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

2nd of April unless they are doing another round 1 split week shit thing again.

2nd of April unless they are doing another round 1 split week shit thing again.

Considering round 5 is ANZAC round (on the monday), it'll actually be the 16th.

 

[Stopher]

Conservative.

If the word that we are getting a soft draw is accurate, I'll stick to the 20. If there is a bit of shocking fixturing in there somewhere (a fair chance) then add another 5-10 pages.

Yarp, my badski.

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!

Sorry to intrude, but yeah it's true.

Playing the same 6-8 sides is bloody boring, we played Sydney there this year and the atmosphere was awesome. Would like Carlton down there too, can't hide behind their 'big club' excuse anymore.

Any minute now...

I love the AFL website sooooo much. Tesltra put so much love and care into it that makes it one of the bestest sports websites in the world!!!

Round 15 we're in Perth vs West COast. Could this mean we finally get Freo in Melbourne?

 

[eth-dog]

Home game against Melbourne. At the MCG. Again.

 

[Tassieboy]

Hawthorn at ****ing Docklands and Melbourne at the MCG. **** it.

No. We don't.

 

[DapperJong]

jesus christ i don't want to "watch the fixture" just release it idiots

 

[DapperDon]

Are they actually going to release it? Or do we have to watch two ****wits talk about it online first?

Here's ours

[eth-dog]

Carlton, Gold Coast, Richmond, Geelong and St. Kilda twice

 

[eth-dog]

Away trips to Gold Coast, Port, Sydney, Freo, West Coast, Adelaide.

 

[DaniFletch]

6 away trips make sense given the comparative easiness of our opponents. Shame that 2 are to WA...again...

 

[daffo]

Teams Playing Twice
Gold Coast, Geelong, Richmond, St Kilda & Carlton

Interstate Games
Gold Coast, Port, Sydney, Freo and West Coast

I would say it's a hard draw for a bottom six side. To cop Geelong as one of the teams playing twice is difficult and our interstate games are hard (No Brisbane/No GWS) but on the flip side Richmond is the only top eight side from this year we face twice.

Floating fixture for round 23 AND a bye before finals. Why??

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Thursday night in Perth is interesting. Gives them a nice long break after anyway.

Seems to be very few Saturday afternoon games in Melbourne, which I'm happy with.

 

[daffo]

Also Interstate games
Round 1 : GC
Round 3 : Port
Round 7 : Sydney
Round 11 : Freo
Round 15 : WCE

All early in the year.
