Analysis 2016 Fixture Discussion

[Loonerty]

We played Brisbane in the NAB cup there probably about 4 years ago.

From memory Hurls kicked a bag.

 

[The Prosecutor]

From memory Hurls kicked a bag.

Kicked four goals and something like 100 SC points in the opening quarter.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Anyway...

Some talk also of us playing the Cats twice and the other game being...wait for it...in Geelong.

Geelong vs Essendon at Skilled?

Hope it happens never been to a game there.

It would be mental! the crowd at kardinia is quite subdued because they only play interstate sides and minnows. The crowd will be up and about if we play there and for those bombers fans who do get seats it will be one to remember!

 

[Bombers_95]

Herald Sun reporting that we will get a soft draw with Richmond the only top 8 side we play twice next year

Big Melbourne club playing on their home turf Geelong will love it.

Shame we won't be getting 2 matches vs each other again it seems.

Agree, it was a nice change.

With any luck, hopefully the one game is at the MCG.

Yeah I don't think we did ourselves any favours with our attendances only being around the 50 k mark this season.

You're assuming you'd get a ticket?

Been there once. For the Cats v Dockers qualy. Horrendous stadium.

Are you serious? It's a great stadium to watch footy with the best dim sims you'll ever get! Quality facilities and very easy to get back to Melbourne by train.

Lol what?

Enormous lines to get in because they had one barrier and some old bloke scanning tickets by hand.
No way of telling which gate was which.
Concourse that seemed exactly like the MCG of the 1990's.
No EFTPOS.

The lines aren't that big, after getting off the bus I'm in the ground within four minutes if that.
The gates have massive signs above them saying which is which, there's no way you can get the polls farmer gate mixed up with the bib Davis gate...even then it doesn't actually matter which gate you scan into.
You must be thinking of the concourse at the city end which was built in the 90s. But even then that end has some great food trucks out the back. Walk along the players, premiership, or wade stand and it's no different to any other ground.
And yes there is eftpos, not only that there is farmers Union iced coffee!
I'm not comparing kardinia to the mcg or Etihad either, but come on it's an enjoyable experience and a comfortable ground with a decent standing room area for all the ferals to congregate.

 

[Howard Moon]

this is bad, very bad!

its known that we only play good against the top 8 teams, we always lose to the rabbles.. freakin AFL screwing us again.. cant you give us clear air?

In fairness, it was a final, you have been there once so it may have just been a bad one off experience.

They have also pumped a heap of money into it so it may have improved. I have a mate who lives out that way and has been to a couple of games, always wants me to come out that way and go with him.

Playing somewhere different could be a good thing

 

[Tassieboy]

Blues have no Friday night games and shipped off to Launceston twice. Tough times.

 

[DapperJong]

When is the fixture out?

 

[caboose]

When is the fixture out?

[Tassieboy]

This drip-feeding bullshit is crap.

 

[Experimental]

When is the fixture out?

10am tomorrow AEDT

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Hoping for a few more Saturday arvo games at the G personally. If we do get that Thursday night game in Perth, hopefully that's the only time during the season we play there.

Of our 4 home games at the G, one's the country game (Saturday night) and one's Dreamtime.

Didn't we request for 5 home games at the MCG a few months ago?

Always unlikely and it's gone quiet.

So if this is a Round 4 Saturday arvo V Geelong at the MCG, what actual date will it be?
