Just curious as to why it's not a more popular time slot. The latest game on a Sunday starts usually before 6. Never a 7:30 start. I find that funny as I would think a 7:30 Sunday game is a great spot for ratings, much like Thursday night - more people are at home.

As a comparison, in the NFL the sunday night game is one of the biggest games of the week. Not saying we should be like the americans but it's an interesting comparison.

Only reason I can think of is that the tv networks like having their big reality shows on at the time. Maybe Aussies are just in bed earlier on a Sunday night and dont wanna be up till 10pm?
