You guys are not going to be happy with Jordon gets 35 disposals and 3 goals in the "opening round"

Would be crazy to playing him away from his natural position: The medical-sub.

 

[Lord Nev]

2 games in a row in Adelaide...

You get me wrong, those were his figures coming on a few minutes into the 4th quarter

 

[booshboy]

Coll
Brisbane
Bulldogs
WCE
Freo
Port

The teams we play twice. I feel like having our extra bye in round 6 is a huge win.

Should get some votes in the J.J. Liston Trophy then!

 

[Bluelegs]

2 games in a row in Adelaide...

Off a 5 day break too. Thinking we'll spend the week there.

 

[Bluelegs]

Two trips to Perth, Adelaide, and Queensland. Plus one trip to Sydney along with our self-imposed trip to Alice Springs.

On the plus side no games in Geelong or Tassie.

 

[00Stinger]

Opening round and round 1?

The AFL are run by a bunch of *******s who think they are smart by trying to make new things up

Means the traditional season opener between Richmond and Carlton can be preserved

The sad thing is I'm sure you are right

Cannot wait until they start the season of with Round -1

 

[Daemon]

Two trips to Perth, Adelaide, and Queensland. Plus one trip to Sydney along with our self-imposed trip to Alice Springs.

On the plus side no games in Geelong or Tassie.

On the minus side no games in Tassie! Enjoy going to watch our yearly flogging of the Roos.

 

[Toump Ass]

Having an "Opening Round" while also retaining "Round 1" is one of the dumbest ******* things I've ever seen.

 

[booshboy]

I'm only buying a membership next year so I can barrack for the other teams to beat us.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Two trips to Perth, Adelaide, and Queensland. Plus one trip to Sydney along with our self-imposed trip to Alice Springs.

Good, can we play any finals interstate too please.

 

[Bluelegs]

On the minus side no games in Tassie! Enjoy going to watch our yearly flogging of the Roos.

You mean our yearly s**t the bed for half a game before rolling them in uninspiring fashion

 

[Bluelegs]

Make Gather Round Round 3.5 so we can maintain a traditional 23 round season

Disappointed round 24 isn't called closing round.

 

[Daemon]

So I looked at the fixture and noticed it didn't have broadcasters, which is important for someone like me who lives interstate and doesn't want to pay a fortune for kayo.

Anyway if I'm reading it right based on current free to air broadcasting I've made the following assumptions.
Round 0 - FTA Thurs night
Round 1 - Kayo Sunday 1pm
Round 2 - Kayo Sat Arvo
Round 3 - FTA Sat night
Round 4 - FTA Thurs night
Round 5 - FTA Thurs night
Round 6 - Bye
Round 7 - FTA Wed night (ANZAC Eve)
Round 8 - FTA Sat night
Round 9 - FTA Thurs night
Round 10 - Kayo? Sat night (vs Weagles)
Round 11 - FTA Sun Arvo
Round 12 - Kayo Sun early Arvo
Round 13 - FTA Mon Arvo (QB)
Round 14 - Bye
Round 15 - FTA Sat night

Personally I really like Thursday night games, gets the disappointment over early so my weekend isn't ruined. Very happy with how many we have.

 

[Daemon]

You mean our yearly s**t the bed for half a game before rolling them in uninspiring fashion

Yes that one. Usually the only game I see live. I get really really shitty for 3 quarters wondering why I wasted my time going to that cold hole to watch a bunch of soft losers, and then walk out smug saying we are the best team ever.

 

[Toump Ass]

I love Thursday night footy.

I just prefer if my team isn't in it.

 

[Jamurp]

No game in Geelong is epic, * that place.

 

[ozzy2012]

I don’t think I was born when went last never went to Geelong 1973

 

[Deemanding]

Round 4 is being played on 4/4/2024 at 4:40pm (Perth time). Our Chinese fans won't be happy...
