[Dan87]

Early impressions positive.

Looks fantastic for red and white.

Exciting year for a young list.

 

[scaryness]

Only 4 games in Melbourne (+1 in Geelong).

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Only 4 games in Melbourne (+1 in Geelong).

Dont we request 6 Melbourne games every year?

 

[scaryness]

Also got six 6-day breaks. Including back-to-back when we play Hawthon on Thursday night at the SCG.

 

[swansfan51]

I'm coming over for the round 13 game on June 19, and will try and stretch it a week earlier to also get the GWS game in round 12

 

[Dan87]

Yep, the Thursday night Hawthorn game will be a good challenge.

Happy to play Hawks twice in home and away of a 6 day break.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Yep, the Thursday night Hawthorn game will be a good challenge.

Happy to play Hawks twice in home and away.

Regardless where we finish i think we will continue to play Hawthorn twice in the foresable future.

I would say for the next 7 years

 

[vonn]

Happy with that. Anytime, anywhere.

 

[The King!]

Good draw imo

Another trip to Geelong, couldnt see which week Hawthorn head down there.


A game in hobart is good for me i guess.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Draw is fine, although Richmond and Hawthorn twice are annoying.

 

[The King!]

Hawthorn once is annoying

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hawthorn once is annoying

At least one is at home...

How on earth does North fluke an easy fixture...again!

 

[scaryness]

Could see us at 4-0 after the first month with the best 22.

 

[The King!]

Agree couldnt ask for a better draw tbh

 

[Dangas]

Good draw actually....

 

[PVF]

Can't believe Hobart got a Friday night game!

Happy that Sydney play down in Tassie, currently undefeated here

 

[doona]

The grouping of ANZ games has been designed with small crowds in mind and incentive to have the Super Trust to move them from ANZ to the SCG

To be honest I dont think the AFL care where we play. They signed the deal years ago with stadium australia for money, now that both stadiums will be owned by the Super Trust, the AFL will have no incentive to schedule games at Stadium Australia past this year.

The AFL dont have Super Trust on the draw and they choose.

[Millky95]

Looks like ill be coming up for the Bulldogs game

The grouping of ANZ games has been designed with small crowds in mind and incentive to have the Super Trust to move them from ANZ to the SCG

Doesn't ANZ get to pick which three teams they host for home games? I thought that was part of the agreement.

 

[MarkP]

A no excuse draw in reality.

Excellent.

 

[swansfan51]

A no excuse draw in reality.

Excellent.

Oh there will be excuses, don't worry about that.

Club statement:

“We requested a good number of games in Melbourne in 2016 and we’re fortunate our Victorian fans will be able to see the team in action six times next season.”

I only counted 5 games in Victoria including the Geelong game?
