Fixture 2024 Fixture

[Pugz89]

No games for us in Darwin or Alice Springs, thank fk.

Two games in Perth it is then.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Two games in Perth it is then.

I'd take that.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Most likely two in QLD as we didn’t go there at all this past season. Knowing the AFL we’ll probably play the Giants in Broken Hill or something.

 

[synchrodogcal]

Does not matter how average cats are and who they have playing, we seem to find ways to stuff it up again and again.
Season 23 was another reminder of that against that mob.

as i understand it, the sole reason matthew egan was brought in is to reverse our pathetic record against the cats

Like Ben Graham, Stephen King and Joel Corey?

[Mr. Walker]

Do you think the Washington Generals fans talk about the Harlem Globetrotters the same way we talk about Geelong?

Disappointing for the town that Melbourne are there again. Son (who lives in Alice Springs avthe moment) was talking to one of the organisers, they were looking forward to Melbourne coming up and giving the town a lift after all the bad news coverage it received. Crowd looking forward to seeing them. Instead they went straight to the airport and flew out, no time for the locals at all. Flew in and out without any interaction.

Doing their best to cement their reputation as first class flogs.

Not that they have to work hard at that.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Probably because they lost that game against GWS and decided to leave asap.

Probably because they lost that game against GWS and decided to leave asap.

They could still have got their a day earlier and organised some fan interaction. The Bulldogs when we played at Darwin every year, put a lot of community work into the week prior. Pity we don’t play there anymore.

I mentioned elsewhere, that in the GWS game, they had a VIP area roped off for any Melbourne supporter who wanted a cheese board and glass of wine, needless to say it was poorly attended, I mean this is Alice Springs, read the room Melbourne.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

The Age saying we’ll play Melbourne at the G on Saturday night, round 1.

They’re also quoting this:

“The Western Bulldogs expect to land a couple of home games at Marvel Stadium against big drawing Victorian clubs Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon, with Carlton now playing in the Good Friday clash against North Melbourne.”

 

[Libbaaaa]

I have Demons fatigue but after they have spanked us two years in a row to start the season what better way for the team to show they are serious.

So three years in a row playing Melbourne at the G in round 1?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

It feels like forever since we had a home round 1. Meanwhile other teams get it yearly.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Why can’t we just host Melbourne at Marvel if they are so keen on us playing them. Would draw about the same anyway. It looks better on TV.

 

[Prince Imperial]

It feels like forever since we had a home round 1. Meanwhile other teams get it yearly.

The only time we have had a home game in round 1 since 2010 against a Vic side was against Collingwood...in 2020...when there was a zero crowd due to Covid. The AFL systemically discriminates against us in the distribution of home games for financial returns.

 

[adogsfan5]

Round 1- Home game at the G sunday v Melbourne on Sunday 3:20.
(Herald sun named us first but could be wrong).

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Sunday? Surely not.

 

[adogsfan5]

Sunday? Surely not.

 

[geoffjennings79]

ABC TV just reported rounds 1-14 will have Thursday night games (ugh), and weekend of 7th March will precede round 1 with 4 games in Sydney and 4 in Brisbane!

 

[CarnTheScray]

don’t mind Sunday since it usually means I can arrive home at a decent time from the MCG.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Melbourne will have already played a game by the time round 1 starts - hardly fair when they will be
a game ahead in preparation.

 

[bobs head soup]

Melbourne playing a proper game before meeting us for our first game must be a huge advantage.

The draw just gets more compromised by the year.

Surely it's not that hard to get everyone kicking off on the same week.

 

[Struggle]

This round 0 is so dumb. Those 8 teams get a second bye at some stage which is a massive advantage at being fresh towards the end of the season
