Fixture 2024 Fixture

[doggiesin08]

It’ll be interesting to see what we do this year, I’d hope our internal review identified that we made a big mistake last year.

2022: Josh Schache lining up on the wing against Ed Langdon

2023: 4-Headed-Monster feat. Lobb needing ankle surgery

What tactical curve ball will we throw at Melbourne to start our year in 2024?

 

[dergert]

Equalisation.

 

[Pugz89]

Cats double up confirmed. Gather Round is our home game.

Double ups are -
GWS
Melbourne
Cats
Freo
Swans
North

 

[doggies ftw]

Equalisation.

We can’t complain we’ve been kissed on the dick with prime time recently and we’ve put out one of the ugliest styles of footy in the league

 

[Sentinel]

Cats double up confirmed. Gather Round is our home game.

Double ups are -
GWS
Melbourne
Cats
Freo
Swans
North

Do we know for sure that our 2nd game against Geelong is in Geelong? I expect it would be based on the fact we go there every year, but last year GWS was the designated home team against Hawthorn in Gather Round and they also hosted them in Sydney later in the year. Like GWS-Hawks in 2023, we could get two 'home' games against Geelong in 2023 (one being a real home, one being a Gather Round home).

Cats double up confirmed. Gather Round is our home game.

Double ups are -
GWS
Melbourne
Cats
Freo
Swans

Those double ups are great to be honest, ****ing can’t believe we copped GMHBA though unreal

Yep it is

Sunday 1:10pm vs Dees.
Away game.
Round 1.

Love it for me, home at a decent time, but don’t love it for the club.

 

[doggies ftw]

Last game of the season in Ballarat is a kick in the guts for fans, bring back WO

 

[Pugz89]

Rd 1 @ Dees (MCG) Sun 1pm
Rd 2 v Suns @ Mars Sun 1pm
Rd 3 v WCE Sun 1pm

Three trips to AO, then one to Giants Stadium, SCG, Optus Stadium and then GMHBA, if you can even call that a proper away game.

 

[Sentinel]

So in summary:

• Double ups vs GWS, Melbourne, Geelong, Fremantle, Sydney, North
• Ballarat games vs GC and Giants
• Interstate games against Freo, GWS, Port, Sydney, Adelaide (and Geelong, means 3(!) trips to Adelaide). No trip to Tassie or QLD.
• 2 MCG games against Melb and Rich
• An away Marvel game vs Coll
• 12 games total at Marvel (away there vs Coll, StK, North)
• 2 Thursday, 3 Friday, 5 Saturday, 4 Sunday games excl floating fixture games
• 1 confirmed 5 day break (between rd 10 & 11)
• A bye in round 15

That back end of the season scares me

 

[WAbulldog]

Unsurprisingly we have to play Geelong in alphabetical stadium.

 

[Libbaaaa]

No game in QLD for the second year running is bizarre. At first glance a zero excuses draw, especially the start of the year. Rounds 16 through to 21 is tough, but you prefer playing quality heading into a potential finals campaign.

Shame the away game v. Collingwood isn't at the G.

 

[Del203211]

First 3 games are Sunday 1pm..

That’s what you get after a poor season I guess!

 

[BallaratBulldog]

1pm isn’t bad.

4.40 is the dogshit one

 

[Chicago1]

So if my friends take me to our Round 3 game against West Coast at Marvel, that'll be a guaranteed win like this year?


Crap... that's Easter Sunday.

Carlton finish 9th and are kissed on the dick, we finish 9th and get ripped…

 

[Golden_6]

Realistically those are great games to attend as a supporter unless you have kids footy. Obviously not on FTA but you're home by 5pm and not well after dinner like the other timeslots.

 

[Golden_6]

Finally some common sense to play the Ballarat games at either end of the season and not in July.

 

[Golden_6]

We have a good chance at setting up our season in first 9 weeks. A good chance we'll be favourites in every game except round 1.

We're also notoriously poor starters so that's also a worry.

 

[Struggle]

Not too bad of a fixture
Managed to avoid double ups against the prelim teams
Only one trip to Perth
Only major negatives are only 2 mcg games and wasting a home ground advantage in Ballarat again

As BallaratBulldog said, 1pm isn't bad travelling from Western Vic. Not great for prime time exposure for the club, but personally for my tribe, it works.

We're also notoriously poor starters so that's also a worry.

And we'll need every single win from those first 9 games, couple of brutal patches:

Rd 10 @ GWS (GIANTS Stadium) Sat 4.35pm
Rd 11 v Swans Thurs 7.20pm (5 day break)
Rd 12 @ Coll (MARVEL) Fri 7.50pm
Rd 13 v Bris Fri 7.50pm

and

Rd 17 @ Port (AO)
Rd 18 v Carlton
Rd 19 @ Geelong (GMHBA)
Rd 20 @ Swans (SCG)
Rd 21 v Dees
Rd 22 @ Crows (AO)

Need to beat GWS here this time. If 2 x KPDs stay on the park and Lobb doesn't get shifted back, we're a chance!

Edit: by here, I mean Ballarat btw.
