[Kramer1]

No sweat. A tough start, but the opportunity to build some solid momentum before the finals. 13 wins minimum.

 

[Blue and Silver]

I think you could reasonably expect 10-12 wins out of this draw.

The following Rounds should be victories reasonably:
1,8,10,11,12,13,16,20,22

There are several closer matches including our blockbusters against Essendon and Collingwood and the highly expected Brisbane match in round 2 and the rematch in round 14 that could go towards us.

Based on this i say we will make the 8 again next year

If we can't beat a Lloyd-less, Lucas-less and Lovett-less Essendon twice next year I will seriously consider giving up football and following rythmic gymnastics.

Only play the Hawks once again. Thank **** for that.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Only play the Hawks once again. Thank **** for that.

But its at Etihad ... FFS .. Everytime we play them at Etihad its jam packed - and members of both clubs miss out (not supporters - MEMBERS!).

Switch it to the MCG.

 

[NAUGHT5]

Our first 3 rounds the same as last year?

ctrl+c - ctrl+v ?

 

[zeeCFC]

Wowee that's a tough start. But we could easily do 13+ wins if we stay consistant and make progress

 

[Big Red is back]

Pressure is right on, the Fevola decision will be assessed regularly by the media and the supporters during the first 9 weeks.

 

[Blueboys7]

Geez a rough start, but if we can scrape a few wins out of it we will be well placed.

 

[AndyG23]

Tough first few rounds. If we're 6-6 or better at the half way mark, I'd be stoked.

Thought last season was at the G?

 

[Big Red is back]

I am hoping for

Wins

Tigers, Bombers, Port, and one of Cats/Lions/Saints/Hawks = 4 and 5 and we will be fine

However no Judd in first 3 weeks could spell disaster

 

[V_Townsend]

just a lazy 6 out of 7 teams from last seasons top 8 in the first 7 rounds. Very tough start!

 

[Shambolic]

Wow, could we get a harder start to the season?
I'd be happy to walk out of the first 4 rounds at a 50% success rate.

To be honest, if we are to do any damage next year we'll need at least that sort of start.
I'm confident

A harder start might be St Kilda Geelong Collingwood and Adelaide?

I think it looks a lot like last years.

Im glad it's against Richmond, Essendon and Brisbane rather than Geelong, St Kilda and Hawthorn. Focus on the positives

Thought last season was at the G?

It was.

but the previous year it was at the Dome ... and the crowd they got at the G last year surely justifies playing the game there again.

 

[Murphy_Magic]

Ohh Hell Yeah two games over here in the West you Bloody Ripper!!!

 

[Blueboys7]

Why would the AFL opt for the sensible option?

 

[PooMonkey]

Tough start to the year.

all other top 8 sides bar the WB in the first 7 weeks doesnt make things easy, but i think we could walk away with a 3-4 ratio and then walk into a pretty easy draw for the next 6.

8 Port Adelaide AAMI Stadium
9 Hawthorn Etihad Stadium
10 West Coast Eagles Etihad Stadium
11 Melbourne MCG
12 North Melbourne Etihad Stadium
13 Fremantle Etihad Stadium

These are all very winnable games and after 13 round we should be looking at being at 9-4 or 8-5.

Makes for a strong position leading into the second half of the seson.

Going on this draw, it will be a tough start, but we should be able to make finals.

Big run into the finals with games against Coll, Ess, Rich in back to back weeks before finishing off against Freo in WA.

is a good lead into the finals and should put us in good stead!


Massive + is that there is 19 games to be shown on Free to air!!!!

Overall happy

 

[Stig O'Hara]

First 7 weeks are bloodsport, then it comes good.

If we are 3/4 after 7, we are well on the way.

Round 22 in Perth is a worry, but the new improved Flexi Draw should help us out.

What round is the mid season bye?

 

[Blueboys7]

9 Hawthorn Etihad Stadium

How many of these are delayed starts, pain in the arse!

 

[OZBomb]

Really tough start, hopefully we come into the season full of momentum. One thing about the draw, there's a lot of blockbusters in there and ultimatley that's good experience for our young guys in order to get them playing at finals intensity.

 

[Beloved]

Tough start, but a pretty good draw.

 

[Jeremias]

Very difficult start to the season but the rest of the draw is pretty good.

By the mid-way mark I'd expect us to be at 6-6.

Interesting to note we have 4 Friday night games, 3 Thursday night games and 2 Monday afternoon games.
