But is it round 1 or round 0 or round -.375?

Actually it's neither, it's called "opening round"

Just call it Rd 1 ffs

 

[GoodesStuff]

Anyone remember what happened the year we last played in the opening game of the season..?

I hope we get a huge crowd in - this is the sort of thing NSW footy needs and we need to take advantage of it.

 

[Millky95]

So we play for a week, have the next week off, then back to normal?

 

[Dangas]

Very early start to the season as well. Hopefully we can pull a crowd along with the other 3 games.

 

[caesar88]

The VFL and their "opening round" nonsense can go **** themselves. This is round 1 and we are opening it.

Awful time to get it, Thursday in Sydney is VERY hard. I get why they have done this but surely a Friday start would be better

 

[sataris]

Is this a prequel?

 

[SwansProudly]

Please Sydney PR - migraine sufferers hate the flashing gifs

How do I let everyone in NSW know we don't understand the market without saying so...

 

[The King!]

this split concept is *en stupid imo

I'll be dead struggling to do thursdays start work at 7am the next day unfortunately. I understand some love thursdays though so you'll never please everyone it's impossible, more than likely watch it at home so i can get to bed right away after.

Aren't you working from home? Surely you can finagle one day out of office on the Friday?

I always email what time suits me to the afl fixture crew in the middle of the year.

Hey guys Thursday round 12 my daughter has a play so don't put Sydney on there or I am going to a run on the saturday in may so can Sydney play friday night please.

They just jot them down and work around me

So afraid of offending Vic sensibilities by not having the opening round in Vic. Pathetic.

Not anymore, changed positions lately. No chance of being out of the office before 6 it's impossible, took a more senior position on for family reasons. Allows me to have my weekends completely free but I need to be there during the week unfortunately lol

Does it work LOL, na on a serious note any of the Friday to Sunday times are fine. Personally love Saturday afternoon as the time.

 

[robbieando]

Perfect timing for me. Allows me to extend my trip to NZ by a couple of day and return via Sydney for the match.

 

[MF]

I normally hate when we play Thursday nights but if it means there's waiting until I finally watch us play again then I'm happy.
