Fair gap between that and the last time though.We played Carlton at AO in 2018
Erm yeah, your point?And we have a heap of games at that dust bowl truck stop inbred backwater called Radelaide. Unlucky I guess.
I prefer to remember him as a good playerLet's be honest, it really isn't going to matter. We miss the 8 regardless. My real disappointment is no Carlton game in Adelaide. I would have loved to see the return of Eddie.
We should insist on branding the stadium in our colours and wearing our home guernseyCairns game replacing China game so the Saints say. View attachment 1031065
Port will lose all 3 games to Richmond, Brisbane and Geelong, finish top, and wonder why nobody rates them in the finals, as they go down in a prelim to the Bulldogs.Not sure what anyone could expect after finishing 18th. Fixture is fine and largely irrelevant for the next 2 seasons at least.
The real scandal is the ease of Port's fixture after finishing top.
As expected, we have received a sh*t fixture for finishing last.
We're being sent around the country. Games in Launceston, Cairns, Ballarat, Sydney and Perth. Surprised they didn't also throw in an NT and Geelong game to that sh*t sandwich
In what really pisses me off, we play three MCG tenants away from the MCG (Essendon, Carlton and Hawthorn). All of those games should be at the MCG. Six games in Victoria is nice, but two at the MCG sucks
Its possible because the AFL cares more about revenue than the actual fairness of the game and fixture..
They know pear supporters are the most fragile and fickle supporters out there. They know that, unless things go well for port for atleast a fair chunk of the season, port supporters just dont turn up...
That affects the AFL’s bottom line..
Directly/Indirectly in the past the AFL have even had to pay for a heap of rather large high quality tarps because of this very phenomenon.. costly exercise.
Crows supporters, on the other hand, turn up rain, hail or shine and regardless of how good/bad the team is going.. so the AFL can treat the crows, and their supporters, like crap.. which also gives Victorians, who still ignorantly view the crows as a quasi SA state side, great joy..
Cynical I know... but... You know I’m right!
Versus Carlton we are 12 home games v 26 away games in our history.We have only played them once at Adelaide Oval in 2018 which also was the only time Carlton have played Adelaide in Adelaide since 2010. And that was only because it is the one time in which we have played them twice in a year since 2009.
Can someone explain how that occurs? A quirk of the fixture it seems.

The rest much more even.
I hate when it has to be spelled out ... how about "how's your glasshouse?".Erm yeah, your point?
Wonder how much money they’ll see from Shanghai CredThe China game is dead and buried. Given the tensions between the two countries there is little to no chance of it being revived.
If the limit on crowds is 75%, How will the club pick the unlucky 25%? Do any of us expect a part refund on our 2021 membership if we did the right thing in 2020 and paid full fees and get told we cant attend a home game? I emailed the club and the response seemed to indicate they haven't given it much thoughtLooks like the Strikers are going to 75%, and Coopers Stadium will be 75% for United matches, so I can't see why we wouldn't be at at least 75% for round 1, if not full capacity.
Oh great. Another ******* bedwetter. * of with your holier than thou s**t.I hate when it has to be spelled out ... how about "how's your glasshouse?".
If Ballarat is a "shithole" and Tasmania is "deliverance country" - maybe time to check your reference point.
Wah? Are you drunk? Holier than what? Maybe re-read?Oh great. Another ******* bedwetter. fu** of with your holier than thou sh*t.

Jeez louise ...You do realise the previous poster is most likely talking about the stadiums, not the places themselves right?
Mars stadium in Ballarat is widely held in the football industry to be on the top shelf when it comes to playing surfaces in the AFL and the facilities are first class for a provincial city stadium. Have you ever actually attended a game of footy there?Except for playing Dogs at shithole stadium and Hawks in deliverance country.
See my post above.You do realise the previous poster is most likely talking about the stadiums, not the places themselves right?
