12 wins for season.

We've been fisted, the 8th hardest draw even though we've been awful for 3 seasons in comparison to the likes of Geelong (12) and Richmond (13)

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Not bad at all IMO as far as fixtures go

Still get the two games at the G. Plus some nice Melbourne based games and no Geelong trips

Two AO trips to lessen travel burden is always good

Plus we play another team coming off the bye when we come off the bye (followed by Melbourne who are coming off their bye). The 6 day breaks v Collingwood & Essendon are shit as they get 8 day breaks

It's a touch early for that.

Port, Dogs and St Kilda are all capable of a bad year.

 

[Kenny_01]

I wonder why Adelaide got a second game against a 13-18th team, whilst we didn't?

We did - against the Bulldogs. Table is wrong.

 

[nurries]

All the teams below us we play at home except GC which we really should beat.

No game at SCG or Geelong is a positive

[Wally Walpamur]

Tough choice choosing between a footy trip to Melbourne - Collingwood or Melbourne, both on Saturday before and after the bye. Both tough games and probably two beltings.

9 wins would be a great disappointment if we have a good run with injuries. Our best 22-26 is better than 9 wins.

Ross should lose his job if this were to eventuate.

If I had the choice I would go to the Hawks game.

We will get belted but I have never been to Tassie.

Apart from the trip to Antarctica it’s pretty decent

5 - Bulldogs

5 - Richmond

Take home games out. If you choose to play out of state then that's your problem.

 

[Randomizor]

Essendon’s fixture is a joke though. Absolutely sick of the favouritism the AFL has for some teams. It’s stuff like this that is turning me off of the AFL.

 

[Kenny_01]

Essendon play unaccountable footy which the broadcasters love.

Agree. I suspect if you do that, Vic clubs will travel interstate either 5 or 6 times and all non-Vics 10 times. Pretty much all the AFL can do really. With the current number of clubs, no conferences and the MCG GF deal, the draw can never be made completely fair.

Get a load of the Crows schedule.

They're paying $3.25 to finish top 4, you can just about lock it in if they get a semi decent injury run.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Double up games against Port, Essendon, Buldogs and St Kilda are not idea.

I think Port and Essendon will be pushing for the finals, and the Buldogs are the best of the worst teams.

Port will be rubbish IMO. They have lost all of their outside run.

The percentage boost from the Saints games will be helpful though

 

[Unique Name]

Early days from CD

I thought geez Saints got a good fixture.... but check out there first 10 rounds. Ouch!

 

[Unique Name]

Pretty happy with that. Seems like a decent even draw for us. Winnable games both home and away. Decent double ups. Hopefully a nice start to the season.

 

[greatgatsby]

I think it's OK. Games against likely top four sides - Dees, Pies - that we will likely lose anyway are at the G and we have a lot of winnable home games. The double-ups (excluding the Weags who we play twice every year) are all winnable, including Essendon, who are being pumped up ridiculously in the off season.

Tassie is the real downer, although even that will be better than when they were grand finalists every year.

Looking forward to Manuka to gauge progress - last year only the wind saved us from a full hiding!

If we're 4 and 7 after Round 11 the wheels will fall off (again). Your 'wins' against Port, Sydney and Ess will become losses. We'll be lucky to win 6 games. Confidence is an amazing thing. Once it's gone - it's gone.

On the other hand, if Hogan/Fyfe/Blakely/Hill etc stay fit we could easily win one those away games and the boys could really fire. We'd be 5-6 and still in with a shot at the 8.

Oops, I just dropped my Crystal Ball and it seems to have broken - I can't see anything more. Wait..... there is something... it's Andrew Gaff getting a soft free kick in front of goals in the first Derby so the umpires can 'take control of the game' - Langdon and Jackovich as making a mess of the commentary..... nope - gone again.

Anyway, I still think injuries play a bigger part in your season than fixtures. Good teams win anywhere - anytime.
