With you 100% Telsor. I don't think we need to play Freo twice. Only the AFL think that. The supporters don't care. The vast majority of supporters would simply prefer a rolling concurrent draw which simply just keeps going around in a circle. To this day there is not one ounce of proof a rolling concurrent draw would bring in less money.
Like the way we are finally travelling to Subi to play Freo.
They've earnt that game and been very difficult to get it into the fixture with WCE requesting that game every year. I thought it might come at the expense of the WCE game, and it means we have given away playing either of the WA teams at home this year, but hey its an overdue game.
Friday nights at the SCG !! Carlton Richmond and Collingwood !! HUGEMUNGUS
About time Pies had to play us at the SCG.
Are either Hawthorn or Pies travelling to Kardinia Pk this year ?

So 17 of 21 friday night games - the so called blockbuster, sell the game night - involves three of the worst eleven teams from last season?
On the saints - absolutely shafted with sunday games galore and four sunday twilight, and seven interstate games. be a hard sell for members. On the plus side, we actually play the other bottom six twice this year, but how do we travel 7 times and melbourne only 3 times?

Loving ANZAC day at Adelaide OVAL
Norwood v Port followed by
Hawks v Port
What a day....
Again loads of people are gona miss out because the powers that be decided to make the capacity the same as shitfull park somehow not taking into account that thousands of extra people want to go to the football when it is in the city... school boy error. Needed to be 60k.

It would be nice if the Swans played us at the G a bit more instead of us travelling there every year.
I don't think the Cats would want to play pies/hawks at KP because they would miss out on a lot of ticket sales. They should get about 80k for hawks and about 60k for pies.

My reward for my years of loyalty to the Dogs and the AFL is a 3rd consecutive year without a Friday night game
So called soft draws are WC, Adelaide and North (relative to position finished), seems to be the same teams every year.
Port Adelaide is SA Football tradition

Of course it is.Yep. It's a Fixture. Note the word "Fix".
The afl is a business that needs to make money.
The only fair fixture would be 18 rounds. Even then people would complain

Why do the Blues, Pies and Tigers get so many friday night games? is it still 1981?
We'd love nothing more than to play another bottom 8 mob like the Pies one extra time every season.... but you already get what ? 17 home games for the season is it ? Did you ask for the usual 20 this time and settle on the usual 17 or 18 ?
Play a game at Kardinia Pk, or at least prove you arnt bottom 4 material next season and we'll think about it ok.
You simply arnt much of a drawcard these days. Being s**t will do that.
The ticket sales excuse to avoid a flogging every year...yeah we dont notice it at all
lol. we have a great draw.
play all of the top 8 sides except Port at etihad.
play essendon, Melbourne, GWS, West Coast & The Tom BOyd doggies twice.
Sure we have plenty of sunday games but what do expect finishing last? 6 clubs miss out on a Friday Night game yet we managed to get one.
3 of our interstate games are against GC, Brisbane & GWS.
Am definately not complaining.
With the current mood re Gold Coast's improvement...plus a fit Ablett back + Malceski...is it still considered an advantage if you play them twice ?
Also have 8 six-day breaks (equal highest) and are the only side not to play any of the bottom six sides twice.

Because we are 3 of the top 5 Melbourne teams with the Hawks and essencheats
Looking at the draw. How are teams like St Kilda and Footscray supposed to gain new fans with such little exposure. Why can't the AFL understand that providing a fairer fixture will help the league in the longer term.
I'm basing the criticism on financial grounds - it's a shocker - based on our opponents it's fine. Hard to sell 16 game memberships when you only play 14 in victoria, families (and most others) don't attend Sunday twilight, and youngsters play footy on Sunday, so can't come to games

Because the AFL were embarrassed by last years attendances and need to rectify it pronto.

According to The Age's reckoning Sydney got very very lucky considering they were Minor Premiers.
Then again...... when some teams are favored every year without fail does it still count as "luck"?
