Prediction 2019 Fixture

[Ports1870]

No West Coast at home would be the single greatest outcome of all.

Yeah it said no West Coast double up as well

 

[jdeezy]

Easter long weekend is 19th to 22nd. So ANZAC day is a Thursday so we might get a home game Friday night for Rd 6 ANZAC round, or maybe even a Thursday night game after Collingwood and Essendon against one of the sides who played on Easter Thursday.

Richmond, Melbourne, Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn or Carlton all have confirmed games on that weekend. You'd suspect Geelong, having played Monday the week before, would get a Sunday game too. With not a great deal of choices left, I'd say we're a fair chance at the Friday slot.

Where is the Rd 5 draw?

Where is the Rd 5 draw?

Its Easter Round, so we know:

Brisbane v Collingwood Thursday Night
North v Essendon Good Friday Arvo
West Coast v Port Good Friday Night

and we can assume

Geelong v Hawks Easter Monday

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

R1 vs Melbourne
R2 vs GWS
R3 vs Adelaide (?)
R4 vs ?
R5 vs West Coast

Now im hearing that it’s Carlton in R2 and it won’t be a Showdown in R3 as they’re playing Geelong that round.

Just gotta not believe everything and wait until it’s official tomorrow.

 

[jdeezy]

Adelaide apparently have a home game on Thursday Night in Round 3.

We have an away Friday night game in Round 5.

Therefore, I reckon that rumoured Friday Night Showdown is slotting in during Round 4, (Thursday game that round is already rumoured to be Syd v Mel so its taken), and should therefore be a Port home game. Would be massive.

So...
1- Melbourne @ MCG
2- Carlton @ Home
3- ? Away
4- Crows @ Home (Friday Night)
5- West Coast @ Perth
6- Anzac Round @ Home
10- Away
11- St Kilda @ China
12- Bye
23-@ Home

Reckon we’ll get a couple of Thursday’s/Friday’s after our Bye.

Round 6 is ANZAC Round so should be home.

Round 10 is Indigenous Round so should be away.



Another interesting tidbit looking at what has been 'leaked' so far is that Adelaide is in Darwin in Round 11, the same round we are in China. Meaning both SA teams get an away game that week. I wonder if they are planning on doing something weird like doubling up with two SA games in one weekend? That would be interesting (more likely they'll cover the 'missing' home games during the byes but still).

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

West Coast confirmed to unveil their flag against GWS in Round 2 so that leak was fake.

Ports vs Carlton in Round 2 it is!

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

R1 vs Melbourne
R2 vs GWS
R3 vs Adelaide (?)
R4 vs ?
R5 vs West Coast

Revised:
R1 vs Melbourne
R2 vs Carlton
R3 vs ? (away)
R4 Showdown
R5 West Coast

2-3 at best, depending on who we’re playing Round 3.

No trip to Mars for us in 2019...

[Schulzenfest]

Yes but don't let that put you off, they are really knowledgeable, sportsmanlike and all round pleasant people to be around!

Based on the last West Coast home game I watched, if one of our players kinghits a teenager, we can expect him to be raucously cheered for the rest of the game! How polite.

Always going to happen. We struggle at Marvel and have won twice in Ballarat. The VFL having one Vic side beat another there is fine, but sold home games for Vic sides aren’t meant to have those ‘there reluctantly for the cash’ non-Vic blow ins actually winning games.

Yep. Even though the Bulldogs are only there for cash , part of the strategy is to pick up some extra fans which is difficult when you keep getting beaten.

 

[Ishikawa]

So the conspiratory strategy from the AFL is to replace us with two teams widely tipped (arguably with most relish on this very board) to be stronger than us next year.

Makes sense.

 

[Papa G]

Both showdowns on Saturdays according to Roochewtoe

 

[Greasyrhys]

As I mentioned earlier if we get the cats at home again then it MUST be AFTER round 12 but it’ll probably be on ANZAC round again

 

[CharlieKelly]

Get your annual leave forms ready people...

 

[Coobk001]

As I mentioned earlier if we get the cats at home again then it MUST be AFTER round 12

Why?

 

[CharlieKelly]

Here we go...

[PAFC27]

So after 10 rounds I have us winning 2. Buckle up

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Collingwood at Marvel so that's one less game at the MCG we get.

 

[ROBBBO]

Lots of sat nite home games, bewdy
