5 of our double ups are pretty tough. Do dislike having all our double ups out of the way before we've played at least each team once.

double up games against pies, giants, port, cats, tigers and roos

That's not too bad at all. I'd fancy us against most of those teams.

Seems like a pretty good draw. Commercially strong with the prime time slots. A fairly 'soft' start to get the season underway, and then only have to travel once in the last seven rounds.

I actually love our fixture, heaps of big games early and in the middle of the year. People worried about our double up games shouldn’t be, those mobs should be worried they have double up games against us!!

Yeah it's strange we don't play West Coast, St. Kilda and Hawthorn at all until the last 3 rounds.

Distorts the ladder a bit if 1 or 2 of them are particularly strong or weak. Hopefully they are all limping to the finish line, enabling us to manage players as required.

Not a bad result. Geelong, Richmond and North twice. Suspect all will be bottom 6. Pies, Port, GWS our other double up matches. Having to play 3 top 6 teams twice not ideal but we match up well to Pies and Port probably most likely to drop out of the 8.

Only have to play Brisbane once. Only one trip to Adelaide and its Port who aren't as formidable at home as Adelaide. Don't have to play Goldcoast at home. We always struggle with that for some reason, and they will be better next year. Two trips to Sydney but we normally do okay there (better then Adelaide at least).

Relatively easy start against Lions, Freo, North, Richmond though it gets harder after that so we can't really afford to drop any of the latter 3 games.

Lots of primetime too.

Ultimately, to be the best you have to beat the best


we will be ready for finals by the time we get there cause we would have played all of the good sides either a couple times or interstate


Bring it on. Champion mindset needed

I'll be interested to see how the fantasy comps cope with the opening round only featuring 8 teams.

I assume it would have to be unlimited trades to totally adjust your team for round 1 (2 really FFS).

No one - no one - think about these comps at the AFL

It'll be a bit of a nightmare. My guess is best 12 or something ridiculous in round 0 and then best 18 for all the extra bye rounds.

The unlimited trade thing wouldn't work because then you could theoretically pick a whole team of players playing in round 0, then swap then all out for round 1.

11 Home games 12 Away games....WTF

 

[juzza316]

Can't see us losing a game tbh

 

[Rustica]

Why do Freo get another home game in Gather Round? Should have been our home game this year

 

[Bletch]

Rd 0 - Brisbane (away) - tough. Brions didn't lose a game there this year, should be strong there again next year.
Rd 1 - Richmond (h - G). 6 day break, but Tigs on a 5-day break. Should win and win well.
Rd 2 - BYE.
Rd 3 - Norf (a - M). Expect Norf to be up and about early, as they were this year. No gimme, but again should win well.
Rd 4 - Freo (Adelaide). Our first win at Adelaide Oval? No reason why not.
Rd 5 - Adelaide (h - M). A bogey side of late, but we should be in a good position to win this at home.
Rd 6 - GWS (h - M). Another home game vs interstate side. Should go in faves.
Rd 7 - Geelong (a - G). Third Sat match in a row, this time at the G. Again should be favourites.
Rd 8 - Collingwood (h - G). Really poor scheduling for a marquee match. Pies get an 8-day break for it, to our 6. Tough proposition.
Rd 9 - Melbourne (h - G). Another 6-day break, but Dees on a 5-day break should give us the advantage.
Rd 10 - Sydney (a). 8-day break for an interstate trip is handy. Swans should be there and about again next year. Even money.
Rd 11 - Suns (h - M). Third interstate side at Marvel. Should win.
Rd 12 - Port (a). Again, shocking scheduling. 5-day turnaround for an interstate trip. At least Port on 5 days as well. Tough.
Rd 13 - * (a - G). And now a 10-day break! Should bury these pretenders.
Rd 14 - BYE.
Rd 15 - Geelong (h - G). Cats for a second time at the G. Both teams coming off the bye, and them notoriously bad at it. Win.
-- no dates yet --
Rd 16 - Richmond (a - G). Win
Rd 17 - GWS (a). Tough.
Rd 18 - Bulldogs (a - M) Favoured.
Rd 19 - Norf (h - M) Win
Rd 20 - Port (h - M) Win
Rd 21 - Pies (a - G) Tough
Rd 22 - Hawks (h - G) Win
Rd 23 - Weagles (a) Win
Rd 24 - Saints (h - M) Favoured.

Norf ? Lol

This is the best draw we have had in years
Love it

Always find it funny trying to assess the fixture the year prior, without knowing the improvers and the sliders.

Nonetheless, we've received a pretty good fixture here. Very good, even.

The most Thursday/ Friday night games of any other team - this is awesome.

Six away games, with 1 being the Gather Round and the other being opening round, an accompanying bye shortly after. Effectively only five interstate games with GR removed.

Rounds 5-10 are going to be bloody tough but arguably the perfect part of the season to to have a stretch like this. Crows, Giants, Cats, Collingwood, Melbourne, Sydney. At least the first five games in the stretch are all in Melbourne.

Nine of the last thirteen games in the year are against bottom-eight sides this year (could be both a good and a bad thing).

Overall, I'm very happy with what we've got here.

Go baggers!

 

[Juice030103]

North and Richmond twice compensate for the other double ups imo


I wanna play the best teams. No point having it easy during home and away and then be in for a rude awakening in September (Ala Port last season)

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Big deal - moved Friday night a whole 10mins earlier ?????

Start at 7:20pm - even 7pm to be honest.

The AFL have a policy that you can't host a home game at a ground you've never won at

 

[Juddrockz]

Apparently we have 8 Thursday/Friday night games in the 1st 15 rounds.

Yeah i reckon we're in for quite a Thursday night games,unfortunately.
I don't like them at all. The only Thursday night game i have ever liked was to open the season.
