As an NRL fan I hate Monday night footy with a passion, it serves no benefit to anybody, its **** as a fan having to wait through the weekend, creates a short turnaround for the following round and my biggest beef is that crowds for monday nights are always and always will be ****. I see know reason to play a game on a monday night when theres a perfectly good saturday arvo slot that everyone loves.

I see no reason for the NRL or AFL to try and play games in funky time slots like thursdays and mondays, its ****ing stupid, especially in the NRL where we are already struggling to draw crowds, wtf is appealing about going to the footy on a monday night, nothing. nothing at all. monday night footy is in my top 3 issues with the game and possibly my top one. every NRL fan sighs when they see that their team is playing on a monday night.

**** monday night footy.

Traditionally, and this year once more, crowds on Mother's Day have been putrid. I don't really want it regularly, like we see in the NRL, but I think as a one off people enjoy it, and it solves the Mother's Day issue to some extent.

 

[Jono]

Not a one-off this year yeah? Think there's another Monday game somewhere.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, probably is. Again, don't mind it in small doses. Think it's a smart solution for this weekend.

Makes it a bit of an event, a turn off though if it was too often.

 

[Riggins]

if you're kicking out after a point, and the umpire calls play on, do you still need to kick it to your self?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yes, can't leave the goal square unless you kick it to yourself.

[Redbacks]

I'm out. I spend most of the month in woop woop and can't keep up.

 

[Jono]

Its ridiculous that I'm only on 46 tips here whereas on footytips.com.au I'm on 51 tips.

And I know exactly why that is. I always make my lame-ass last-minute tip changes here a few minutes before the game, whereas I never bother logging in and making any last-minute changes in footytips.com.au. Whilst these changes sometimes work out (see Freo over Gold Coast) they generally are **** (see Tigers over Freo, Port over Tigers etc.).

So basically what I am saying is Morgie can you change my score to 51.

[Spikey]

Lolz.

BTW, NRL can get away with monday night football more easily compared to AFL due to the time that the game finishes. NRL is finished by 8:45 while the Saints win didn't happen until after 10.

From a TV viewpoint, Monday night is awesome and makes the week between games shorter. I think with the AFL having to schedule 9 games on a weekend, there is room for a Monday night game, but I haven't looked at crowd figures or anything.
