During the week it was revealed<\/a> that Friday night TV audiences were down by almost 20 per cent in Melbourne on last year\u2019s figures.<\/p>\n CARO: The TV ratings are a massive concern. I don\u2019t know why a Showdown on a Friday night isn\u2019t scheduled.<\/p>— RoweyandBicks (@RoweyandBicks) May 31, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a massive concern and I think it\u2019s the AFL\u2019s own fault,\u201d Caro told FIVEAA. \u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about Friday night footy on this show for the entire year — particularly about Carlton.\u201d<\/h3>\n
\u201cWe criticised the timing of the Showdown\u2026 The AFL feel that South Australians will watch the Showdown at any time, but why don\u2019t we get to see the Showdown one year on a Friday night, as the talking point of the entire weekend?<\/h3>\n
\u201cNo one had huge confidence about St Kilda this year. No one had huge confidence about Carlton this year and yet Carlton have had four Friday night games and St Kilda have got a couple as well and it\u2019s impossible to understand why.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
