When was the last time we didn’t go to Geelong!

6 Melbourne games actually in Melbourne is a win for the crew down there.

Very happy with this.

Plus our return games aren't impossible.

I rate St Kilda's list but they have a hard fixture next year so could be down on confidence when we cop them.

6 games in Melbourne is really good

Floating fixture can **** off though

 

[Dan87]

Don't mind those double ups or Melbourne games

 

[MF]

Pretty happy with everything except for the Thursday night games but it looks like that's just the way things will be from now on

great fixture. wouldnt have minded one the marvel games at the mcg so its 3/3, but were not going to play finals so doesnt matter too much

 

[ScottBo]

How does Essendon get these double-ups, with Collingwood a good chance to slide....

North Melbourne (17) Sydney (16) Hawthorn (15) GWS Giants (10) Top 8 side --Collingwood

And wooden spoooner Adelaide get this....

North Melbourne (17) Hawthorn (15) Melbourne (9). Top 8 sides -- Port Adelaide, West Coast

Only downside is Bombers at Marvel which means a cost on top of the membership for a reserved seat.

Really, well I won't go to that one then... that sucks! Why is that?

 

[Mister B]

Because Essendon still believe that they are relevant and that their large number of "members" will bother turning up to watch them in a stadium that is undersized for their supporters. Some of the reserved seating is only 4 or 5 bucks but then you end up sitting with Essendon supporters who are bogan, rum drinking, arrogant ****wits.

Bugger the Saturday games , really wish they were Sundays . That's selfish , but a fact for me with my own footy commitments .

 

[Crust]

Those first six games will be interesting. I reckon 4-2 would be good - losses to Richmond and Brisbane, wins v GWS, Adelaide, GC and Essendon. Might even give the Lions a shake.
Suns at Metricon will be close I feel.

I agree, train every Saturday from 12-3.

Sunday games are fantastic

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Personally I refer Saturday games, watch the races, then sit down watch the footy

Not if they are at 1 45pm . Sunday was our day

Hey if it's going badly you can whack a quaddie down to ease the pain- that's one positive I guess.

On a serious note, I actually like afternoon games, the football is better, suits our side too.We are more likely to win when the conditions are less greasy as they'd be at night.

Yep Sunday arvo's. perfect

You guys can't complain, if I want to watch our Round 2 and 3 matches I have to get up at 3:45am. Round 6 is 4:45am.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Nice to be able to take the kids to a few games (well.....one so far).

I can complain because i'm in Australia and you for whatever reason are in the Fatherland.

Simple solution: don't go to bed. Hit the Berlin clubs and push through.

Anyway, you should do what the rest of us do and adjust your clocks to Swans Time. It'll be made easier by the fact it'll be Spring and Summer over there.

We finish 3rd last and all of our double match ups are with teams that finished higher than us in 2020. Not sure that's very fair. Thought we would get one of Adelaide or North in a return game.

I’d rather not get a soft fixture. We’ll learn more facing the good teams

 

[Jewelsbon]

I think it's a great fixture for us, not the easiest but not the hardest either.
I think if we can play next season how we finished last season, I think we will surprise a lot of people - many of whom on this very site that don't ever seen to see anything positive!
