    Collingwood and Friday Night Football

    Sorry if this repeats and earlier thread but I just annoyed myself and worked out that Collingwood played on Friday Night Football 6 times out of a possible 21 ( No game on Good Friday) This equates to 28.5%.
    Possibly no coincidence that the host is Collingwood president. Probably worth money for Collingwood.
    Comments?

    Collingwood continually crow about how marvellously set up they are whilst they get an enormous boost (in potential for sponsors) through 'Eddie everywheres' Tv connections.

    The most watched AFl game in history is reportedly the Sydney/North Grand Final not an Emirates logo or Sam Newman in sight!

    The Friday night bias and 'special' games afforded the Pies are not fair.

    Remember when they made one of those recent losing grand finals they had a long run of Friday games into the finals...another dream run for a moderate team.

    Incidentally reports early today that Pies had offered Scotty Clayton twice his pay at Footscray to be their Recruiting Manager......

    why do they have a problem there?
    Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun

    I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl Warren

    Because you can't spare the time or effort to sort it the way it should be.

    I reckon you should send those thoughts into White Line Fever.
