2016 AFL Fixture

[HBFlanker]

How many times have we lost at Bellerieve? that Friday night game down there will be gold

 

[the big lebowski]

Fixture starts out quite soft, but they back half of the season is tough with little in the way of gimme games.

Double ups of Sydney, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Bulldogs, aren't great.

Certainly a great fixture exposure wise.

It's a bloody joke. I'm ropable with this fixture. Actually the fixture itself is good, but the games at home are hardly draw card games and we only have 5 home games at Etihad. Absolute travesty

we have 8 home games at Ethiad, unless i am counting wrong?

Horrific run home.

Nah we play our best footy in the second half of the year.

Beyond the bye with so many Melbourne games if we are truly in the hunt it is going to be brilliant.

If we are not it will be shit house for a whole bunch of other reasons.

Really think this fixture lets us take our fate in our own hands.

You're right

Crows - finalist
Freo - Finalist
Dogs - Finalist
Carlton - shithouse
Hawks - premier
Power - ok
Saints - shithouse
Giants - shithouse

Away against Geelong and Collingwood at Etihad, brilliant.

Lots of night games is fantastic for exposure. Only 3 Sunday games is amazing, I hate them. Good year coming up.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Only 1 game at the M.C.G.....

 

[Wild Bill]

5 Friday night games!!!!
4 Sunday games!!!!!!!!!! Only 2 in Melbourne!!!
1 top 4 team in the 1st 9 Rounds - Freo in Melbounre!!!!!!!!!

This is GOLD!

I'd rather be playing some good sides in the lead up to the finals than easy beats.

We didn't have the cushiest run home this year either.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Surely top four next year. Win RD1 and it will happen.

 

[Moti]

We have 3 back-to-back 6 day breaks. Do I hear rotations?

 

[Zondor]

90,000 vs Richmond at the G last time we played the Tigers. 15,000 to turn up against the Tigers at Slowbart under lights. Makes Sense. :stern look

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

So our players will get a two week rest now before finals?

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

I'm happy... 2 games up here in the first 5 weeks.

but... there is a stretch of games that look seriously tough.

Why do we play Richmond in Tassie? it's our one chance of actually making money at Etihad.

 

[shintemaster]

Week off after round 23

Not a great fan of this, although with the whole Vic / Non-Vic issue it is probably the fairest way. I don't actually think it will always remove the "issue" of this year though. If we had a week off we would still have rested players and brought in depth guys. We needed to see who else could perform if needed in the finals and had nothing to gain from a win.

At face value the double ups are good for us.

Dogs
Hawks
Saints
Crows
Swans

Personally not sure the Dogs will do as well. Saints improving but we should be well ahead of them. Crows dangerous (but also dangerless).

Swans even with Buddy back are looking a touch more fragile recently for mine and I wouldn't be surprised to see them slide. Hawks - who the hell knows, they just keep rolling on.

You can't have everything I guess. Yes, the stretch looks tough, but it is later in the year and it seems we can "ease" into the season (very unlike this year was). We have to play the better teams at some point, I don't mind it this way, should get us battle ready for finals.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

I reckon the Rd 7 stk, Rd 8 * and the Rd 20 WB games will be our replacement games

 

[scooby1279]

we have 8 6 day breaks...

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Need to capitilise onfield early on in the season...if we have a big start to the year, then I could see us pushing 50,000 members.

 

[dUkezz]

Richmond Friday night in tassie? Don't like that at all :/

We probably would have just rested players who really needed it. 1 week off is good, 2 weeks might be too much already.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

They've also ensured Boomer will have up to three games to get to the record infront of either a Melbourne or Hobart crowd.

Playing Richmond in Tassie on a Friday night is just too tempting. Anyone know when tickets go on sale?
