Fixture 2023 Fixture

[Marmozet]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the AFL give us a piss easy 2017 type draw to hopefully make us finish 5th-8th and have to keep Hinkley.

Bottom 6: Adelaide, North Melbourne
Middle 6: Gold Coast, St Kilda
Top 6: Fremantle

Presumably it's being released at the end of October again?

I assume so.

 

[TeeKray]

Presumably there will be 23 games and therefore 6 double ups with this 'magic round' thing going ahead ...

Relax. We'd still be a risk of losing three of those. And as TeeKray said, there's probably a sixth to add, so Collingwood.

Well you can pencil in a double-up against North Melbourne.

Adelaide and Port Adelaide rotate having a double up fixture with Collingwood and Richmond, so lock them in for one of our double ups. We also alternate between Carlton and Essendon as double ups. 2023 we should be getting Collingwood and Carlton.

North Melbourne and Adelaide will be our bottom six double ups. Reckon it will look something like this:

Top 6: Collingwood, Fremantle

Middle 6: Carlton

Bottom 6: Adelaide, North Melbourne

With a fit list - we should be be going 7-3 at a minimum against those teams, given that we lost to four of them by a combined total of 21 points away from home.

 

[philreich]

It's that time of year when rumours are doing the rounds. So who knows if this is true or not, but I read this morning that we could be playing North in Adelaide in round 1.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Well yes, we could be. There are also 16 other teams we could be playing against and around 10 other venues we could be playing at.

 

[philreich]

And if we do happen to play at home in round 1, I'm sure certain Crows fans will complain about Port always getting a home game first up - despite the fact that we've played interstate for the past 5 years.

 

[jdeezy]

I'm certain our first match up against North will be in Melbourne, the AFL will big it up as a "massive grudge match", North and the AFL media will encourage every North fan to attend. 12000 people will attend and we'll see North fans posting "lol poort tarps" in every thread for the next 5 years, or the rest of North's existence.

And we'll be fitted up as some type of Darth Vader figure despite Victorian clubs pulling off moves like this every year and the fact that there's two clubs that literally exist to funnel talent to the Victorian clubs.

You'd think we should be playing in Adelaide in round 1, it is surely our time for a home opener.

Say round 2 is away. Then we'd likely play round 3 at home, with the magic round in end 5. We also likely have a showdown in there somewhere, say that's round 4 as maybe an away game. Then we would likely play at home in round 6.

So given all that, it would not be impossible for us to end up with a draw where we play 5 of the first 6 games at home.

 

[Capital Power]

I hope we don't finish up with a soft fixture early, it'll just encourage the board to jump the gun on an extension .

Yep. It's scary for sure. Mind you it's not like our home record is really that flash anyway.

We are definitely due, 2018 was the last time. A bit ridiculous.

I can smell fear of winning games already and it’s only November

I was told that the crows number 1 fixture request is to play home in round 1. Might explain it

It used to be to play an away game over easter.

I personally don't care where we play round 1, so happy for them to have it, provided that allows us to have something we want (like Anzac, as others mentioned).

 

[Coobk001]

Playing at home in the final round is a big bonus, but never having a home opener, and also the negative momentum that can build from a round 1 loss, are huge reasons for not letting that continue.

Playing Brisbane in rnd 1 last yr had a massive effect on the start of our season.

Wasn't that the "if we play like that we'll win more than we lose" game? (after which we ended up going 0-5 and finishing in 11th place with a losing record)
