Hard to see the Pies finishing top 4 this season with their draw.
nothing personal mate - for what its worth I like watching collingwood's style of play.
could substitute Collingwood and Essendon in my statement for any team if any team were in their places with that many primetime Friday night games.
more the principle of picking winners.
I hope it fails again and the AFL learn to not try pick winners, to spread the timeslot around to everyone, but with top 8 teams getting 2 or 3 or 4 each, but no more
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
I was replying to the poster that didn't want to refer to the ground as 'Marvel Stadium' -he could call it 'Docklands' like the ABC.
Had a bad night - no excuses, your excuse for another GF choke???
Glad to see the Tige's aren't fixtured to play in Tassie or Ballarat next year. Less chance for them to all catch the sniffles.
Don't tell me you're a flat earther too

We knocked out freo in the semi finals and were 1 kick out of the grand final.

The Pies have a super easy draw when you consider that the players wants are recover. On review of all 22 games we are super well placed.
Of the 22 games we only meet our opponents 3 times where they have a longer recovery, one of those is North coming off the bye.
On 4 occasions we meet our opponents with the same recovery period.
THIS IS THE GOOD PART.
9 times we meet our opponents having had an extra days recovery .
6 Times we meet our opponents having had TWO extra days recovery.
So 15 times vs 3 we meet our opponents having had better recovery.

AFL giving geelong a joke of a fixture again. they have it way too easy
No excuse but probably over confident seeing what s**t trucks you have been under Bucks but really, beaten by a better team on the day, it happens. Whats your excuse for choking on GF day for the 27th time?
How did Collingwood get such a sweet fixture for money making, 9 games, 7 on Fridays and 3 Thursdays, when we get 3 Fridays, 3 Thursdays, yet we have attracted the largest crowds for the last two years and for 3 of the last 4 years not to mention our Thursdays had over 1 million viewers on each night, does Eddie have pictures of Gill with an Au Pair girl or something and Essendon after bringing the game to it's knees for 4 years and not winning a final in recent history get 3 Thursdays and 3 Fridays?
Is there any more contrived competition in World sport, how much would it cost to draw the fixture from a bloody hat or barrel, they could have a TV show about it to recoup some of the lost money, but overall there would still be blockbusters and all clubs would get a random chance at a good or bad draw and on the big money making games.

You didn't let me finish, I as going to say I hope the Suns finish a lot higher than where they have been last couple of years, so that we all can enjoy them on the big stage, and all the best to its supporters. Why you want to hate on the pies, we love you all.
You need glasses then, I bet your enjoying the honeydicking your club is getting by the media. I had sneak peak at the bombers draw and the news is not great, they play the pies twice.
All I'm saying learn to accept and love change, don't be all mad when the Pies and Tiges play in the first ever night GF later next year.
Won’t go to night. Might go to twilight in an attempt to appease everyone but ultimately please no one.

Roughly the same number, although some more outlandish names.
ANZ Stadium = Stadium Australia
Allianz Stadium = Sydney Football Stadium
AAMI Park = Melbourne Rectangular Stadium
McDonald Jones Stadium = Newcastle International Sports Centre
Sydney Cricket Ground
Leichhardt Oval
Campbelltown Stadium
1300SMILES Stadium = Willows Sports Complex
Mt Smart Stadium
Panthers Stadium = Penrith Football Stadium
Cbus Super Stadium = Robina Stadium
Jubilee Oval
GIO Stadium = Canberra Stadium
Suncorp Stadium = Lang Park
Shark Park
Lottoland = Brookvale Oval
Sunshine Coast Stadium
WIN Stadium = Wollongong Showground
Western Sydney Stadium
(for now)Belmore Sports Ground
Its a surprise the AFL haven't done that again, given both clubs have said they don't want it to happen.

What was the reasoning for that?
Not sure, but I suspect both clubs want to be able to tap into both ends of the island rather than inflame another north-south rivalry. North's AFLW team will play one game at North Hobart and one at York Park, for example.
