Draw news

This article reveals about our draw this year.

http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/judd-v-eagles-round-seven/2007/10/23/1192941065459.html

Looks like we will play Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon in the first 3 rounds which should give us a chance to get some early wins. We will play the Eagles in WA in round 7 and we will likely only have 4 interstate trips.

The Perth road trip is understood to be one of just four interstate matches the Blues will play next year.

This is in contrast to the Western Bulldogs, who it is understood will next year play outside the state seven times.

That's a dream draw.

Thanks Dick.

I really want to play the Weagles in Melbourne. Hasn't happened for many years.

 

[Artie Bucco]

Could be a good start to the season for us

Some decent crowds there aswell

I've never seen the great man play live before, so hopefully, we play them again, later on

That's a dream draw.

My thoughts exactly!

Well it's about time we got something fair... I got foxtel because so many of our games were not of FTA it was a necessity... by the sound of the current draw in the first 7 rounds next season we'll probably already equal our FTA coverage that we got this season.

It's a good sign when the TV networks are happy with Carlton getting Friday night footy again... thanks Pratt, Swann, Judd and co.

If this is the trade off four onl;y going interstate 4 times then I'm happy with that.........but you're right. I was thinking WE would see the WCE - blues game in Melbourne.

Maybe they will wait until we are beating them, and then we get 4-5 times here in a row........that'd be nice.

We played 6 times interstate this year so 4 is good. I can't remember the last time we played the eagles in melbourne.

 

[Scruff83]

Slight dissapointed were playing WC over there, should make for a good Friday night in front of the telly tho. Someone on the main board reckons were playing Collingwood Friday night round two, be sweet if thats the case, 80k for sure.

Definite possiblity we could 3-0 by the end of round three!

It was in 2004, 1AW's famous blinder of a debut -how could you forget?!?!

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

Wow, im heaps happy with that. Also we're always a chance to win the big rivalry games so we could get off to a very good start. Should beat Richmond round 1, and are almost certainties to beat Essendon lol

Oh yeah, at Optus Oval. The last 3 years we've played them at Subiaco. It isn't really fair to play them 4 times over there in 4 years. I guess it's because of all the Perth members we've got.

We've only got Judd v Carlton in Melbourne twice in his illustrious career.

11 Brownlow Votes against us in 6 games isn't bad....

[BlueBelle]

Does anybody know when the 2008 Fixture is released?

 

[HBF]

I've also heard that we only play Hawthorn once, and that is in r.22

1AW's spectacular debut match? Happy with what we know about our draw so far - although R1 twilight match means no FTA coverage to begin the season.

Not based in Melbourne mate?
This will be a massive game. Expect 90,000 to see Judd debut.

Tomorrow or Friday.

The AFL is making a stupid decision if they don't change it to Thursday night, instead of twilight. Alot of people will probably decide against going, considering Thursday isn't a public holiday and a lot of people don't knock off work til 5:30-6.00.

Twilight - 50,000-60,000
Night - Anywhere between 60,000 and 90,000.

Do it up, Vlad!
