that. It'd clash with Spicks and Specks. >:( :(

5 Saturday games gets annoying...but there would not be many going on a Monday!
then again there would be probably a lot more people watching on tv....

This.

Having Monday/Thursday night games wouldnt work in school holidays because all the states have different holiday times

I like Thursday nighters! Would not oppose to this at all

More people watch the footy than the footy show.

Friday is like the end of the week, so Thursday being a school night isn't that bad.

I really don't like 5 games on a Saturday.

to be honest getting home on a Monday I think " crap it's Monday, still have the whole week ahead of me. Sweet!!!!! the footy's on!"
too bad it's usually carlton v Melbourne or a below average game

What about 2 games on Friday night like league do it?

I don't particularly agree with it but it could work instead of Thursday/Monday footy
