No down here, the reaction of the Blues fans will be priceless, they will turn and boo him

The Carl/Bris game in Melbourne is going to be much more anticipated than the one at up the GABBA.

I was talking ratings wise into Melbourne.

I would gladly have the game in Melbourne being a member based down here..

Fixture due out on the 14th October - cant wait.
 
I think it will be another blues v tiges rd1 hope its hawks v bobmers aswell rd 1!
I know carlton will have no Judd or Fev first 3 rounds but don't underestimate us we still have a great young list and if we play richmond rd 1 and essendon rd 3 we can certianly have 2 wins in the first 3 rounds, hope brissie don't make the top 4 amazing forward line currently but average midfield.
 
Actually Carlton vs Brisbane rd 1 would be awesome we can all boo the fev!
Tough we will be missing Judd but if the linos cop an injury aswell it will be a great game like the final.

My fixture request for Collingwood in 2010 (games in no particular order):

  • vs. Adelaide @ AAMI Stadium
  • vs. Port Adelaide @ AAMI Stadium
  • vs. Sydney @ ANZ Stadium
  • vs. Brisbane @ The Gabba
  • vs. West Coast @ Subiaco
  • vs. Fremantle @ Subiaco
  • vs. Hawthorn @ Aurora Stadium
  • vs. St Kilda @ Aurora Stadium
  • vs. Western Bulldogs @ TIO Stadium
  • vs. North Melbourne @ Manuka Oval (I do realise the Roos haven't played there for a few years)
  • vs. Melbourne @ Carrara
  • vs. Geelong @ Skilled Stadium
  • vs. Essendon @ MCG (ANZAC Day)
  • vs. Melbourne @ MCG (Queen's Birthday)
  • vs. Carlton @ MCG (Rivalry Round)
  • vs. Richmond @ MCG
  • vs. Hawthorn @ MCG
  • vs. St Kilda @ Etihad Stadium
  • vs. Western Bulldogs @ Etihad Stadium
  • vs. Geelong @ Etihad Stadium
  • vs. North Melbourne @ Etihad Stadium
  • vs. Adelaide @ Etihad Stadium

That way, I'd get to see the Pies in Adelaide twice, and we'd have more than enough travel to shut everyone up. It gives us 5 games at Etihad Stadium too, just to kill the 'too many games at the MCG' argument as well. Obviously I'm disregarding the financial impact this schedule would have on both my own and other AFL clubs, but if we still managed to win games and make the finals with that draw, then absolutely nobody could begrudge us our place and the 'soft draw' argument would be dead and buried.
 
I would have thought the grand final losers are the home team usually in the grand final rematch in rd 1 because its a bit of a slap in the face to the supporters of that team who have to see the opposition that beat them raise there premiership banner, as is the custom of the first home game of the year for the reigning premier...But the AFL didnt take that into account last year, so maybe thats out the window.

3 matches Id like to see in Rd 1

Hawthorn Essendon Thursday night

St Kilda V Geelong Friday Night

Adelaide V Collingwood Saturday Night
 
Was speaking to the Brisbane Lions membership department yesterday who told me that they will be getting the draw on October 14th.

Will it be released to the Public then also?
St. Kilda v Geelong at Etihad is about as laughable as having it at Carrara.
And do we have to play Footscray and Essendon at that bloody hole Etihad AGAIN?! :rolleyes:

a collingwood supporter complaining about the fixture.

humorous.
Yes I know, our 14 MCG games are a much bigger advantage than the Saints 15 Home games at the indoor dump or the Dogs 13 games there

It is always funny when people complain about our so called soft draw, yet have no problem with the Etihad tenants who have a real home ground advantage playing just as many or even more games at their home ground

i'm interested in your rationale as to why it's humorous?

didn't play enough good sides perhaps? 5 of the other 7 top 8 sides twice in 2009 seems difficult enough to me. including "home" games v other top 4 contenders st kilda and the dogs at their home ground where the advantage is clearly greater than that enjoyed by any of the mcg tenants

perhaps more interstate games you say? travelled 4 times in 09 and won them all. missed out on away games v freo and port, so in effect we missed out on 2 victories by playing only 4 interstate games

missed out on return game in melb v weagles, played port freo roos rich once opnly, meaning we played 5 of bottom 7 once only

i'm interested to hear how the above is any easier than the draw of another melb based club
 
Ahh didn't you come 4th and play St.Kilda in the first week of finals? This is besides the fact that the finals aren't a fixture!

Collingwood :thumbsdown:

Pretty sure the quote was "we did it last year". currently being 2009 i can only assume that the poster was referring to 2008?

and there was no mention of "fixture" in the post - was a reference to the pies travelling interstate twice in a row last year which they clearly did do
