News Geelong's 2020 fixture

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

4 trips in the first 10 rounds with 2 to Perth in 4 weeks.

We play GWS, Hawks, Saints, Brisbane and Eagles twice.

 

[CoolCat75]

My analysis in terms where we play, and expected win/losses.
Seams an expected fixture for a prelim finalist.

HOME : GC, STK, BRIS, NTH, WCE, MELB, WB, GWS, ADEL (8/9)
MCG : HAW, ESS, RICH, HAW, COLL (2/5)
MVL : CARL, STK (2/2)
INTERSTATE: BRIS, WCE, FREO, GWS, PORT, SYD (3/3)

15-7 and 4th place is my early prediction.

Play twice : GWS, WC, BRIS, HAW, STK

Hosting Easter Monday and "The Country Game" both of which the AFL has stapled to the MCG unfortunately.

Someone needs to get the AFL to explain why the "Country Game" is always held in the city.

Blame Kevin Sheedy. Whole thing has always felt like an Essendon marketing gimmick and I'm annoyed Geelong has gone along with it.

Oh yeah! Brisbane during the school holidays THANK U GILL.


I am so going up there for some sun.

Brisbane is freezing in july. You cant swim in july. Why do victorians keep wanting to come up here then. Its the worst time of year.

 

[Fyre]

In 2009 they did it in successive rounds. One after the bye too. They won both.

I like your positivity but those data points are irrelevant in this day and age really.

 

[Sticksman]

Good to see our request for 11 home games was promptly shat on by the AFL.

Did you expect anything else? Geelong can protest as much as they like but I can't see us getting any more that 9 KP games anytime soon. I can't see us getting less that 9 either.

 

[kickazz]

Too many twilight or night games at KP in the colder part of the year. Again.

We get much better crowds for day games

2019 Games:
Giants Stadium: 1 (GWS)
GMHBA: 9 (Gold Coast, St Kilda, Brisbane, North, WCE, Melbourne, Footscray, GWS, Adelaide)
Optus Stadium: 2 (WCE, Freo)
MCG: 5 (Hawks x2 (1x H, 1xA), Essendon (H), Richmond (A), Collingwood (A),
SCG: 1 (Sydney)
Adelaide Oval: 1 (Port)
Marvel Stadium: 2 (Carlton (A), St Kilda (A))
Gabba: 1 (Brisbane)

Double Games: GWS, St Kilda, WCE, Hawthorn + Brisbane

I am happy with that.

Brisbane is not freezing in July, i can swim in Brisbane in July.

 

[Down at K Park]

2 trips to perth and only 9 home games. There’s the afl trying to screw us like i said earlier.

And having to play port and brisbane away too ffs.

 

[bulletproof]

Happy enough with that fixture, if we maintain our home record, we will be playing finals again.

2 trips to Perth in 3 weeks is fked up the arse.

Clearly you have no concept of the word "freezing."

 

[Seeds]

Where? Hotels empty all the pools of water and dont fill them up again till the start of september.

July is fire pit and cold morning fog season.

 

[you pick one]

Only 4x 6 day turnarounds that's good and none consecutive is even better,the kicker is they picked their mark,Richmond,W/C,Collingwood,GWS,and as has been said already Hawks post bye.
Over all pretty happy though.

 

[Duskfire]

Geelong: we want 11 home games

AFL: Nah we will give you nine. The remaining two are at the MCG.

Geelong: okay we want Home Finals

AFL: Nah it will be at the MCG because you play some home games there.

Geelong: ...

Awesome, thank you for letting me know

 

[kickazz]

Only 2 daytime home games. Booo.

Jesus, how many night gaems overall?

 

[Gee Class Loco]

SHITE Draw...
Geelong's Home stadium is GMHBA Stadium.
Not or never was or never will be the MCG.
Weak as PIZZ Colin Carter. So Gilligan the Goofball has done a number on us again.
GFC have a backbone of a twig... cant wait for the dribble on why... how... blah... blah... from both these twats.
Disappointed CAT.

 

[kickazz]

Jesus, how many night gaems overall?

2 Day. (both in autumn)
3 Twilight (1 autumn, 2 winter)
3 Night (1 autumn, 2 winter)
1 TBD

I reckon the club is just going through the motions with the whole "we want 11 home games at KP" thing. They know the AFL won't do it, and I bet there'll be some reaction from Brian Cook today along the lines of "well, we're disappointed but we'll keep pushing for it". Rinse and repeat this time next year.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Teams we play twice:

Hawthorn
WCE
GWS
Brisbane
Saints

9 home games in Geelong, the AFL will never give us all 11 games at Kardinia park.

6 friday night games is good.

The opening five matches maybe not as hard as last year, with GCS & the saints, but the suns often start the season well and taper off, and who knows what the Saints will be like with a new coach and such a large list turnover.
