Ok so, we know the idiots at the AFL schedule matches at sill times like Sunday and Monday nights, soley because of the TV viewing but ....

I myself prefer to go to the footy during the day, evenings I don't like as much as you don't leave till after 10pm

What are your preferred time slots for attending matches? 2pm, 4pm, 7pm?

Just thinking as there is no footy this Saturday afternoon till 4pm my time and I don't like it at al!!

toughen up TBAG why does it matter which time you go, go to support your team

it's a split round so only 5 games

tbagrocks

yeah five games, so one on Sat arvo and one Sunday arvo, really not that hard now is it!

4:40pm is the arvo

Don't like the Sunday 1:10pm games as it mucks up my morning and I struggle to get there after church.  Worse earlier in the season as it is 12:10 due to daylight saving.

Think Saturday Night games should revert to the 7:10pm start as well.

Anybody else been to every timeslot? Thursday night, friday night, saturday day, saturday night, sunday day, sunday twilight/night, monday

I went to all of them last year :3 I love Friday nighters to go to, Satuday nights to watch on tv. Saturday arvo games that end when it's just starting to get dark are great too.

Actually don't mind the twilight as a fan, it is the early Sunday game that is annoying buy we deal with it

In terms of going to a game, I would have to say Saturday arvo (2pm) or Sat twilight are my favourite times to go

Don't mind Friday night or Sunday arvo (not twilight)

Like to stay in on Sat night and watch, as opposed to going

Have been to games in all time slots Jukes except Saturday afternoon which Lions do not seem to get. Worst time slot for me is the early Sunday game but do not mind the others,

Saturday arvo is my clear favourite although I'd prefer both matches at the same time at 2:10. Twilights should go back to 4:10 and Sat Night back to 7:10. The 1:10 game is purely for viewing purposes, I'd prefer 2 games at 2:30 on a Saturday Arvo personally.

Sadly...all games are good games... :-\

I really don't care. I have been to them all, Thursday nights Round 1, Monday night against the Saints, other night games felt the same. I liked to sleep in on Saturday's and Sunday's so the earlier starts were just annoying, I preferred the 2.10 start to say 1.10/1.45 due to public transport being terrible and the same goes with the parking situation. I also like Sunday night football, it beats the crap of singing/cooking/dancing shows that are on. In terms of fantasy I also liked the Monday night games over the Thursday's just because you would get a better scope of the Sunday teams. 

I actually miss going to watch night games at the G in the rain. It's a really awesome to see the beads of rain reflecting off the lights while the game is going on around you. It is probably one of the only times a game of football takes control of all your senses.

Love going to to the footy friday night right after work.

Ya can't beat a Friday night.
Like the traditional Saturday at 2.10 as well.
Sunday twilight is the worst
