Prediction 2022 Fixture - that's entertainment. Your Freo predictions.

[88mph]

I reckon Gil will agree to everything with the caveat that: "Games can be moved to the Freo... uh sorry... the Super Sunday WA Prime Time Slot at any given time".

Personally I think we're shaping up to be one of the more entertaining sides, a bit like when the previously defensively dour Arsenal lost their 'Boring Boring Arsenal' moniker upon Wenger's arrival (for the old school EPL fans out there). Still don't see us getting much Friday night action though.

If the AFL has learnt from COVID, they won't lock fixtures for the whole year ahead.

Yes we'll know who we're playing but days/times will be scheduled weeks in advance to ensure the good games get primetime.

If we're s**t, we'll get Sunday arvo. Simple.

Highly likely we will play Brisbane or Gold Coast according to this

If.. and a big if, the afl swap the home fixtures around from 2021 then we should be at home. Brisbane played at home last year and Gold Coast played West Coast in Perth so it would be looking highly likely that we are playing Brisbane. Adelaide is the other possibility having played a home game last year. Definitely it’s either Adelaide or Brisbane. Brissy would be a huge test given they absolutely flogged us last season and a chance to avenge that disaster, while Adelaide would possess a good opportunity (no excuses) to start the season off in fine form with a young group set to take a huge lead much like we did in 2010

That’s some BS.

Odds on it being our home game for Easter Saturday?

Only way I’ll be able to make a game *if* I can actually get to Perth in the first place.

 

[mike91]

3 years in a row defies logic, f**k right off! Surely the club sends the afl a please explain

don’t think it’ll be our home game - think it’ll be r5 so it will probably be away

I'm not even sure having them round 1 is good news. I'd rather be having a crack at Port as underdogs and trying to get them on the hop, rather than play a bottom team likely to be up and about.
Hopefully it means we get them twice though even that isn't guaranteed with the AFL

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Pretty annoyed, third straight away game opener, not what we needed for a fast start. Hopefully at least this year our final game will be at home for balance but it wasn't last year. Hate to whinge already but we haven't gotten any favours from a fixturing perspective for a long time and that looks to be continuing.
Must be nice to be handed a cheap kill like GC at Optus.

 

[PH Docker]

IT does suck that it’s another away game to start the year, however if we are serious about making the eight next year we should take care of the Crows no matter where ever we play them!

 

[freo1997]

Meh if we're a serious team we should take care of business v Adelaide.

 

[MadMundy]

Adelaide first? I'd like to start the season off with a 60 point win.

Dale's post has our requests for the fixture. key/interesting ones for me are

• Both WA clubs investigating doing their own 'Dreamtime' fixture as part of the Indigenous round
• Both clubs want the derby to be on national FTA and on Friday night (lol, not a chance)
• wanting to avoid playing in Tassie, NT or Geelong (6 in Vic, 2 at AO, 1 in NSW, 1 in QLD)
• Want home game round 1, sunday night games for Len Hall game (day before ANZAC day) and on the WA Day long weekend (we had that as well this year yeah?)

Looks like AFL ignored the round 1 home request.

Not suprised by the slightest

Interesting how many of these requests actually happen

Happy to start away if it means we finish at home, especially given we are a chance to play finals.

Looking forward to it, may even try to get a ticket and fly over.

Are 4:40 games at Burswood on a Sunday a thing now?

 

[Demons09]

I’m niot confident we’ll be playing home game till later in the season regardless.

 

[Unique Name]

100% if we have close to a full team we should be winning. Home or away. We have to start meeting these expectations and not crumbling when the pressure to peform is on.
