2020 AFL fixture released

[JohnZ]

Meanwhile Geelong get kissed on the proverbial with all 11 games at their two preferred venues

We have one preferred venue and we play 9 home games there. Nice re-write of history there.

You have two preferred venues and get 10 home games there. Plus at least 1 away game on Easter Monday. PLUS the Tas Gov pays you for the privilege of it. That's getting kissed on the dick. Oh also 4 interstate away games.

 

[boncer34]

Collingwood finally do the Perth double.

 

[JohnZ]

Why do we once again have a 5-week period between home games mid-season?!? Like 2019, we gotta play the hawks away the week before China, & play the cats here on a Saturday night in round 14. If this is what the club has requested then KKK need to get lost!!!

You sell a game to china and complain about not having a home game? You have forced GC and the Saints to move a home game to China!

 

[JohnZ]

Collingwood finally do the Perth double.

Geelong do it with 2 games inbetween (Rd 3 and 6)

 

[Del191229]

You’ve probably watched the highlights of that game as many times as I’ve watched the highlights of the 2019 GF.

Shame the ‘Name a Game’ service closed down, you could’ve immortalised that famous victory - played it for your children and your children’s children.

Nah belting Collingwood a few weeks later was the satisfying one.

As a small club you savour the wins over big clubs.

You blokes was just run of the mill.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Fantastic for us to get our bitches North Melbourne as a double. I can get used to beating them twice in a year.

And if they win JeanLucJaneway will donate his wallet.

Collingwood finally do the Perth double.

Player with a positive test for coke AND ice?

 

[Millsie69]

Nice of the AFL to schedule us against another Melbourne opponent at 4:40pm on Mothers Day again.....

Be thankful it's not against GWS like the Hawks copped this year?

 

[Hawkk]

Happy for Geelong to get 11 games at Cat Park...

Might also mean we can drop Geelong (as you cant play a marquee game at a Cow Paddock) and we can play our proper rival (Essendon) on Easter Monday

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Showdown and derby should be Friday night locks, with seven pumping the tyres in Melbourne. Stupid it's still not happening

Yep and the Derby should start at 4:40 so that it gets beamed into Melbourne for a 6:40 start. Can’t see any problems with that

 

[Coach_Required]

Collingwood finally do the Perth double.

Geelong & Richmond as well.

Makes Freo & West Coast home games a lot harder too, instead of easy 4 point matches.

 

[Pykie]

Playing GWS is better than playing a higher drawing Victorian opponent, it's the worst fixture for the entire year, it wouldn't matter who was scheduled there'd be a major % reduction in the crowd.

We played Geelong at Marvel this year at 1:10pm on Mothers Day in front of 21k.


I see Jeffrey got his wish after his whinging, whilst we got lumped with it AGAIN as a home game.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

You sell a game to china and complain about not having a home game? You have forced GC and the Saints to move a home game to China!

They also had the bye then 4 AO games straight after in 2019 and 3 in 2020. Everything catered to them there.

 

[manicmagpie]

Had they previously announced that Perth Sunday games are now going to start at 5:20 EST instead of 4:40?

So you're saying that playing us on Mother's Day twilight is worse than playing GWS in the same timeslot?

He was whinging about copping literally the exact same type of crap draw that you are now whinging about too!

 

[boncer34]

Geelong & Richmond as well.

Makes Freo & West Coast home games a lot harder too, instead of easy 4 point matches.

West Coast beat Richmond by 47 and 68 points last time they played them in Perth.

Not exactly sure they'll be quaking with fear.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Is the ground still higher on one side of the park than the other?

 

[Coach_Required]

West Coast beat Richmond by 47 and 68 points last time they played them in Perth.

Not exactly sure they'll be quaking with fear.

and nor should they, that's not my point though. I'm just highlighting a tougher fixture works both ways.

 

[dropbear101]

All those people melting over the fact they only got 1 or 2 prime time slots when freo haven't had one in 4 years.

You are the carlton of the west

Soz

 

[BruceTempany14]

Where in the fixture does Richmond play at the MCG for 8 weeks straight?

mate youll never win arguing with idiots.

 

[BruceTempany14]

Expecting outrage from Geelong fans after their club was handed 4 of last 5 games at GMHBA, given the way they carried on about the unfairness of the draw for Richmond in 2019.

Gerard the sanctimonious is suspiciously quite on this issue.

 

[Underarm]

All those people melting over the fact they only got 1 or 2 prime time slots when freo haven't had one in 4 years.

Round 22 V Essendon on a saturday night not good enough?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Fantastic for us to get our bitches North Melbourne as a double. I can get used to beating them twice in a year.

It's total arrogance like that which make me glad you got stripped of the Marquee Good Friday Fixture.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Marvel Stadium is Richmond's Achilles heal ; very happy to only have to play St Kilda and Port there.

I don't think the Tigers play AAMI Stadium all that well either, to be honest.
