2015 Fixture

[Janus]

The good thing about it is that Fremantle will be up for it, the same way that Carlton and then Adelaide were built up as gettable wins by the opposition. If you want a team that will live by the mantra of playing every game the way you would on GF day, Freo away is about as tough an ask as you can get, because there will be no complacency.

Round 1 - Fremantle
Round 2 - Sydney
Round 3 - Adelaide?
Round 4 - Geelong?

That's the stuff dreams are made of if you like the idea of getting stuck into arrogant teams supporters. I can feel another preview thread coming on when the fixture is announced...

I will be in the UK for 3 rounds in May but unless Port are drawn for consecutive home games in April or May I should only miss one home game. Going to Dublin on the 28th April and I'll be going to Scotland and Cambridge. Probably go to London for a couple of days at the end of my trip. Or to Sandwich, where I have a cousin.

This whole fixture thing gets me mad. It's total BS. The fans have stated that all they want is a fair draw but it's never going to happen. What hope do port have with a crow running the show and a crow running the FIXture. I hope the rumours about CWood being heavily consulted re the FIXture have no substance otherwise the Afl are worse than pathetic. End of rant

Don't worry about the fixture. If you're good enough you win the premiership. I'd rather be facing tough opposition in tough circumstances throughout the minor round because it's good preparation for finals. I can't remember whether our fixture in 2004 was good, bad or indifferent. It didn't matter, we were the best team. We won the flag. Last year Hawthorn had a harder fixture than anyone. It didn't matter. They were the best team and they won the flag.

Cowton n shitmond first game of 2015 what a crock of used Rolf Harris condoms talk about a *up

In the 2004 minor round we played 11 games against finalists from the previous year. Our record against finalists was 8-3 and we doubled up against 4 teams from the 2003 finals, Essendon, Collingwood, West Coast and the cows. However, our draw was a bit easier than it would be today as two of those were from the top 6, two from the middle 6 and we also doubled up against teams from the bottom 4 twice.

Would be great if we could actually play a home game on Anzac Day for once, not just Anzac round, don't see how we can't?

 

[Marmozet]

Looks like we won't be able to have a home game Round 7 for what will be Cornsey's 300th, unless he misses any games before then which is unlike Kane.

I know I'd rather be sitting among Freo fans at Subiaco than neck-deep in stripper **** and cheap prime rib.

 

[Hinkley Effect]

Happy to play Sydney at home

 

[DonDraper]

I had an initial fear that my brothers wedding was the day of the first game at AO. Thankfully it was the weekend after. Would've been out of the family otherwise.

Thanks for your kind words. Just need money to pay for it now......can't decide whether to sell body parts or turn to a life of crime.

Most of us spend enough on footy for a season that we have actually made that decision...I find this very unsettling.

An extract from the following article

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl...m_c=content-3&itm_o=39&itm_l=Fox Feed - Crows happy to draw short straw

While the Crows are being told they will end the 22-round home-and-away series against Essendon, the Power’s only advice on the closing round is that the match will be at Adelaide Oval against a so-far undeclared opponent.

So if some of the rumours are true, we could be playing Freo, Crows, Geelong, and Hawthorn to start the year. Talk about a trial by fire.

All I see there is 4 W's

 

[Schulzenfest]

We'll crush Geelong by 10 goals. Genuinely more worried about the Crows at this point.

60 points Geelong
40 points Adelaide

The crows will have a decent start to the season. The AFL will give them some easy games early to build some momentum the way they did with them in 2012 and with us in 2013.
