Expect more Friday night games next season
Knowing the AFL, I expect the opposite.
They know we attract a following whenever we play, so they are just as likely to give us a whole bunch of dead spots to try and lift their overall ratings.
Nope you will find Ch7 has more say on what games are in the prime FTA spots next season....
They pay a fortune for the rights they want bang for their buck...not getting it in 2018 will demand it in 2019
Agree they are not getting it in 2018, but I see that as evidence supporting my point.
Channel 7 and Fox would surely have had significant input into the scheduling of games this season. So how else do we explain the high number of poor match-ups on Friday night? They must have supported the fixture, including Carlton getting so many Friday night games.
I think they were trying to spread the load for viewer numbers.
