Fixture 2023 fixture

[briztoon]

No one was expecting WCE to literally drop off a cliff though, so it was just luck that they got both bottom teams as double ups (North would’ve been their “easy” one)

Erm…

Nah, I did a forum search.

Also, I don't have enough space on my phone with all the videos and photos of our daughter.

I feel you. My phone is full of dog pics

You and Nunez have a daughter?! Mind blown

Round 5 confirmed (I refuse to use the other name they have given it )

No doubt it will count as a Melbourne game for our southern supporters.

So I guess both of the Adelaide teams get 12 home games this year?

Yeah that's a strange one. When the NRL has magic round the Broncos are always listed as the away team.

 

[Flossie32]

One positive is at least we’re the only afl team playing on that ground. With bad weather you can only imagine what AO will be like by the time Collingwood and St Kilda play there.

Hearing round 3 v Bulldogs at Marvel will be a Friday night

 

[Nathan Barley]

Bullshit we‘re the only game at that shithole

Better get extra MCG games or Friday night games as a trade off

Have a go at this rubbish

Sounds like a few posters on this board

Thought Daniher was great till he did his shoulder. Was a different player for the remainder of the year.

Hipwood worked his way into the season quite nicely. I don't think the progression was ever going to be linear coming back from an ACL.

Only one way to prove the doubters wrong though.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Its an utter joke that one of the best teams in the comp is reduced to playing at this backwater or at least not even playing at Norwood - no idea what that ground is like but at least it holds sanfl footy i guess.

Then to be even further insulting - i think - they call it "gather round" - i probably cant convey or articulately say it right, but the afl's continued attempts at these indigenous related terms / events is in poor taste if you ask me and has an element of mocking their rites

Patronising could be the word you're looking for?

 

[Dalions]

I really hope that both Hippy and Daniher come out and have cracking years.
It’s about time we had a Key Forward kick the most goals for the Lions.
Charlie is great but we need someone else to step up.

But we weren’t number 1.

 

[CarterS]

Does the magic round count as one of Adelaide/Port's home games or is it an extra for them?

 

[Squizz89]

Our ability to score which is a by product of that forward line they’re “worried about” has been the least of ours worries for probably a good 4-5 years now. Think the forward line with the midfield we’ve put together now will be more than adequate.

“Their forward line.. I just don’t like it. I think they’re in trouble…”

Richmond got to their scoring total with 2 games against the Eagles too. Normalise for number of games played against teams that were functional (i.e. not North and West Coast) I think we were pretty clearly the most potent attack.

Other funny part of the interview was the disparaging of a player getting 30-40 goals a year. Some old journalists really need to re-calibrate their idea of what an expected goal tally is of a player who is the 3rd or 4th target when the coleman medalist is kicking less than 70 goals a season.

 

[CarterS]

It will be extra b/c there is still 22 H&A games + this mickey mouse or "gimmick" round.

I guess you could make the argument that Melbourne teams get 16 to 18 home games anyway as often they are the away team at there home ground or playing away at the MCG / Etihad which would be pretty neutral anyway.

I think it should have been a showdown to make the fixture more equal but the AFL showed years ago they aren't really worried about that.

It will essentially be a 12th home game for them. Much as it's a 12th home game for us, looking at the fixture.
