blues draw

[HBF]

Only 3 Sunday games. 5 Friday games, 1 Thursday game, and we only play the previously top 4 finishers once each. Opposition supporters will be spewing!

As long as this is the real deal. Pretty good draw otherwise.

What a bloody fantastic draw. Did i count that right do we have an 8 MCG matches and 7 TD matches?

Isnt that the first times we've had more MCG matches than TD matches in quite a few years?

 

[CarltonFan]

could someone explain to me the logic of playing a Thursday night game thats not on Easter?

It is only 4 home games at the MCG & 6 home games at the Dome.
So we have 1 less home game at the MCG this year

And by the way, I agree with Effes, bit too much arrogance shown here. You never know what happens with injuries, let alone the development of other sides. Would have preferred to have played at least one of Tassie or Geelong twice.

 

[Dorotich]

Not too bad.

Dont like the 2 month block of playing interstate nearly every second week including the Carrara game.

thursday night will be a bitch to get to for those with work on Friday. ffs.

I meant home and away because we're still playing in Melbourne so it isnt as if we're at a disadvantage but anyway having 4 home MCG games is a shame, i cant wait to get out of that bloody TD deal.

As long as they make it a 7:10pm start this time, and not a 6:10pm start like last year.

The AFL have been weilding their big stick again.

It is a shame as I prefer the MCG. The AFL should have made it one less at the Dome in lieu of our home game up at the Gold Coast.

In Demetriou's case HBF, it would be waving his big "Souvlaki"

So pencil in that Friday for leave now. You've got months of notice.

... or just don't get shyte faced on the night.

I'm starting to get a little concerned that posters on this board know me so well.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This draw better be fair dinkum.

And to top it off,
my local football club will announce Robbert Klomp as coach of its under 18s.

Wonder if he still has the TV?

 

[blue gunslinger]

I AM DISAPPOINTED!!!!
But looks a good year

 

[R1KSTA]

about time they've got the carlton vs hawks game right for once.
at the G.

we play the dees once, but not until round 21 why can't we play them twice

 

[Bluebear]

Is Carlton vs. Freo at C on May 9th our Gold Coast Game?

Geez......what a fizzer........the "Warnock vs Freo" blockbuster look set to be a fizzer. I wonder how many will turn out to PP for our first practice match.

Oh well.........maybe they will promote Cousins vs WCE as the big "grudge match".

TV Ratings

So why not do it each week?

I agree. The AFL will now do something stupid like start it at 7.30, so that workers can get there, but kids can't (school night) or vice versa......start at 5.10pm so that kids can go but workers will miss the first Q or so.

Great plan AFL.

Idiots.
