If anyone from down south is planning a trip to the Gabba for the footy, rounds 2-3 look like the go. Unfurling the premiership flag against Hawthorn, then a Saturday night grand final replay. Should be good. Hope to see you all there.

We're considering coming up for Round 2 V Hawks to see the flag unfurled.

I wish there were more games in Vic! :( I'll miss going to see us play Carlton at Princes Park. :(

Still, the location, and time of the games is reasonably good. 4 Saturday night games is excellent, by my preferences. And Saturday 'day' games are always great!

And we still get to go down to Geelong! :D

As long as we beat Richmond down here, I'll be happy! (Of course, I want to beat everyone though! ;)).

From a Brisbanites point of view, the draw is a ripper. 12 games at the Gabba and two pre-season games here as well. Only one game at the MCG, which is a bit disappointing.

BUT......

Why on earth haven't the Vic based supporters been given at least one preseason game. It's really rough only having 2 games in 3 months. Can the AFL give the Lions 10 home games at the Gabba and the Melbourne "away" game (total of 11 at the gabba) and play an extra game in Melbourne? Or do they have to give the Lions 11 home games? NOT HAPPY WAYNE!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
