Analysis 2019 fixture

[Gysberts2Bate]

Double-ups are a bit cooked but it’ll be a good challenge. Other than R14-17 our tough games are better spread out than this year. V good commercially

 

[harry000]

Not keen on the 6 day break coming back from NT after the Eagles game to play Saints away.

Glad we are playing in Darwin at night with a longer break coming back to Queens Birthday though

Does anyone know which games are FTA? AFL website won't tell me

 

[Bazza97]

Really like the fixture commercially.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Also 15 games in Victoria ain't bad considering we've sold two home games to the interstate and cop North in Tasmania.

 

[schmuttt]

Only five Sunday games, and four of those are in a row late in the year. Not bad.

Only two of them are 3:20s in Melbourne too, the rest are all earlier fixtures

Does anyone know which games are FTA? AFL website won't tell me

Some games can be iffy but generally you can assume all Friday night games, likely all Thursday night games, Saturday night depends on how good the other game is and Sunday 3:20 is always on FTA.

Five away games interstate, one at Geelong and two NT home games.

No trips to SA, one to Perth, one to Tassie, one to NSW and two to QLD.

Queens birthday a collingwood home game is interesting

 

[Bazza97]

Glad that we're finally playing a home game against the Bombers and it's great that it's a Friday Night game as well.

No wonder clubs like Collingwood get such massive membership growth when they get up in the top 8.

11 prime time games! Of course people will get a membership if that's what is available.

I mean we have 9 and they finished higher than us

Something seems so right about playing Essendon at night

We're playing in Queensland twice. Round 8 Saturday twilight against Gold Coast at Metricon and round 15 Sunday afternoon against Brisbane at the Gabba.

 

[Scythe]

Don’t play a home MCG game after 4 May until 22 June.

EDIT: We play one.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Metricon, Optus, MCG, Darwin rounds 8-11 isn’t ideal esp. given 6 day breaks between the first and last ones (Melbourne-GC-Melbourne-Perth-Melbourne is a lot of flying) but at least it’s before a 9 day QB break and then the bye.

Fixed, thanks

We host the Giants on 26 May

I need to stop posting without reading the fixture properly.

Thanks.

Yeah it looks great, a game I'm really looking forward to.

TheCount Spoiled again with two games in QLD

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

In honor of the last time we played the Bombers at the MCG

Nah we played them there in 2015 and 2016 (when we lost to their VFL hacks) too

 

[harry000]

I mean we have 9 and they finished higher than us

Only 3 of ours are home games at the G though.

They have 6 plus guarantee the Essendon game in rd 23 will make that 7.

I knew I forgot those games for a reason

 

[LeverPuller]

Actually, bit annoying that the Swans game is a Thursday night

 

[PerfectFooty]

Just looking over the primetimes slots to where we finished last year (Fridays and Thursdays)
Melbourne (3rd/4th) - 5 (Counting ANZAC eve)

Adelaide (12th) - 5
Brisbane (15th) - 1
Carlton (18th) - 1
Collingwood (2nd) - 9
Essendon (11th) - 6
Fremantle - 0
Geelong (8th/7th) - 4
Gold Coast - 0
GWS - (5th/6th) - 2
Hawthorn (5th/6th) - 5
North Melbourne (9th) - 3
Port Adelaide (10th) - 3
Richmond (2nd/3rd) - 7
St Kilda - 0
Sydney (7th/8th) - 6
West Coast (Premiers) - 4
Western Bulldogs (13th) - 1

So let me get this straight, we finished higher than Hawthorn and Sydney and play less or equal than them. Then Essendon and Adelaide Finnish outside of the 8 and they have more or equal. And how do we have more than the ****ing premiers!?

North and GWS have been shafted hard. st Kilda a couple of years ago got 4 for finishing 9th

This sharing out primetime slots by how competitive you are is the most BS thing the AFL has ever lied to us about.
