Point is, other teams get percentage boost that WC is not given each year.....Again, who cares. Control what we can control.

So how come always playing GC??I just love that people here believe the idea that the fixturing people at the AFL sit down to prepare round 1, and their first thought isn't the GF rematch, or what blockbusters they could schedule, but to ensure that they screw us over by scheduling us against a team with a slightly better historical W/L in the first month of the season than the rest of the year.
Pardon the intrusion, but we were just as shafted as you were when we received an away game against Essendon as our first fixture. It was anything BUT a percentage boost.Point is, other teams get percentage boost that WC is not given each year.....
Freo tends to get shafted worse than west coast with the fixture.Pardon the intrusion, but we were just as shafted as you were when we received an away game against Essendon as our first fixture. It was anything BUT a percentage boost.
Obviously they don’t but you’re a bit naive to think that they don’t look at all Vic benefits first before they consider the interstate clubs.I just love that people here believe the idea that the fixturing people at the AFL sit down to prepare round 1, and their first thought isn't the GF rematch, or what blockbusters they could schedule, but to ensure that they screw us over by scheduling us against a team with a slightly better historical W/L in the first month of the season than the rest of the year.

That was my point.To be fair you have to win to actually start worrying about percentage boosts.
So all 10 Victorian teams play amongst themselves in Victoria round 1 in a festival of footy. I’ve no issue with this as it’s a good idea to bring footy back to Victoria with a bang after they’ve missed so much over the last 2 years
It means they all play a game in their home state and all their home fans get to watch their team live round 1
Great opportunity for the AFL to replicate that in all states by pairing each of the Qld,NSW,SA and WA teams and make a real thing of the return to football
But yeah let’s focus on Victoria and the non-Victorian teams become an afterthought. Never change VAFL
My understanding is that we got a bit pissy a couple years ago about how Freo have exclusivity to playing Anzac round in Perth (their Len Hall game) so it was agreed upon that we'd get the season opener at home as a trade off. Looks like we'll be playing every first round in Perth in the foreseeable future.Strange we’re starting at home again this year. Wasn’t there a big huff and puff from
Freo after we won the flag?
Real uninspiring first game though
You obviously have low expectations for us next year then.Love the armchair ride they gave the Melbourne clubs in Round 1, f***ing Gil and his VFL comp.
In regards to us, i'm shocked that we get another home fixture to open the season but we must take advantage, I don't see us beating the Suns though to be quite honest, if they have a full lineup I think they can run us off the park, they probably should have won last year but fell away in the last quarter.
True, a pretty uninspiring win.Let's be honest, the hugely unconvincing performance against GC in Round 1 this year was a pretty decent indicator of where the side was at (especially mentally). I'm actually pleased we're getting them again. Very much hoping we come out and make a statement with a big win. Anything less will have me concerned about a repeat season in the nether-zone.

I felt we should have gone through a mini rebuild at least this off season, I don't see the point in playing both Hurn and Kennedy next season.You obviously have low expectations for us next year then.

If you think of them as the last two players in the squad, it makes perfect sense. If we had delisted them, who would we replace them with? Some spuds from the 4th round of the draft or some delisted free Agents?I felt we should have gone through a mini rebuild at least this off season, I don't see the point in playing both Hurn and Kennedy next season.
