Don't mind playing the Giants at home early but why be punished with the 12:40pm time slot!!!!!!

We didn't have any 1240 games in 2016! If we play this on a Saturday night we would get 50000 easily!

Hopefully they are still half asleep when they start the game.:$

Anyone else actually love the midday time slot? I like knowing I don't have to wait the whole day for the game.


...Plus day drinking is awesome.
 
Apparently on SEN - we play in Perth in Round 23.

Other than that, GWS get their first ever Friday night game, Good Friday has the green light.

Bulldogs won the flag playing their final game in Perth and had to travel back there in week 1.

We have to seriously adopt the any team, any place any time attitude.

With the bye, playing in Perth is now irrelevant.

They know we will at 12:40 too and that's why they lump us with it

Who they playing and where?

The last game in Perth is no longer an issue given the bye
 
Fixture has been leaked, reportedly

14560191_1140581432664440_3137499637109142117_o.jpg


GWS, WB, Geel, PA, Fre twice

Geel on a Thursday at home, Geel on a Friday away, Coll on a Friday at home

Haw away, Syd at home, WCE at home, St K at home, Melb at home
 
GWS, WB, Geel, PA, Fre twice

Not surprised by this one bit. Double ups against probably the best two teams next year, a team that smashed us twice, and a much better Fremantle.

Happy with our away games though. Hawthorn will be beatable in Melbourne. Gold Coast, Essendon, Richmond, Brisbane, North Melbourne will all be bottom teams.

And to get St Kilda, Melbourne, Collingwood, Sydney, West Coast, Carlton at home is a good result.

We also have a much better distribution of tough/easy matches. Hawthorn, GWS, Bulldogs, Sydney, Melbourne before the bye. Geelong twice, GWS again, Bulldogs again, St Kilda, West Coast after the bye.

If the leak is true we have received a better draw than this year. Will wait to see how much the AFL has gifted Hawthorn, Geelong and the Bulldogs though
