That's not a bad draw for us in my opinion. The Doggies always start off the season slow and we get to beat... ooops I mean play the Carring Bush twice next season!! I would have liked us not to play Brisbane twice again next season, but I guess you can't have everything your own way, and we do finish the season at home which is good.
Go Cats!!

The draw ain't bad, though I am a tad annoyed that our home game against Collingwood isn't at the MCG. The Pies got the gate from our match at the G last year, and this year we were supposedly meant to get all the profits. Oh well, it happens I guess.

Eight out of 11 home games at Kardinia Park. Can't complain about that. :)
Not to mention on travels outside Victoria in the first six weeks as well.
No complaints about this schedule, at first glance. Seems quite favorable...
Cheers,
William
At least we don't have to go to Adelaide.

I'm looking forward to these matches. We've never played the Roos in Caberra, but we did play them at the SCG in 1999. But we usually do pretty well in Sydney so I'm happy! :)
Go Cats!!:)

Someone, somewhere else on Big Footy pointed out that Geelong has the toughest draw in 2003, based on 2002, but I don't know.
We play Collingwood twice for the first time in a long time and we always seem to beat them, only 4 interstate trips (plus Manuka), isn't too bad when you consider we don't go to Adelaide, I much prefer playing at Subiaco rather than Football park.
Out of the the seven teams we play twice, we beat five of them last season, losing only to the Bulldogs and Brisbane.
It would have been nice if we could have, just for once, hosted 3 of the 'so-called' big 4, but then it would be too much to expect a fair draw in that regard.

Considering we've only ever won 2 games there (plus a draw) in our history, I'm not the slightest bit disappointed with not having to play at Football Park... ooops I mean AAMI Stadium!! :D

If people want to think that, then that's good. Because IMO we have a good draw and when we do well next year people will go: "Gee, they've done well with their tough draw!"
Go Cats!!:)

Im pretty happy with the draw, although I wanted to play in Adelaide once, coz i wanted to make a trip out it this year. But, you can't really complain! Playing Collingwood twice is great! And we also don't play Hawthorn twice which is also good. I am happy with playing all of St Kilda, Melbourne, Bulldogs, West Coast and Kangaroos twice.
I am disappointed with 5/8 being Sunday games at Skilled, merely from a personal point of view, I prefer Saturday games (perhaps I need to not leave study to Sundays ;)), I am also a bit funny with us having to play at Manuka, I like being able to abuse Scumbag in the flesh.
I guess it means that Brisbane are going to have three Brownlow medalists in a row? Im gonna put my money on Lappin this year ;) Hope he has a full season, but then again, I might have a selection of votes.. Voss, Acne, Black, Headland..... Luck Dip.
I think that next years draw is very much in our favor. I would prefer to go to Adelaide once, and WA once though. Since we have to go to WA twice we are in greater danger of injuries and playing poorly the week after (according to statistics)

Not too bad. Essendon get our money again :(
The draw doesn't look too bad. But I have one request, can everybody please call the 'Telstra Dome' the Mil Hanna Dome from now on?
I'm not really pleased with the draw. 5 interstate trips again, every year it's either 5 or 6 trips interstate. To compensate for not going to Adelaide we have to make another trip to Perth and a trip to Canberra.
2 games against our bitches (Collingwood) is a positive.
Loz, I'll abuse Colbert an extra little bit for you in Canberra, because at this stage I'll make the trip up but it's a long way off so I might end up staying at home.

This could be a tough month.

Good points Harry. It is a timely break for us.
Already spoken about this with a friend, but do you guys think we will split the money with Collingwood for our 2 games next year? Because they play at the G for their home game. I shouldn't see why not.
Thanks Joel :D I expect you do a lot of mouthing off ;) I will bag him telepathically.

The only complaints I have are the two interstate games in a row & only 5 night games. But other than that it's really good! :)

Hey Loz (no more sleeps!!! ;) ) , I might drive up to Canberra with a couple of North mates if you want to come with us ;) ;) :D

Come to think of it... that game in Canberra falls on the weekend of Jen's birthday. We've already talked about this-- and although it's a long way off yet (as is the season itself), perhaps, just perhaps....
ROAD TRIP!!
Could be in the offing, we'll just wait and see. :)

Garry Davidson should've checked the draw more carefully before commenting.Yesterday on K-ROCK news he mentioned it was going to be tough playing in Perth on the saturday night,then backing up the following Friday against essendon.

I would back Geelong beating Sydney at the SCG next year as the Swans will be going through a rebuilding phase and we play the smaller SCG ground pretty well as a rule.
The West Coast game at Subiaco will be a tough ask but we have had the wood on them over the past few seasons so I would still be hopeful of beating them over there. We also have a good record at Subiaco Oval, so we shouldn't be daunted by playing them at the so called "Fortress Of Pain".
Go Cats!!

I've seen a few people suggest a road trip to Canberra. What a damn good idea. Let's get some booze, a minibus and as many Cat fans as possible and run amok in our nations capital.
So who's up for it?

Count Jen and I in... pending her possible "bun in the oven" situation, for which we have clues now, but nothing is for certain (until next week). :D
The Kangaroos game at Manuka Oval falls on the weekend of her birthday, and a road trip to Canberra would be a perfect excuse to celebrate. :D :D
So count us in, Catman... for now. :)
Cheers,

OK, your on the list you_idiot, but considering the game is not until late July next year, we might not end up going. It's too early to make anything definite.

You email addy gave it away, Joel! ;)
Count me in!!! Actually, my father is a group-tour operator, and has plenty-o-contacts everywhere, in particular in our Nation's capital. So he sure can organise travel up/back/accomodation et al. I have a sneaking suspicion that I should still be on mid-semester holidays at the time, hopefully... so for sure! Head up Friday night, Game, then boozing all night. So it could be great.
Im up for it for sure. I had all intentions on going to sydney or perth next year, but Canberra would be great! Would only coat about $100-120, plus meals, ticket etc.. not too bad.

Only about $100-120. Bargain!!!!
So your tour operator Loz, it's official. ;)
As for Uni, if i remember this year and last year, the 2nd semester starts about the week of Round 16 or Round 17, we play the Colberoos in Round 17 so we wont miss much, there will be no major assignments due or anything like that.

We'll be celebrating a Cats victory so as long there's somewhere to celebrate it then I don't care how boring it is!!!
But I wouldn't want to be spending too long there, a little too cold for me.

Haha, yeah, I will be the middle man in between you guys and my father.. but i'll take all the credit! Of course we are going to have to recruit more people to take up the challenge as well. I dunno precisely the amount required, but I would think it would need to be 30 people in order to get a good price for a coach (4-5 star of course!). So get cracking with posing the idea to family/friends. But it should be a riot.
Yeah Catman, what really is the first week of uni, honestly! I'm thinking the same right now about week 13... wonder if i'll turn up!

Week 13, that's study week, isn't it? I'm never sure. I don't take much notice of the weeks, just when assignments are due and when exams are.

OK, I'm sure I could get a few people interested. We should put up a post on Cats Claw. There's bound to be enough people interested on there.

Sounds like a plan then! You seem to be a good deputy Joel ;)
If we can get some tentative numbers in a couple of months time, then we can work out the rough price, which of course is determined by getting the minimum numbers. Of course if we explain to people, the more people, the less per head it will be. If we fall short, I'm sure Jan might be interested and maybe only a handful of the Cheersquad committee would go anyways, so dunno, we should start the ball rolling with letting people think about it. What ever happens, we'd all go out Saturday night and sleep on the coach all day coming home. We'd have to have a Geelong pick up first, then a Melbourne pick up, I aint going to Geelong just get picked up then taken straight through Melbourne again!
I could take over my Dad's business, yet ;)
I'll keep pestering father about some of the issues etc.. and maybe discuss a bit more of the arrangements.
SO WATCH THIS SPACE... its only, what 10 months away.. probably want to book start of next year some time, id reckon.
