And on a Friday night, no less! It begs the question: are we being rewarded or are the Suns being rewarded? Somehow I doubt it is us.
It has been two years since we have won and been on free-to-air TV.
Live Long and Prosper!

Great, another Friday night game that will ruin the week for us.

 I think we've been involved in two or the best three games to watch all season.

We have a very poor record on Friday nights. We haven't won one of them for years! I can't even remember the last Friday Night game we won! I don't think Bolton managed one. Teague hasn't yet because we haven't had any. Malthouse?

No it isn't, but it fascinates me, how does that happen or keep happening? Does it play on the players minds? Do our blokes just struggle under lights (ie eye issues)? Or are we just crapola on the big stage? Someone should do a thesis on that... AND ALSO WHY WE KEEP LOSING TO DIRTY ROTTEN STINKIN HAWTHORN AARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

2 things.

1. They usually have big games on friday nights. So teams who are finals bound usually get at least 1 spot, if not 2. Given we have never really been finals bound in recent history, it means we are coming up against a higher ranked opponent.

2. We haven't really won any games in recent years at all! Friday, saturday, sunday......thursday....i think we have a good record on mondays, but not sure.

 I wonder if this says something about how professionally we recover, or the toll our game plans take on the team!

Off the top of my head i think its because we've played st kilda a few times on monday nights.
Its not about DAYS, its about the opponent. Fridays are a harder opponent than Mondays. Thats the way the AFL run things for ratings

EDIT: We've played St. Kilda 5 times from our last 6 monday night games. For a 3-2 record.
We also beat Geelong, Brisbane and Richmond for the other 3 games.
