Fixture 2017 Fixture

[frenchfri12]

Excellent. 6 Night games in Melbourne, 5 on Saturday, no Twilight games in Melbourne, two games against Brisbane and Fremantle in Melbourne.

Also like how we get a 4 day break for Anzac Day while Collingwood only get 3 days!

We get a five day break and so do Collingwood after Anzac Day. Not sure where you're looking.

Misread the fixture. Still, 1 extra day before.

Happy with the draw. I was hopeful of not getting Freo twice. They will be back next year.

Get to see the game at Subi on my birthday!

We play North on mine.

I remember that time that Macca18 started boasting us about beating them on his birthday...before the game. It didn't end well.

It's my birthday on Tuesday sooo...

Yeah!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

A premiership ..surely

Literally every team that we play finished above us.

All 5 of the teams that we play twice finished above us! We don't even get a game against the wooden spooners while Carlton, Collingwood, Adelaide, Brisbane and Fremantle get two!

AFL not even being subtle anymore

Wins: 11
50/50s: 11

I don't think there's ever a game we can't win. Win half the 50/50s and we get 16/17 wins which should have us top 4.
Lose them all and we finish 10-8.

 

[Mercurial89]

It's my birthday on Tuesday sooo...

Yeah!

I hope your Horse wins.

Wins: 5
50/50s: 13
Losses: 4
Bold: Games (including 50/50s) that I think we will win.
Win/Loss: 13/9.

Upset wins: West Coast and Adelaide @ Etihad. Hawthorn @ MCG
Upset losses: Gold Coast @ Metricon

Win/loss vs this year's top 8: 2/7
Win/loss vs this year's top 4: 0/4
Win/loss vs double-ups:
Adelaide: 0-2
Brisbane: 2-0
Carlton: 2-0
Collingwood: 2-0
Fremantle: 1-1

First 6 rounds are all winnable except Adelaide in Adelaide. Really time to beat Collingwood. Just a joke how we go to water when playing them on ANZAC day.
Rounds 7-14 is pretty difficult. West Coast in Melbourne makes things easier, but we can probably hope for a maximum of 3 wins there (West Coast, Port and Richmond). Had Port's measure in Melbourne the last few years. Play well against West Coast here as well. Struggle against Richmond though.

Run home looks great, with Western Bulldogs the only given loss IMO. Even that, it is at Etihad, so we might push them. Adelaide is a challenge, but we can pull that off at home once the team has gelled. I can see us charging towards finals in the second half of the season. Might just miss out if we drop games that we should be winning.

If I were to tip upsets, it would be West Coast and Adelaide at Etihad (like 2014).

The bolded are not even unreasonable. Hawthorn is probably the only left field option that I've bolded, so 13 wins and finals is very achievable. Beat St Kilda, Adelaide and/or West Coast (in Melbourne) and finals looks likely. Easy fixture.

We will likely drop a game against Brisbane and Collingwood and beat a team like Adelaide or West Coast, but 13-9 looks around the mark for me.

It's one of the most prominent panels on the North board's Bayeux Tapestry.

That doesn't sound like the North mentality we all know and love.

Right next to the (recently lost) panel detailing the whispering of Atley's name 3 times at Dodoro I believe.

At this stage I'll get to both Queensland games, Anzac Day, Crows in Adelaide, and Dreamtime. Depends on how we're traveling how many more I travel down for.

Can save seats for those interested "wink wink". Best mate is a swans supporter and his work has their own medallion seats and he kept inviting me to the swans games but now that I work with him I can choose which games I get to go to so I'm pretty stoked about it

Ah. Thought it might have been the "DON'T PLAY ON DON'T PLAY ON" impartial commentary game.
