2006 Fixture

[CaptainDavey]

Just wondering what your opinions are on the new draw for next year? Good? Bad? Better? Worse? I reckon we got hard done by again with the Queen's Birthday match, as Essendon who we play the following weekend get 2 days extra break...Good work AFL....

 

[Marns]

Jeez, at least its not WC, but surely they could've reviewed that...blo0dy idiots.

 

[melbournemartin]

do we get a 5 day break den still?

:|

otherwise, I'm quite pleased overall, anyone have any other concerns?

I'm quite happy with it. Rounds 3&4 might be a bit difficult but at least we don't have the same run we had this year. I would have preferred less Sunday games though.

It's not the world's worst draw, could be better obviously...in regards to QB game, at least it's a home game so we get the profits Although i did think there may be an agreement in place where we share the profits with the Pies, regardless of who's home game it is.

 

[feelyngood]

11 games at the MCG is a pretty fair outcome considering we're playing two home games up north this year. I was expecting worse.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

It's better than we usually get. Beggars can't be choosers. At least we don't have to go to Canberra again, damn that place was a hole!

 

[demons_bri]

i think the draw is great, no tough mid season run like this year, and we have like a month of footy played at the g in a row, and 7 more after i think?? cant remember the exact draw, but i think its a good draw, and we have been very lucky with it

 

[The Shev]

In the middle part of the year, we have 11 MCG matches in 16 rounds. From Round 5 to Round 20. That's pretty handy I'd say.

 

[lanky_wes]

i thought the draw was pretty fair. although bit of a tough finish again. with 3 away games to close out the season with one being at geelong and another in adelaide, but that may be good preparation for finals.

cant complain with the queens birthday game too much i guess. we get the home game and we have a 6 day break compared to collingwoods 2 weeks but at least the afl was kind enough to give us a crap team in essendon to play instead of west coast like this year! should still be able to thump them.
