Richomd only draw big crowds at the G agaisnt Vic teams where 70% is the apposing teams supporters.

They had 22,000 at the Dome against Port this year. i true indication of their support in Melbourne.

In that crappy backwards game against us in there was 28,000.
 
10.10am tommorow morning according to an email I received from afl.com.au

Find out tomorrow (Friday, October 26) at 10:40am on afl.com.au when the

Also the bulldogs @ telstra dome on sunday afternoon (easter sunday) for round 1, I created a thread on this (the bulldogs game I mean) a few weeks ago as it was mentioned on the news.
 
I notice in the Age article that it mentions a Victoria v All-Stars game. What a ridiculous concept!! I hope that the AFC don't release any players for this game - why risk our players for a promotional game?

Couldnt agree more. If it was ViC v SA i would be more than happy for the AFC to release as many players as where selected for state pride, but for some ridiculous exibition game that belittles the contribution of the non victorian states, they can get stuffed.
 
I got this info in an email, don't know how reliable it is at all - it's from a bloke who said we were going to get Schneider for Mattner, so take it as you want to :p

We are playing Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn, West Coast, Collingwood, Richmond and Port Adelaide twice.

We have 2 games at the MCG against Melbourne and Richmond.

We play Western Bulldogs in Round 1 at Telstra Dome, and Richmond at AAMI in Round 22.

We have 2 trips to Subiaco - in Round 3 against West Coast and Round 14 against Fremantle.

We play Brisbane at the Gabba and Hawthorn in Launceston, but no trip to Sydney.

Our home games consist of two Friday night games, two Saturday afternoon games, three Saturday night games and two Sunday afternoon games, and one Sunday twilight game. Our Showdown will be a Saturday night.

Theres at least 8 wins.....
 
We have to beat West Coast on at least one occasion in 2008. No Cousins, no Judd, if we can't stand up and get the job done when will we? They knocked us off yet again without these two players in season 07 which was piss poor, need to turn the tables. Get the ideal players on the park and we should be good enough to beat them.

I would go one step further and call for a total boycott of this game (ie nobody attend the game nor watch it on TV or listen to it on radio). I'm disgusted at State-of-Origin being reduced to this.

I am with you bruce 100%. I rate this game lower than whale cr*p. Its offensive to all the other non Victorian states and completely misses the point in general.

I wonder when they are thinking of scheduling this. If it was mid season and I was coach of a interstate team It wouldn't bother me if I had players reclining the offer to play. Can you imagine what the Vics would say if we made them part of an all star team to play SA.

So according to that bloke and what others have suggested, we could see something like this:

Rnd 1 vs W/Bulldogs @ T.D
2 vs Collingwood @ AAMI
3 vs W/Coast @ Subi
4 vs Port @ AAMI (home)
5 vs Hawthorn @ Launceston
6 vs Melbourne @ AAMI
7 vs Richmond @ M.C.G
8 vs North @ AAMI
9 vs Essendon @ T.D
10 vs Sydney @ AAMI
11 vs Brisbane @ Gabba
12 (split rnd) vs Geelong @ AAMI
13 vs Carlton @ AAMI
14 vs Fremantle @ Subi
15 vs StKilda @ T.D
16 vs W/Bulldogs @ AAMI
17 vs Collingwood @ T.D
18 vs W/Coast @ AAMI
19 vs Port @ AAMI (away)
20 vs Hawthorn @ AAMI
21 vs Melbourne @ M.C.G
22 vs Richmond @ AAMI

4 of the first 7 away
4 of the last 6 at home/AAMI
4 out of 8 at home in between
4 at Telstra Dome - same as this year
2 at the MCG - same as this year
2 trips to Subi (rd 3 & 14)
1 to Launceston/Gabba

I would think we would play Port in Rnd 3 - as is usually the case.

And I threw in our usual friday night v StKilda at the dome in Rd 15 - same as this year.

I've swapped and changed a few things from my original draw and it's obviously a bit rough around the edges but just thought it would be good to make a mock draw and see what everyone thought.. Wait n see 2moro for the real thing I guess ;)
 
Just remember the fact that the teams you play in Round 1-7 aren't who you play in Round 16-22, and it has also been rumoured that for the first time you mightn't play all seperate teams in the first 15 rounds.

I for one hope that we make no players available, and all non victorian clubs do likewise.

If State Pride isnt on the line, we have no need to take the risk.

It doesn't sound to bad. All the hard yakka seems to be at the start of the season. The West Coast Subiaco game followed by the home showdown and Hawthorn Launceston trip all in a row is a bit rough. That will probably define our season. The first few weeks will be crucial.

Well obviously its just my take on how it might look, but yeah that stretch would be a challenge - 4 of the top 5 teams from this season's end in the space of 4 weeks! :eek:

But then we follow that with 6 of the bottom 8 teams in the 9 weeks proceeding that. Bus as AdelUniCrowFan suggested, we might well be playing to an alternate format this year so who knows
