Can someone please tell me how last year they get GC twice and this year they get both GC and GWS twice?
As well as getting Port twice both years...........

If thats not a favourable draw i don't know what is, AFL know Port are screwed so want one successful club in SA still i guess.

You're right, not that I'm complaining we do have a soft draw and no excuses ! I thought the AFL said it wouldnt happen playing GWS and GC twice each, obviously when they crunched the numbers it didnt work (and perhaps they do want to ensure a SA team gets up again !)

Only travel to Melbourne 5 times ! Perth once !

Rounds 7-9, Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood and then Round 10 aginst your mob in Perth will be the hardest stretch, but Geelong and Collingwood both at home.
 
Very happy with Carlton's draw, injuries aside, should make the top 4 easily with that fixture.

Christ Essendon gets an early leg up though :)

Re: So North got GWS and Gold Coast Twice Each

Absolute BS, the favoritism AFL is so blatantly clear it's ridiculous.

Gifted 16 premiership points. Clearly NM are having the hand-held by the afl to be guided into the 8. Richmond cop 4 of the top 5 teams from last year in the opening 5 rounds.

Only reason is because Richmond are a sustainable club and can still get people thru the turnstiles even when we are lingering at the bottom, whereas NM and Melbourne for that matter need to be put into the 8 to ensure they don't go bankrupt.

Your right, Ricmond have been getting a tough draw for the past 30 years, thats why they have been shit :thumbsu:
 
Finally the afl give us a decent draw.
I was confident about finals before seeing the fixture and now i'm even more confident

It will be pleasing then to not spend 2012 reading about how the AFL causes all North's problems and that only decent draw is the key to your rise as a superpower.

The spotlight is on your mob.

oh dear, the sooking starts

we have a so-so draw. playing more teams in the 8 last season twice, than outside

who cares about the first 7 rounds :confused:

overall, your comments are :eek::eek::eek:

If that was our draw you and yr Geelong mates would screaming from the top of GSS "CUSHY DRAW 'PIES"

You have got crushy draw being the Premiers just admit it for once.

Carlton, Collingwood, our two bogey sides in North and Port and Gold Coast away. Sure, it goes alright, but I wouldn't put a single one of those in as wins in anything other than pencil.
 
And these are just dumb!:

R17 Sunday
Sydney Swans vs. St. Kilda SCG 1.10pm 1.10pm FOX
Richmond vs. North Melbourne MCG 3.15pm 3.15pm SEVEN

R16 Saturday
Melbourne vs. Fremantle Etihad Stadium 1.45pm 1.45pm SEVEN
Port Adelaide vs. Essendon AAMI Stadium 2.10pm 1.40pm FOX

Why aren't the Vic teams playing interstate on FTA?

If they don't make the top 8 with that draw then Brad Scott will get the Freo heave ho.
 
Re: So North got GWS and Gold Coast Twice Each

You will find that North has copped a very shitty draw last couple of years, so this balances it out.
Also Richmond lost to GC last year, Tiger fans have no right to bitch about the draw :)
 
IIRC.

Adelaide had the softest draw in 2010 and were going to walk into the 8...

Melbourne had the softest draw in 2011 and were going to walk into the 8...
Now we also have GWS though. If Adelaide can't win 5 or all 6 (we might lose a Showdown, as they can be 50/50) of its games against GWS, GC and Port, we don't deserve to play finals. I'm sure we can scrounge up another 6 or 7 wins to make the 8.

So this year when the Roos started the season with WCE in WA, Pies, Freo in WA were they also favoured?

I would not blame your lingering on the bottom for 30 years on 30 years of bad draws.
 
GWS v Collingwood should be at ANZ Stadium - 20,000 travelling Pies fans won't fit into the Skoda Stadium!
Yes we will.:cool:

The stadium supposedly will hold 25K.

So with only 5K or so GWS fans in attendance there will be plenty of room for Pies fans.:p
