Mods, please merge this thread elsewhere if need be!

AFL has just released the round 23 fixture. Our match v Sydney is at 1.45pm on Saturday which seemed the most logical time.

Other games of interest:

- Hawthorn v West Coast, Friday night at MCG
- Collingwood v Essendon, Saturday night at MCG

 

[frggr]

We might be match of the round, in that case!

 

[Selective Retention]

Lucky we were playing the Swans in the last round really.

Could have easily bent us over and played the game on the sunday otherwise.

You'd think top 4 will play friday and saturday night in first week of finals, especially if the interstate sides stay top 2.

 

[winty]

Will be a massive game that one. Hawkins is due to play his 100th, and Duncan his 50th.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

The AFL probably wouldn't be heartbroken to see West Coast continue to slide, removing their issue of scheduling a finals game at Patersons, when there a rugby test against the Springboks on the Saturday.

 

[Jmac2225]

Is it at Simonds or Etihad?

 

[pinion]

and looks likely to be the channel 7 game, thankfully, as i've just cancelled foxtel

Simonds.

 

[Varcoe2Chapman]

If we met freo in week 1 of finals, surely we would play them at the 'G? Surely!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Was always going to be this time, should be a cracking game.

I am just glad they didn't make the Collingwood Essendon game Sat arvo (as one article I read a couple of weeks ago proposed) as that would have been a nightmare for those of us coming down from Melbourne and trying to get back after the game.

hi all,

does anyone have a spare ticket for the cats v swans game in two weeks?

happy to pay full price

send me a pm if you have one available

cheers

[Eastwood]

I'm keen for tickets as well and will put my hand up for four adult tickets (just because life can sometimes do freaky things like make four adult tickets available). PM me.

 

[SJ]

Surely the seat resale tickets haven't gone on sale yet.

 

[Eastwood]

I just got off the phone with ticketmaster. They told me all tickets sold in 30 minutes this morning. Said there may be single tickets come available at certain points and to keep checking the website. I was responsible for getting a group of four mates who go to every Sydney and Geelong game each year. So have screwed up.

 

[corio bay]

hopefully not, spoke to ticketmaster and got the same line as Eastwood got.

here's hoping a few more become available

Well, if we had that matchup, it is most likely to be North v West Coast as well, with North the home team. If they were going to play a game at Etihad in the first week, NM V WC is the one they'd choose.

 

[CatTricks]

If anyone wants to sell me 2 adult tickets - pref weather protected I will not say no..

 

[Shell]

You could play that one on the moon, we'd smash them either way.

And go Catters tomorrow and next week!!!! Will be looking on.... eh from some computer.. or an ipad from a bus

It all depends on how many games are in Vic. The 4th game would be at Etihad but if its the only game in Vic it would be at the G. Remember we played them there in 2010 2nd week of the finals

 

[Turbocat]

Watching Syd today , they are very hardened unit but I can see why some people do have a little doubt on them. They haven't got a Hawkins or a Franklin. They are a little over reliant on Goodes who imo , is starting to show signs that he has ast his peak. Still a very good player though. They are just very solid everywhere.

Can we beat. YES WE CAN. We just need to do what we have been doing and we will go very close.

You'll be on a bus when both games are on - are you auditioning for Speed 3 and can't get off it because it can't go under 50 miles or it'll blow up ?

I think it was called... the bus that couldnt slow down!!!

Sydney are very even and disciplined but just don't have enough weapons to put teams away. They can dominate large parts of matches and still lose.
