Surely there's no chance they put the first ever match between Mitchell and us in Tassie??

The AFL are campaigners, so it wouldn't surprise

Yeah, see my last post, in hindsight I should have put it at the MCG in round 23.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Confirmed we play WCE once at the MCG in Round 5 and we have Melbourne in Round 7.

 

[MrPremiership]

Tribute to Sam, round 5

 

[jonesy86]

The Age report you have Swans, Cats, Crows, Pies and Suns twice and only 6 MCG home games

 

[BlackHawk72]

That's F***ed!

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Cats and Pies hopefully means 2 additional MCG games. Nice to give us 3 byes with the 2 Suns games as well.

 

[OzJohnnie]

6 at the G, 4 in Tassie, one at Etihad against some outstate team. Same as two years, right? Of the other 11 games we'll play at least 5 at the G.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

That's F***ed!

Won't be so bad IF we get a decent amount of MCG away games.

 

[bunky]

As stated earlier - We get to face Mitchell and Lewis at the G early in the season. Farewell our champs!

 

[Millsie69]

Glad we don't play West Coast in Perth at least. Apparently that one 'home' game at Etihad is rnd 23 against the Dogs! What a joke!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Home game against the Dogs at Etihad in Round 23 apparently what a ******* farce, so as a Premium member you only get the seat you pay for 6 times ?

WTF, our home game at their home ground?

Tribute to Sam, round 5

Let's do a round of applause at the 5 min mark of the 5th quarter.

Oh, hang on...

Yeah absolute farce and its nothing like when Geelong host us at the MCG as Geelong are more than happy t do that to reap the rewards of revenue from the 80 K attendance.

 

[hawker11]

This "home game" at Etihad situation has to stop - the club cannot afford to lose grip of the MCG.

 

[A Cut Above]

The Age report you have Swans, Cats, Crows, Pies and Suns twice and only 6 MCG home games

If that's true we could do a lot worse! Avoiding two extra games against GWS & Doggies could very well mean 8 more H&A points, and GC & Brisbane may be the closest thing to free wins in 2017 so facing GC twice would be very pleasing.

 

[Ram-Man]

How can that be justified ?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Dosen't make any sense what so ever, you can't even say its being done to maximise attendance.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Only 3 friday night games and a home game in tassie against the kangaroos. (scratches head)

 

[Ram-Man]

Maybe the AFL buy out of Etihad makes it more of a money making venture for them?

It's seems off -- as does only 6 home games at the MCG -- as does playing in North in Tassie.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Only 3 friday night games and a home game in tassie against the kangaroos. (scratches head)

They probably want to create some sort of Tasmania thing with us and the Roos, wouldn't shock me if they host us at Hobart in 2018.

They mauled us at the G, so it won't matter

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Its not really about the result as our record at Etihad is insane, its more about the members that pay for Premium seating and will only get use of it less than they are entitled too.
