2014 Fixture Discussion

[happydude]

Apparently the fixture is released in the coming weeks so brian_muz and I think it is a good time to start discussing what may be.

Obviously we get our usual with rich, coll and ess but who do we get home games against and who is interstate...

Also with Richmond being in round 2 who is out season opener against?

You guys have the floor.

 

[Baggers]

Basically makes our round 1 match either at Etihad or interstate. Ewwww. Love kicking off the season at the G each year.

 

[Dominator_7]

A nice quiet start to the season where we can tuck away our first win of the year with a minimum of fuss would do me just fine.

Aurora Stadium please

 

[BALKAN]

COME TO PERTH TWICE PLZ

 

[Juddalenko]

Don't we get a tough draw for finishing top 6?

 

[SE_Blue]

Suns at home will have to happen, surely.

Really hope we get the Hawks and Cats on the MCG.

 

[zeeCFC]

Non capitalised titles...

 

[Cringle]

Night games at Metricon and Gabba please...

I can only see this happening if we play them twice next season. The AFL & the Suns were very happy with the impact consecutive games against Collingwood & then Carlton at Metricon had, as I believe were Gold Coast Tourism, so I can see this becoming a regular part of the fixture in the years ahead.

Bounce the ball, ump.

 

[le dominateur]

Yet to play the Suns in Melbourne but apparently it evens up over time.

 

[Keyza]

Don't we get a tough draw for finishing top 6?

We are supposed to play 3 of the other top 6 teams twice, one of the middle 6 teams once and one bottom 6 side once. I think that is how it works. With Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond all finishing in the middle 6 group i am sure the AFL will throw that out the window and do whatever they want.

 

[Reyblue]

Will we be able to scrap our Etihad contract next year due to the break of 50k or still no?

 

[thylacine60]

50k was to get into the G not out of Etihad. 1 more year.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

50k was to get into the G not out of Etihad. 1 more year.

While MFC are consistently hitting those 15k home crowds, we haven't got a sniff.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

So with us hitting our Membership mark of 50k? More games at the G?

 

[Big_Luch]

interested to see the essendon draw for next year - hopefully the AFL bends them over nicely.

 

[Bronze]

Let's hope they get Sunday twilight games every round.

 

[Azul]

Essendon missed the finals, so they'll have an easier draw.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Essendon missed the finals, so they'll have an easier draw.

They came 9th so theyll be in the same bracket as colliywobbles and tiggers, roos etc
Not an easy bracket by any means




Especially when your team is suspended

After 2014. Contract expires then.

 

[BlueBelle]

All big games at the G, including Hawthorn and Geelong. They should not be fixtured to play at Etihad

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Let's hope they get Sunday twilight games every round.

...except when they play us.

Given the propaganda that came out from the CFC membership department towards the middle of the season it would not surprise me at a few home MCG games this year the crowd is confirmed at 132,694!!
