The AFL know we will pack out the Sat Twilight so they Give Port Saturday Night to make it easier for them to pack out. We would sell out both slots.

Seriously though. Both Showdowns should be a Friday Standalone game.

Having a proper ready through that fixture at the start of February and despite our boys looking fitter, stronger and all of that, there is genuine danger we could go 0-13 come the bye.

It's a seriously difficult first half of the season for a team that came 18th.

I should make more pessimistic predictions.
 
Rd 1 - Clash with local football - However, can make it work as it's trials
Rd 3 - No issues
Rd 5 - No issues
Rd 7 - Clash with local football - Cant make it due to it being season proper
Rd 10 - Clash with work (However, I MIGHT be able to finish earlier being a twilight game)
Rd 12 - Clash with work (However, I MIGHT be able to finish earlier being a twilight game)
