2019 Fixture Predictions/News/Preferences

[Millsie69]

Caro Wilson said on 5AA tonight that we’ll play Brisbane in Tassie again. So that’s 2 (potentially 3 if the crows rumour is true) of the 4 games set. Hope Gold Coast or Freo are the 4th so we don’t get that trash fixture at the G and get 30k there at most.

Just on a side note.
Is there an app or how do most peeps here put the fixture into their phones for the new season.
Takes a long time to do each round manually.
Any help be greatly appreciated.

Round 20, 2018 (versus Essendon): 68,857

Couldn’t agree more. Went to every mcg game this year bar 1, and each time I’d come home there would be an 80 page game day thread of hawks posters potting our players from their couches.

When the AFL publish the fixture Hawks usually publish an android and iphone calendar you just download into your phone.

Yeah, great.

Carlton - Likely bottom four, but may attract a decent Tassie crowd if Blues supporters want to go. Don't think I will bother. Would rather spend extra money and travel to the G for a Cats/*/Collingwood game.
Brisbane - Should be an OK game, but not much support for Brisbane down here.
Adelaide - See Brisbane. The one that I will definitely attend at this stage.
Gold Coast/Freo - Would clearly prefer Freo to give me some reason to spend 6 hours in the car to go, but more likely we get Gold Coast. Either way will be a small crowd like Brisbane & Adelaide games.

Funny, but the worst fixture for these Tassie games on paper (Carlton) will likely attract the biggest crowd, yet I will more than likely attend the other three, unless one is Gold Coast.

Like I've said a few times here.
If you live near the venue where we play in Vic. or Interstate, unless you have a legitimate excuse attend the game!
No excuses to be at your keyboard because of weather etc.
Get to the game.

[Jimmy#17]

Only 1 game against Port and its in Tassie?

 

[Millsie69]

Very quick glance, only one home game at Etihad and it's sunday twilight against the Suns.....expecting about 20,000 for that game.
