Collingwood at home on a Friday night, hey?

Much more balanced than this years. Travel through the year not just the second half of the year.

Not a big fan of last 5 rounds

Subi, Subia and SCG

Personally i dont think its a legitimate version

seems unlikely we would play Collingwood twice.

3 of the first 5 are twilight sunday games with PA away in round 1 and Melbourne on a sunday afternoon round 2. Gee, if this is legit they really are pissed off that we didn't go to the Gold Coast.

And when was the last time we played Adelaide at the MCG or in Melbourne for that matter?

I honestly don't think they give us that sort of time. They fill the fixture in from the top with Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Sydney, West Coast, Adelaide, Fremantle etc. working their way downwards to us. Whatever we get is simply the leftovers.

We only have 1 home game on a sunday if that draw is correct.... doesnt sound like the afl

All our home games on Friday night or Saturday bar one v Essendon is good.
Only two home games against interstate sides is good

7 interstate games and one at Geelong is not.

This makes it a 14 game membership compared to 15 last year.

A possible 14 games in Melbourne? I just bought a 16 home and away membership that has 16 home and away games at the MCG or Etihad, so this cant be right. If so, I want compensation for those 2 games I'm not going to get to see.

If true it's reasonable for us in recent years. Plenty of Saturday afternoon & night games which gives us a chance at some half reasonable FTA coverage. Only a couple of Friday's which is about usual for us, they are home games but we all know that it's the ratings which are the big deal for Friday's. Wouldn't mind an extra one or two as an away team for a change.

Lack of Sunday games and FTA exposure makes me think that there is no way this is accurate

Still the same teams twice. Still no Essendon twice. I think it's beyond a joke now, for some reason the AFL has decided that Carlton are one of our rivals and we get them twice every year.

P.S. I'm sick of playing Port Adelaide so much and at the two pointy ends.

I'd suggest that is a very good indication that it is not the correct fixture.

Yet again, we don't get to play the dons twice!!

As I tipped, we play port at the end too.
