2019 AFL Fixture Discussion

[BloodySwan]

Very surprised we play Hawthorn only once. Normally a good close game of football

 

[FreeAgent1]

Double ups:
GWS (as expected)
Essendon (likely one of the harder teams in our "pool" but prone to huge form swings in 2018)
Melbourne (we match-up well against them- but will be tough opponent)
Carlton (will stink)

Good to see the AFL have finally realised close footy doesn’t equal good footy. Glad to see the back of the Hawthorn double up.

Also kinda cool we get to play two of the up and coming sides in Essendon and Melbourne twice. They will both really test us.

That's actually a really good draw all around imo.

 

[FreeAgent1]

This is as good of a draw as we could hope for I think

We'll win the flag after Horse gets fired mid-season.

2 less games in Melbourne. Bet the membership price doesn't go down.

 

[The King!]

geelong again, thats the only BS part

 

[Cadsky]

Seriously if your going to dump two Vic games wtf can't the Geelong game be one of them?

How did this happen? Our double ups are against all VIC teams (except for GWS) and we played Cats at Kardinia this year.

North selling the game to TAS i get- but why isnt there only a 1 game loss?

 

[DST]

Hate it how the AFL don't put it into a printable format.

Can someone put up just our fixture on a one pager that we can print?

???? membership and pricing for Victorian members won't be released until the 8th of November and as per every year the pricing will be reflective of the number of games we play (not including the Geelong game which is an add on).

I’m surprised we still got 6 primetime games on Thursdays and Fridays. We stunk it up on every occasion this year lol

It wouldn't be a swans draw without our annual trip to the toilet of Melbourne. Lucky our recent record down there is pretty good.

But we gained Tasmania and Adelaide. Or are they to go without forever?

Richmond:
"The Round 23 clash will be the last of seven consecutive MCG matches to close out the regular season. "

From mid june after the bye, the tigers play one game outside of the Melbourne CBD.....

Equalisation FTW!

 

[Cadsky]

Drop the s**t Geelong game and give us another MCG game. Effectively gives Melbourne based supporters and extra game and the team another game to familiarize with the MCG.

I live on mornington peninsula 3 hours to Geelong or expensive ferry there and back. Bloody joke the Geelong game.

No suprise! Also strange for us to play the Bombers at the MCG but Richmond at Marvel.

Piss Tassie off too. Don't even have a team.
