It is was Friday night I might be able to do it

But Thursday night? No way I can do that

End of month, end of fin year are sort of busy times for an accountant

I have flights booked for the weekend only. Will likely still go up to see my family seeing I missed a very important family event the other week

But I had promised my great niece I'd take her to first game of footy. Will have to break her heart and tell she can't go

Ones Gil and Travis Auld you put of touch morons  :banghead

Why can’t they just leave it till the Sat?

Why the need for a Thursday night footy. :huh

So much for maximising crowds  :banghead

They AFL bang on about it being a priority but clearly that's just crap

Appeasing the broadcasters is the priority

Im sure shocking would rather have us play at night to nullify our dominance on the scoreboard. This decision makes no sense, but it is shocking after all.

when are tickets available, we are heading up Thursday morning.

stuffs me over too and I only live an hour away in Brisbane. I was planning a weekend on the GC, pumping money into the local economy severely impacted by Covid. Oh well, guess I will drive down Thursday arvo and back late Thursday night in time for work on Friday.

Shocking is rightly to blame for most things wrong with the game these days

But he doesn't do the fixturing, has very little if any input

This monumental stuff up falls at the feet of one Travis Auld... formerly the CEO of the Gold Coast Suns... you'd think he'd have more of a clue but clearly not... to many lattes with Shocking and Gil perhaps  :banghead

its the same thing WP. Im sure they all sit down and have a good chat about things.

Much like shocking and scott last year over our dominance

Its not as if we are dominating so why change the date? Pathetic
