Why is it so??

Unless I have missed something, the Tigers only have one more home game at the G during the day, and that is the last match against St. Kilda.

I'm sick of the so called twight games and night games. I do want to go to the Dome or the G during the day, when sensible games get played.

Are we the only team to suffer this malaise??
 
I like night and twilight games.

That said, there should be an even mix of day, night and twilight games. But once again that AFL can't manage even that.
 
We do get a fair share of night and day games, if i remember counting them a while ago i thinks its 11 night and 11 day games, that aint to bad

We do seem to play better in the day eg Swans & West Coast.

Night games are too late for some

They're past some of the players bed times
 
I seem to remember (although I sometimes imagine things) that in our list of requests to the morons who set the draw playing maximal amount of night games was around the 3rd thing listed.

This was during the Spud era and things may have changed since then, then again maybe they haven't.
 
I take it the AFL have bowed to Fox and have these twilight games so they can have their games live.

I don't know why all teams would not want to play Richmond twice a year because it would mean a win for them both times (at the moment). And when we become a power, well, then lookout!

A lot on here would not have heard of the now famous but passed on Julius Sumner Miller. He was entertaining, not like the Dawks and Sinners.
 
im all up for nights, as long as it's fri and Sat. The sunday night thing just doesnt work with alot of tigers. . . many have work Monday, or have to tkae kids to school etc. . . .its a tad un fair to the punter that wants a bevy or 3 when theyv got to front up monday with a richmond hangover!!!!
 
Love the day games, Dad and I come in, have a few brews, *smile* about our wives, and then watch the game :cutelaugh

Night games are okay, but I miss then often because of other commitments, and end up watching replays.

As for twilight....hate hate hate. Worst part of the day, as you cannot do anything during the day and your night is gone too. Sadly better to sit in front of the beer and enjoy a pizza.
