What’s wrong with that? We’d get there a little late as it’s after school but reckon it’s not too bad at all

And what about those who travel from the country areas? You know the ones where it's a 2 hours one way trip into peak hour traffic?

And those who can't get away from their work early if at all?

I know personally I can't get there before 7pm so what's the point of going.

I get you can't please everyone but a Friday on a school/work day isn't a great time

I get that but if it’s at 7pm then it rules out a heap of primary school aged kids that live within metro Melbourne. Kind of damned do or not so I guess they are working back from who they are targeting and applying a lense of how they can best make it work.

My lense suggest having it on the weekend would have been easier and fairer on all members and supporters,  surely that's their target audience

Possibly but I am assuming high performance steps out the training intervals so maybe that was a factor.
