If you were at the 2014 Family Day and melted in the heat like I did, then a twilight intra-club match sounds like a great idea. And don't worry Dave, Daniel Andrews will have trains running every 10 minutes on the Frankston line on that night - probably every night if the truth be known; those sand-belt seats proved very handy in Labor's big win last month

If they want it at night then make it a Saturday night.
You city slickers need to stop thinking all supporters live within a drop punt of the G. |
2nd That. I would not get home until 11 at night.
Hope they have a Live Video Stream of the Match

It's a major part hence the food trucks, membership and merchandise available for purchase.
A full scale intra club match should be held the same time as the family day/night. |
good to see then they are not pandering to the minority.

Is this really something worth complaining about?
February is arguably the hottest month of the year so I think an early evening intra-club match is appropriate in the circumstances. I might get down there if I have time!

Better Time would been 4:30 - 5pm not 6:30

No I disagree! People are still working or finishing up work at this stage and it's also regarded as the hottest part of the day in summer typically.
6:30 is an ideal time for most people when it comes to work and weather temperatures as well.

If the game was on Friday Night then I would agree but Thursday Night just stops people with Family not to go.
Should have Live Stream of it

it's just an intraclub match. the average supporter is not going to give two $^%£$^£" about it.

Exactly JW! I don't see what the big deal is to be honest.
The club has allocated a time for the game and they've given members and supporters ample time to prepare and be aware that a match of this nature is taking place on February 19.
If you can attend then fantastic but if you can't then it's not the end of the world!

Then why Advertise it and Ask for People to come down and Watch?
Why just not have it

As a supporter of the Football club I trust the club will do whatever is best suited for the players who represent us. I don't give a tinkers cuss about the whingers complaining about the timing of a practice match. I care even less that the biggest complaint comes from someone who doesn't go to school and probably doesn't have a job.Last time I looked the Collingwood was an inner suburban suburb. If you don't like it go and follow a club like StKilda which is based in Seaford, much closer to where no one else wants to live. While you are at start complaining about the timing of day nighters in the cricket. Funny, we survived on Thursday night practice games at Victoria park for a century.

My mighty Collingwood Football Club is, and always has been, an inner suburban football club. After having existed there since 1892, some are going crook that they live a distance from our home base.
A Thursday night practice match doesn't suit you? What do you think we have been doing for a 100 years - we have been training on weeknights!
Some will whinge about anything I guess.
Ever thought about following Geelong or maybe the Bulldogs who will now have a toe hold in Ballarat? |

Because they've informed members and supporters that such a match will be taking place and if you can come on down to watch the boys in action then fantastic but if you cannot it doesn't matter. The club has done the right thing informing the supporters now of the time and date of when the match is occurring so people can be aware that it is taking place and may want to watch the training session if the time suits them.
The club has no obligation to pander to you and I on when they want to play this practice game. For example, if they want to play it at 10:30pm at night because the coaches feel it would be good for the players then who am I to complain about it. Also this is the Collingwood Football Club so you cannot feel hard done by if you live too far away from the inner-city areas in the first place no matter how harsh it may sound.
I'm sure our coaches have factored in weather, time and fitness levels when it comes to this game. 6:30pm at night in February isn't dark but come 8 to 9pm it will become dark. Maybe Buckley and Co feel that having both some daylight and night time football will be good for our players.
I might get down there if I have time but if I don't then I won't lose any sleep over it.
