Kade Simpson: 286 AFL games.

Rnd 14: Coll v Carl
Rnd 15: Carl v PA (MCG) (should he miss a game)
Rnd 16: Bris v Carl

Is there a bye before Round 14, so earliest would be Round 15?

 

[Beast__Mode]

Love the draw for us. The way it currently looks, the opportunity presents for a fast start. And with a young, developing list, who knows where some early momentum might take them?

I was on board for 10 wins next year and this is a draw which shapes nicely to deliver that. Would like a bit less travel and a bit more G, but overall it's excellent.

Bye in Rnd 12.

If all goes smoothly and no injuries, Simmo & Murphy will both have their milestone games against Port (our home game) in Rnd 15 at the MCG.

Simmo - 300 games
Murphy - 250 games

The media see us losing Gibbs so in their simplicity see us falling backwards in the short term. Hence the outcry with the draw.

Their lack of insight is incredibly poor for media personalities. Only injuries to key players will see us not improving in 2018.

Has anyone done analysis on 5/6 day turnarounds? They are the killer in modern day footy. I'm sure it was the Pies (maybe Bombers) last year who had two short turnarounds before they met us. Whether you like to admit it or not, that was a guaranteed win for us. If a team has two short turnarounds, they have lost the match before it kicks off.

Not discrediting you but i would like to see the stats on it, would be interesting

I’m still sitting around the 9 wins. A lot of 50/50 games this year, we should be in all games right to the death.
This year will be the first year that a little bit of pressure will be on the football department, coaching staff and players. Can’t wait for us to push through it and have an outstanding year

No Adelaide trip??

No Adelaide trip??

Not in 2018.
We'll get over to SA soon though.

I got overruled

I got overruled

boo to that. Overruler sucks donkey balls.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Wonder if we might rotate more players for our 6 day breaks than we did last year?

With seven 6 day breaks and three of these with an interstate leg, I think we might have more rotations of our young players in Season 2018.

I will be going to this game too. I will wait until there are some air fare sales for this one.
I have booked airfares and accommodation for Hobart, just have to make sure I get a ticket to the game.

 

[Keyza]

I think our draw is pretty good.
The thing that shits me is that we have to travel 6 times interstate yet again and we have to play in Geelong.
My membership is supposed to get me into all home and away games in Victoria but apparently this is an oversight and it is only Melbourne games so if I wanted to go to Geelong I have to pay.
So we only get 15 games and compare this to Collingwood and Richmond who only have to travel 5 times and their members get into 17 games.
It isnt fair how they get looked after and we always get dudded.

Seems a good time to knock off the top team.

Not anymore i don't......

I’d be surprised if they didn’t rest simmo here and there
A lot of other clubs do it for their senior senior players

 

[JamisonRun40]

Good luck with telling Simmo he isn't playing due to his age if the team is playing interstate

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

He's missed 2 games in the past 5 years. He won't be getting rested.

Can't see it happening.

 

[simmo97]

Assuming Eddie Betts does not miss any games.

He will play his 100th game for the Crows in R7 against Carlton.
He will play his 299th AFL game in R23 Against Carlton.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

That’s disappointing

 

[thylacine60]

Can't see it happening.

never needed resting much before - just plays

 

[Keyza]

If anyone is planning to go to the Hobart game the tickets for the game have gone on sale through Ticketek. I got some general admission tickets. There were not many seats available.

 

[nike1]

so i only recently come to the realisation that ill see carlton play twice in tassie, as i only found out recently we play hawthorn in the pre-season.
and once in melbourne.


this'll be the most carlton games i have ever seen in person.

 

[AceAndy]

Just realised i will be on holidays for the first five rounds

Will be back in the country a couple of days before round 6, hopefully we will be 4-1 prior to tackling the Bulldogs.
