[Ardent Roo]

With all due respect to the Tassie supporters it’s only the games there that stuff up what is actually a pretty good fixture. If they were Melbourne games I reckon most would deem it fairly reasonable. So really it’s our own fault. The sooner they get their team the better.

This is the root cause of all our fixturing issues. We are diluting our options by 25% every year so it is hard to whinge about the fixture when we have done this to ourselves.

 

[tales129]

We got 38,469 to the Carey Adelaide game in 2003.
I don’t think JHFs first game back in Melbourne against us would get that but f*** we’d have gotten close to 30 if not more.
It would be the hottest ticket in town that weekend. Members, neutrals and everyone watching on at home would be tuned it. And now it gets hidden down in Tassie on a Saturday afternoon.

For a league that releases a fixture designed to generate crowds and maximise attendance this is a massive own goal by the club and the AFL.

It’s f***ing s**t

Absolutely get it, but Horne won’t play against us

I'm not sure you're aware of this but the clubs don't really get a say in the fixture. How is it an own goal by the club?

 

[danj]

My hatred of Tassie games outweighs my hatred of Judas.

I shall not be attending.

Mate that’s a shame we always try to back on a few days and make a holiday out of it, Hobart has some great places to visit and eat and if you’ve got a couple of weeks you can do a circuit of the wineries, breweries plus cheeses and seafood!!

 

[Overitalready]

Unfortunately due to our past performances over the last few years we are not going to get blockbuster games. We chose to play in Tassie, so it is what it is. If Clarkeson can turn us around and we win more games than lose, then the next fixture might be a bit better for our supporters. Also all the talk of revenge to JHF. Get over it he's gone. He can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk?

Tassie itself is great. Was down there earlier in the year. Had a blast.

Won’t support the games we play down there though. Especially when it has been increased to four from the initial two that it was 10(!) years ago.

 

[dus]

Be patient.

Our time will come to get Judas on our home deck.

I’d rather it be in a year or 2 and we are flying by then.

No point giving it to him all game and they knock us off.

Fair enough but it will be resolved once Tassie has their own team in a few short years (or decades )

 

[kool kangas]

Why couldn't our game against the Pies be our home game at Marvel instead of theirs. Now we will be sitting up in the bleachers on level 3 ..

Or at the G. We will need to start getting practice in on the hallowed turf for upcoming September action

Yep - Tassie way too cold. Too much like an ice bath. Only for the strong minded….

 

[see see]

So Goldy's 300th is on track to be played in some South Australian backwater. FMD.

The only upside to this is that he'll probably be able to legitimately claim he played his 300th in front of a sellout crowd.

 

[bennymate]

Hopefully Clarko can get our Tassie record back on track

Tassie isnt that cold at all,I have lived in Northern England and it was way colder than Hobart is.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Throwing it out there…

I am yet to renew my membership due to, well, not being able to afford it.
We’ve had to recently fork out some cash to various medical appointments/procedures around the fact we have recently found out we are expecting our second joey & the memberships were pushed back to be paid for next year.

I’ve since learned tickets go ‘on sale’ tomorrow, the 12th, for the Magical Reacharound & I’m extremely worried I’m going to now miss out, as I will not have access due to said membership not yet being renewed.

Is there anyone here who thinks they won’t be coming to SA for it that would be able to use their free ticket allocation & grab one (ideally 2, but I can live with going just by myself) for me when they go on ‘sale’ tomorrow?

I’ll buy 3 pints when I’m in Melbourne during the season.

EDIT:
Two absolute BF legends have hooked me up. Thank you friends!

 

[Agenda 21]

I'm pretty happy with the FIXture.

There aint any easy teams, in this league.

I can't wait to get to the MCG again, for a night match!!

So nostalgic.

Bring on 2023 + the pre game frofies!

Melbourne can get colder than Hobart.

Indeed Melbourne is actually colder than most of Tasmania.

And if we rest him a week he plays at Metricon.

 

[Gasometer]

Resting Goldy runs the risk of a nail biting final Round with the possibility of us missing a top 4 position

No resting Goldy!

Goldy is a workhorse, thrives on it

 

[Event Horizon]

Hello Roos fans I live in Mount Barker SA and am looking for tickets to the round 5 game v Brisbane. Any members willing to sell me theirs? Thanks in advance

Can't you just turn up, climb the fence and sit on the grass like the other 300 people?

 

[The acurate one]

I'd suggest Goldy wouldn't be the first AFL footballer to play away for a milestone game. When one considers the Indian Pacific Limited FC joined the comp in 1987. AKA West Coast Eagle.

A decent draw and we're a chance of being 4/2 from our first six. Then 5/7 from our first 12. I'd take that.

This time last season, although I admit I was 50% wrong as I had us 2/12, we were 1/12. I didn't allow for the Nobles multiplier.

And those bagging Tassie I for one am glad we played there as it gave us 2 mil per season, that has played a huge part in shoring up our club.
Glad to leave and I just hope we've a plan in place to continue to be profitable.

As in other ideas which aren't aimed as members to donate.
