Unofficial Preview 2015 NMFC Fixture Thread (full fixture PG11/post 256)

[KangaFan35]

Adelaide aren't that good, Melbourne beat them over there.

 

[Pykie]

I take a more logical view, imo Rnd 1 and rounds after the byes are excellent times to eat up interstate trips.

There's no short weeks etc and we give ourself the best chance at knocking off a 50/50 match earlier in the year, with full fitness

 

[Only Forwards]

We will win round 1.

We are due for it.

 

[TruRoos7]

Paddy Dan"J"erfield to play a blinder against us just to shore up the huge offer we are going to make to him.

 

[scooby1279]

at least we get 1 interstate game out of the way early, it hasn't made a difference where we have played we are just s**t in round 1 so if we win it will be a big bonus (interstate trip out of the way and the 4 points).

 

[SDog]

Any whispers on who North play in Tassie next year?

 

[Pykie]

Oh lord, the Monday is a public holiday, I will be making the trip over.

I think we shift the mod meeting from the Chaddy food court to the Crazy Horse..........

Done! Do they still have the glass bath at the end of the stage?

I hadn't factored in Easter. We'll be there for sure.

 

[Wild Bill]

So we have the Crows in round 1 in SA. With our typical poor starts I was hoping for the Dees!!

We ended their season in Tassie and with a new coach in front of a big crowd this will be a very big ask.

I'm happy to be playing them round 1.
Just wish it was in Melbourne.

Brisbane is probably a pretty bad bottom 8 double to cop, I'd be trying to avoid them and the GC.

That sounds pretty good - the double ups not as tough as I'd expect given our finishing position last season.

I hope ur right. 2 games in QLD is great for me.

Is playing a good/well supported VIC team a waste to play at Hobart? Much rather play interstate or Saints/Doggies/Demons there.

So we double against 4 top 8 teams and 1 middle (interestate) team? Seems tougher than normal no?

very happy if thats the case. I expect essendon, richmond, brisbane to miss finals. With Geelong sliding down the ladder a bit. Decent draw for a prelim finish

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Yep, we seem to play them twice a lot and it feels we drop at least one even when we're killing it and theyre barely fielding a team.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Finishing fourth yet only having to play Port, Sydney and Hawthorn once the following year would definitely be a free hit at another GF tilt.

 

[scooby1279]

we wish it was that draw, fingers crossed.

I could certainly live with that. Long trip for West Coast if that's true though.

What I deduce from that is, home games at etihad: Brisbane, Freo, Sydney, GWS, Port Adelaide, Essendon, Geelong, and 2 of Collingwood, WB, Hawthorn, Melbourne, and Carlton.

Other Melbourne based away games will be: Richmond and Essendon (rich at the G, ess at etihad?) and 3 of of Collingwood, Melbourne, WB, Hawks, and Carlton. I think we'll get home against Carlton and Hawks. Away games against WB at ethiad, Collingwood at the G and Melbourne at the G. So three games at the G in total.

Etihad 'blockbusters': vs Hawks, vs Geelong, vs Essendon, vs Carlton. That's it. Then just games vs interstaters. I hope that Sydney and Port (and maybe even Freo) games end up drawing decent crowds for what will be big games.

 

[radiojake]

Easter Sunday...a weekend away in Adelaide maybe...is MAGIC MOUNTAIN still running?

Not for a long time have we been graced by the presence of the giant dog turd -

was a great place to go during school holidays...

 

[SugarCoat]

Andrew Newbold was just on radio.
Said you have a home game against Hawthorn in Tasmania.
And a return game against them at the MCG.

 

[jess_1804]

I'd say Carlton will be a home game at Etihad. Seems to alternate every year and they had their home game this year.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Any chance of playing Sydney in Melbourne?

Or West Coast / Freo?

To me it was a great place to stagger past on the traditional mid 90's midnight drunken journey from The Grand to Lenny's.
