Fixture 2023 Fixture

[Ports1870]

Still haven't played GWS in Sydney since 2013 and now won't until at least 2024. Haven't even played them in Canberra since 2017.

Think we were supposed to play them in Sydney in 2021 but got moved to Marvel due to Covid

Tough draw.

I have us starting as favourites 7 times, underdogs 11 times with 5 x 50/50 games.

Making finals from there would be tough. Making top 4 very, very tough.

Good thing the trigger for another 4 years is 8th

Have we upped expectations finally? I thought the trigger for another 4 years was Donuts showing up to work at least once this pre season

We haven’t even played a game in NSW since Round 2, 2018.

yer, we were - lost it to the hub and it was strange we didn’t have a nsw game in 2022 (seemed like Port playEd everywhere else this year).

For this long suffering Sydney-based Port fan, I’m pretty happy to see a game at the SCG. my Sydney-based 8 year old nephew needs an education….

Norf flogs in the JHF death riding thread on their board would be like. “Top 10 pick here it comes”

 

[TeeKray]

Marmozet time for another trip to Perth I reckon, we can't keep losing there forever.

 

[raptalia]

This time last year I would not have had Fremantle, Collingwood or even Sydney as certainties for the eight yet they made it and the latter two made the top four. Our draw looks tough and once again we start the year with some hard games but hopefully it will not be another 0-5 start. Important that we get away to a good start by beating Brisbane at Adelaide.

How can any organisation anywhere in world sport countenance a draw where a team does not meet two of it's rivals until rounds 22 & 23 in a 24 round competition yet plays the previous season's Premiers twice in seven weeks? I guess the answer is simple- brand itself the AFL.

 

[Saltiga]

I'm happy with the draw. Better for our finances and sponsors if we player the bigger Vic clubs more often.

As others have mentioned, who would've picked Collingwood to do what they did last year hence its possible our draw might turn out to be softer after 1 or 2 or 3 expected top 8 teams misfire and don't make the 8.

I won't miss a game where snow is expected

Much prefer to go to a Port/Bulldogs game at AO than Arctic park at Ballarat.

Still, I’ll always have a soft spot for my old home town

Why? They beat us here, we beat them in Ballarat.

Why? They beat us here, we beat them in Ballarat.

Just from a weather perspective. The last time I saw Port play at Ballarat was the coldest I’ve ever felt at a game of footy and by a big margin too.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It was literally zero degrees during that game. And raining. I was sinking into the outer, could not feel my hands or feet.

Adelaide Oval has seagulls, Ballarat has penguins.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

 

[GremioPower]

Double ups are Adelaide, Bulldogs, Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong, Essendon.

Same. Ridiculously cold.

'Should send this lot back so they can have another go': Former premier blasts 'crap' AFL fixture

The AFL's decision to schedule a series of eight potentially low-drawing matches for Tasmania in 2023 has been described as "crap" by a former premier, as talks over the state's own licence drag on.

www.abc.net.au

I would have thought that the Tasmanian Government and the former Liberal Premier have a bigger problem selling a $750 million stadium to the electorate than worrying about a draw in which a Tasmanian team isn't yet directly involved. At the last ask 67% of the Tasmanian electorate and Gutwein's own party in the form of the Federal Liberal Party were not in favour of the proposed $750 million stadium.

 

[Buget]

Carlton away, Collingwood at home, Home showdown into Geelong away.

That’s a though month of footy. Especially if all teams play as expected.

 

[Buget]

I think I am going to target round 2 v Collingwood to head to Melbourne.

I have a junior Port Adelaide supporter arriving in May, so options are limited. Can’t stand Collingwood supporters, but I’ll fly my mum across and make a day of it.

Fun Fact. 3 of the top 12 highest attended AFL games in Launceston were between St Kilda and Port.
