[Shinboner1]

So the player money is on top of the $500k to clubs?

Yes

 

[Mr north man]

I expect at least the 1st 9 rounds will be 1:10,4:40 and 7:20pm games on Saturday and Sunday with 4 of them being in Wa,SA and 2 Tasmanian games with 1 of them against a big name Victorian club which be either Richmond or Collingwood in Hobart.
As for the Victorian games I expect a trip to Geelong,a MCG game and the rest at Marvel.
As for a Home game against Port Adelaide in 2nd half of the season well if it happens it maybe a Round 20 games personally I don’t think it will happen.
Now if supporters think the AFL will do us favour with the draw think again and I just want the supporters to be prepared for what could happen as the AFL The $$$$$ coming in and will be under orders from Channel 7 to produce a draw to make $$$ for all parties involved and if the NMFC are to be made the sacrificial lamb to make this happen they won’t care .
In many ways this shouldn’t happen but it does as the AFL and Channel 7 are in the business to make $$$$ and wouldn’t give a rats arse about the NMFC or it’s supporters.

 

[Gasometer]

Start winning and the times and days change. Simple

Anyway how does the Radelaide Magic Round happen with all those games? Is it spread over two weeks?

The irony of Magic and Radelaide…

 

[Ruckle]

Am I understanding the magic round means Goldsteins 300th is in Adelaide? And this has been timed to match school holidays but its not school holidays in SA. WTF?

Sorry a mate texted me outraged and I am in a meeting at work.

[King Corey]

Here's my magic round.

12 teams, all based out of Victoria, playing in Victoria on a Saturday afternoon.

With or with out all the best players from the rest of the country? If we had stuck with that idea the VFL would have gone broke and North would be a Bridge Club.

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Magic Round.

What a genuinely pointless idea.

 

[tales129]

Nah trust me if you’ve ever come over to Adelaide for a game it will be bloody decent.

We are guaranteed to not get a game at Adelaide oval though.

If they shove one regionally in the Barossa I’d imagine there will be at least one big name playing in that to try and draw tourists out that way. I can see us playing a game at Unley oval or the parade.

As someone who lives in Adelaide this is a genuinely great thing for the state - and if you’ve ever drunk in wine bars or eaten at little restaurants here it will amplify everything in conjunction with the footy.

Should be called the festival of footy

Double headers are expected to take place at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, while the remaining three games will take place in suburban or regional venues.

The Herald Sun reports Barossa Valley is set to stage one match and Norwood believed to be another venue.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

I think the JHF game is a possibility.

With the amount football North and Hawthorn play interstate, I think they might view it as an opportunity to match North with Port and Adelaide with Hawthorn for the weekend

It's brilliant, just a pity the AFL has said they want to take it to other states after next year.

The suburban ground choice will be very interesting. Prospect Ovals close vicinity to the city plus a decent amount of motels/hotels along Main North Rd and in North Adelaide makes it the prefect choice (oh and its close to me!). But I reckon they will chose Glenelg as you have good accom nearby and the tram to get people there from the city.

Where we play could be anywhere depending on how the AFL think. Put us against Port or Adelaide as they know that will be a sell out, or have us as one of the double headers, on a Sunday of course! But then if they know they can only get 3 or 4 thousand at Glenelg then they might but us up against someone like Melbourne there.

Anyway, I've cancelled my holiday to Shanghai to watch the F1 race so I can watch the footy!

 

[muttley45]

Reckon you will need a bit of luck trying to get discount or even regular airfares to Adelaide for magic round, airlines have form with price gouging when the opportunity presents.

 

[shinboner magic]

Magic round should of been in either tas or nt - even both

 

[Makeshift Park]

Magic Round.

What a genuinely pointless idea.

I believe the point is to extract $13m out of a state government that needs some bread and circuses to appease the masses.

 

[Nate7]

This is a poor copy of what the NRL has been doing for years.

yeh you’re probably right in regards to the local teams playing someone lower drawing to pull some heads through the gates.

Would love to play at the parade though, just a stroll down the road and watch the kangas!

 

[The Nostradamus]

in terms of indicative timing

Round 1 was announced 4th dec last year

And the full fixture December 9th

We'll probably get Gold Coast at Coober Pedy.

No issue with playing under a roof.

Yep. It’s going to be a fantastic weekend.
I hope we play at the Parade. My favourite ground to watch SANFL footy at.

Good call as there's a very good chance there won't be an F1 race in Shanghai next year.

why is that?
