Fixture 2017 Fixture

[eDPS]

Apparently the Anzac Day game isn't a must watch according to the AFL site

 

[Lethal]

You are correct

Sorry, meant the Sunday game of the last round.

 

[holdopenmyhead]

Really happy to have a game at the Gabba this year considering I'm a suburb over. Hope we belt Brisbane.

 

[Rack Watts]

To not top 8, on the back of that fixture would be criminal.

 

[Dave]

Pretty happy with that.

 

[Mercurial89]

Wow that is a fixture fitting of a bottom team.

Only 1 WA trip is a bit kind to Jobe as well. Got on us for the flag at $21.

Go Dons.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Pepper your angus, scum.

The Dons are BACK

The Australian bookies are weak as piss that Essendon is that short for the flag.

We should finish last more often if we get fixtures like this.

It's funny, the better players you have the better your draw is.

 

[Snakey Chantey]

No 4:40pm Sunday home games, brilliant! Worst footy time slot ever!

 

[windyhill]

Don't mind 4.40 Sunday. Break from bloody children ! Less committed fans show up.

This is my optimistic expectations:

1. Hawthorn, MCG: 50/50
2. Brisbane, Gabba: W
3. Carlton, MCG: W
4. Adelaide, AO: L
5. Collingwood, MCG: W
6. Melbourne, Docklands: 50/50
7. Fremantle, Subiaco: 50/50
8. Geelong, MCG: L
9. West Coast, Docklands: 50/50
10. Richmond, MCG: W
11. GWS, SS: L
12. Port Adelaide, Docklands: 50/50
13. BYE
14. Sydney, SCG: L
15. Brisbane, Docklands: W
16. Collingwood, MCG: W
17. St. Kilda, Docklands: 50/50
18. North Melbourne, Docklands: W
19. Western Bulldogs, Docklands: L
20. Carlton, MCG: W
21. Adelaide, Docklands: 50/50
22. Gold Coast, Carrara: W
23. Fremantle, Docklands: 50/50

If we split the 50/50's we end up 13-9. Take that every day of the week

What an amazing fixture! Although I suspect that Fremantle will be much better.

Considering the amount of prime time games we have, they are obviously backing us to be good

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

If we don't play finals on the back of this fixture then Essendon suck.

Really good fixture.

 

[windyhill]

Good team = good fixture. Amused at some saying top four !

 

[Doss]

Melbourne are almost pathologically incapable of winning at Etihad. That's a bonus.

 

[Beerfish]

I probably shouldn't be saying this but it's really difficult to see us losing any games.

 

[hotkorma]

We should finish last more often if we get fixtures like this.

Yep, if we can finish last next and maybe the following year we should have some absolute jet no1s, a priority pick and a dream fixture. Bring on 2019!!!!!

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Can't be disappointed with that fixture at all. Tough start with a few interstate games in the first couple of months, but after the bye I envision us getting some momentum going. Ridiculously excited for next year already - Can't wait.

[Lance Uppercut]

no Sunday twilight?!!!

Holy ******* s**t that's amazing. Carlton at 3:20 is the only late one, every other Sunday game is 1:10.

God ******* bless

 

[Stopher]

It's a bit funny that Collingwood are unhappy with a Saturday night fixture on May 6th against Carlton. Why? They wanted the Friday night timeslot, so they could have a gala dinner on the Saturday night to celebrate their 125th anniversary, which is officially on the 7th (Sunday), the same date they played their first game, against Carlton.

The only problem is that playing on Friday 5th May would mean back-to-back 5-day breaks, stemming from the Anzac Day game being on a Tuesday in 2017. Imagine the uproar (probably from Ed, lel) if they copped a heap of soft-tissue injuries in the Carlton game. Given their abominable injury record in the last couple of seasons, I'd have thought the league have got it pretty spot on here.

Managed to beat them quite comfortably with dads army. Can only only imagine what we will do to them with a full team haha.

 

[raskolnikov]

Two Queensland games. Yes.
