Did you want more Friday Night Games?

Double Up?

6 day breaks?

Boomer's 400th?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Our draw is pretty handy. B+.

 

[Saintly31]

Apart from lack of Friday night games, I have no issue with it.

I'd also give it a B+.

 

[RobZombie]

Only 2 Fridays both against *ess is a bit weird. Offset by the 7 Saturday nights, which is itself in turn offset by BT.

The 2 double-ups from the top 6 are about as good as we could have wished for.

No short breaks around interstate trips is good.

Boomer unlikely to play #400 in Melbourne is a bugger.

Seems commercially OK.

3 Hobart games was inevitable, don't mind the Richmond one as I'll probably go and the joint will go off.

B+

 

[Orange Peanut]

Ticks for the opponents and the Saturday nights

Crosses for the Friday nights, boomers 400th and 5 consecutive weeks without a Melb home game.

Overall a B for mine.

 

[Tas]

8 interstate away games, I assume more than any other Victorian club yet again, despite selling a third home game.

 

[B4Bear]

A for me.

Easiest return games for a top 4 team.

Love Sat night games, especially at home.

Rapt for the Hobart members getting Richmond, and we still get to play them at ES.

Plenty of FTA coverage.

19-3 here we come. Pen it in.

8 interstate games, but 3 of them are our 'home' games.

 

[roosmad]

I like it, boomer will be rested to play 400 in melbourne bookmark it.....

Don't think you can count the Hobart games.

Most Vic teams get 5. A couple 6 and a couple 4 so we're sitting right in the average.

Yeah, i read the article from the website which made it sound like 8 interstate games plus hobart games, it is just 5+3 which isn't bad.

It sucks that he'll need to be rested for 3 games for it to be a home game, but an Etihad Stadium game vs Carlton wouldn't be so bad.

 

[muttley45]

Saturday night is the new Friday night, after we establish it as a good ratings grabber, watch us get shunted to Sunday's

 

[utility]

To B or not to B?

 

[the big lebowski]

B: thought it would be tougher given we finished fourth. Tough start though.

 

[naturally north]

nine of our first 11 on FTA. That's huge IMO.

Friday nights maybe cool and all, but for the majority of our fans I think Saturday night is better.

A huge chance of 16-19 wins.

Can't wait for the Sydney clash here!

Will be heading across for the tigers match. ( any floors available?)

We've done ok, * twice on Friday night? The AFL is clearly trolling them.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

I like it. I am under no illusion that Boomer will play his 400th in Brissie. He'll be rested for sure...and so he should be. It'll be massive.

Where did our annual friday night game against Carlton go?

 

[Shinboner '07]

Really hoping boomer is rested for the Brisbane game. Every north fan needs to be there for his 400th

 

[winalotroos]

B for me, it's not a bad draw, so much for earning Friday night games AFL full of s**t, Boomer playing 400 in Brisbane, what dick came up with that it's not like you play 400 every day should be at home.

2015 count (2014) [2013]

Six day breaks: 7 (8) [8]
Interstate away trips: 5 (6) [5]
Friday night: 2 (5) [3]
Saturday: 5 (5) [7]
Saturday night: 7 (3) [2]
Sunday: 7 (8) [10]

MCG: 2 (2) [2]

*Does does not include final round for any season.

I think it stacks up well.

 

[Gasometer]

I am only up to Round 3.

 

[Kimbo]

I'm not unhappy with it.

 

[KangaFan35]

Very hard start to the year, but then it gets a lot easier. Actually hope Boomer gets suspended for 1 game so he can play his 400th in Melbourne, the fixture shouldn't have caused this problem though. 2 Friday night games is a bummer but we have plenty of free to air games which is great.
Gave it a B, probably could have got a B+.

You forgot Sun Twilight games Benno. Massive +.

 

[Zondor]

I rate it s**t House.

Only 13 games in Melbourne.

Only 1 home Friday Night Match.

Two of our three games on the Map against Victorian sides.

So much for Brayshaws' friendship with Gilligan. :stern look
