Dockers Derby round 6. Freo v Bombers R2 under lights at Perth Stadium -first night game

Sucks to not get the ground in round one, but to get an 'away' game against GC and get the first derby, we've done very well. Opening two games against two finals teams, two of the premiership favorites too.

Wonder how Weller feels about playing against us, in Perth in a GC home game.

Much prefer our schedule. Extra home game, first game under lights v big Vic team, first Derby.

13 games at home, 9 away. Interesting. 4 out of our first 6 at home too.

Hopefully we can get our seats for the GC “away” game as well

Away, Home, Home (away), Home, Away, Home

Nice little run to start

We can't play in QLD for 2 weeks cause of the Comm games, no other professional sport can be played there while it is on according to legislation. So we may as well play 2 games in a row in the one place to mitigate travel.

What, you can't play in Qld or can't play on the gold coast? Wouldn't it make sense to play Brisbane away in round 4?

Can't play in QLD.

Can't play in QLD.

So why is there NRL on in Qld when the games are on?

 

[Grave Danger]

Just heard Kim Hagdorn suggest that Fremantle will get the opening round one fixture at the new stadium in exchange for having to travel in round one of the JLT series, whereas the Eagles don't have to leave the state during the pre-season comp. I can hear the blue and yellow tears already.

Let's see how explains that one tomorrow morning

Would rather have the set up we have than the first ever game. Interesting we play the two sides who dominated trade week in rds 1-2 as well, so hopefully it takes a while to gel and we can get off to a good start.

Can not wait for the first home game against the Bombers who we also had in our first ever home game in 95 (WACA) and first ever home final (03). And if I recall correctly first ever game against an AFL side in a practice match back in 95.

Can't play in QLD.

Get paid by the AFL though for missing out!!

Like always Haggers will say his information was “right at true time of reporting “ and that “things changed due to unforeseen circumstances”.

Honestly not sure, just going by what the club has said? Just quickly glanced the roster and they are.

Would be interested to hear the reasoning of this, if it is all true.

We have the WA game in round 2 so if it's back to back games In WA for the suns it'll be R3&4.

If Rd 3 is Gold Coasts home game then rd 4 will be another home game for us which means 3 home on the trot.

yes mate, Taylor alluded this earlier

It will feel all Victorian for a change

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

R1. Port vs Freo @ AO - Saturday twilight
R2. Freo vs Essendon @ PS - Saturday night
R3. Gold Coast vs Freo @ PS
R4 R6. Freo vs West Coast @ PS

Stoked with that. Absolute blockbuster Saturday night game against a huge Vic club will be a great way to open the stadium even if it is Round 2, then a nice run of home games into a home Derby.

 

[Spirit Level]

1st game under lights, 1st game with national FTV coverage, 1st game against a big Vic team.

Can't complain

The Derby is in Rnd6. According to Barich.

So it's an actual night game and not one of those bullshit 5:30 starts?

It will be interesting to see how they will try and fill the seats for the 'away' game against the Suns. Might be an opportunity to just sell every seat for $30 or something like that. Because the game doesn't exactly scream blockbuster.

One other thing: It's actually not the first time a WA club has played an away game at home. In the 80's, the Gold Coast copped a battering from a storm and the Bears moved their home game against the Eagles to the WACA.

We'll only have to travel 9 times next season.

Can't complain

The light show will be spectacular since they'll probably be aiming to show off the stadium on the national stage
