[GoldenMagpie16]

We play Sydney at the MCG, it’s a miracle.
Playing North as a marvel home game pisses me off.
Too many Sunday games for my liking.

 

[Gone Critical]

Fairly tough draw although only 2 of last years finalists for double up. Think Port Ess Carl and Adel are all likely to improve on their 2022 effort

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Round 14 Bye ……. That’s our bogey team .. our danger game

 

[BigVic]

Tough draw. Weagles in Perth then Melbourne and against Grundy for the first time on King’s Birthday prior to our midseason break.

 

[Vicky Park]

Fairly tough draw although only 2 of last years finalists for double up. Think Port Ess Carl and Adel are all likely to improve on their 2022 effort

Playing Richmond, Melbourne, Sydney and Bulldogs once is not bad.

 

[stormskye]

Can’t complain with that draw. Only play two of last years top 8 twice, and syd in melb (finally). No excuses

 

[BigVic]

Playing Richmond, Melbourne, Sydney and Bulldogs once is not bad.

Sydney at the MCG on Mother’s Day. First MCG game in 10 years against the Swans

 

[barrackers]

And the winner of the annual host a Marvel tenant on their ground charity home game give away for 2023 is…

NM

 

[Kappa]

Why do we get sundays and not Friday/Thursday nights

 

[eddiesmith]

Sydney at the MCG on Mother’s Day. First MCG game in 10 years against the Swans

GWS is Mothers Day.

 

[eddiesmith]

Round 14 Bye ……. That’s our bogey team .. our danger game

Back to back Byes it’ll be tough to come out firing in Rd15, lucky it’s Adelaide at the G.

 

[jimmy35]

Decent draw, I like it.

 

[JB1975]

Why do we get sundays and not Friday/Thursday nights

I'd like to share this whine with you.

I despise Sunday football. Congrats to those who couldn't care less, but end-of-weekend footy (especially late arvo) is something I tend to avoid.

More Fri/Sat night would be grand, not least to showcase a team which played exciting football in 2022.

 

[Jen2310]

How do Carlton who finished 9th get more thur-fri than us? lol

Its the preseason carlton pump up.

 

[ipswichpies]

I wonder if any other interstate teams will be at AO 3 times in the season, obviously the Crows and Port will as it,s there home base,I think we would have better off if we had played 1 of the SA teams in the magic rd if not 1 of our interstate rivals.

And why do we play the Lions at home at Mar I do not think they have done Collingwood any favours apart from the game against Swans and that only after waiting 10 yrs for it to happen.

 

[Pistol Night]

And the winner of the annual host a Marvel tenant on their ground charity home game give away for 2023 is…

NM

To be fair they need the charity. No point flogging them at the G with 27 of their supporters there

 

[Pistol Night]

How do Carlton who finished 9th get more thur-fri than us? lol

Its the preseason carlton pump up.

At least when they lose on Thursday and Friday we’ve got all weekend to bask in it

 

[Aussie pie]

There’s a typo in the fixture. It should read SCG not MCG against the swans, I’m sure the AFL will fix that soon.

 

[Jen2310]

The caveat here is that there are always surprises. For example, the five clubs drawn to play Collingwood twice in 2022 — Adelaide, Gold Coast, Essendon and Carlton — were probably licking their lips 12 months ago. But they combined for 0-10 as the Pies soared.

But an encore Collingwood fairytale suddenly looks less likely. The Magpies meet Geelong and Brisbane twice, as well as a rising Port Adelaide and Essendon, knowing anything can happen on Anzac Day. That’s as tough as a $2 steak.

Collingwood Magpies​

Thursday Nights: 1
Friday Nights: 2
Marquee Match-Ups: Massive rd 1 clash with Geelong, rd 3 showdown with Richmond; Anzac Day clash with Essendon in round 6m and King’s Birthday clash with Melbourne in rd 13 as part of the Big Freeze.
Who You Play Twice: Geelong, Port Adelaide, Brisbane Lions, Essendon, Adelaide, Carlton
When Is Your Bye?: round 14
Defining Stretch: The Magpies were always going to cop a hit with next year’s fixture, given their fairytale run this year. It’s a brutal first month that includes Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane (away) as well as likely improvers Port Adelaide. The double-up games don’t look easy with Adelaide looking the most appetising. It’s a testing draw, but the Pies are up to it.
Expected Finish: 3rd-8th

[unplugged]

You guys didn't work out from the 2022 season that Sunday is the new Channel 7 prime time? Slow learners. I'm not surprised at all.

 

[manicmagpie]

We’ve got a relatively easy draw for a team finishing 3rd.

We play 1st, 4th, 9th, 11th, 14th & 15th twice. Given we had to play 2 of the top 6 as a minimum and have managed to get 2 of the bottom 6 when we might have got 0, I’m not sure we can ask for much more in that respect.

Our interstate games are to 4 teams who didn’t make the finals plus Brisbane.

Yes, we’ve got the usual Docklands home games but those are seemingly mandatory.

We’ve done pretty well.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Finally play Sydney at the MCG. First time since 2013.

We have the standard two home games at Marvel against North Melbourne and Brisbane Lions and our one away Marvel game against the Western Bulldogs.

We have a lot of Sunday games in the first 15 rounds. 7 out of 14 games are scheduled for a Sunday.
