What do we want out of the draw, considering in the past two seasons we haven't been given our number 1 request (not to play in WA in the last round). So we're going to get 3 top 8 teams and 3 bottom 8 teams from last year in our group of 7 that we play twice and also Port. I'd like it if:
- We got Kangaroos twice
- Hard teams at homes, weaker teams away
- Brisbane at home
- Port at night again
- Home game to start season (looking likely)
- Freo twice, West Coast once in Adelaide
- Saints twice
- Essendon twice (attempt to finally beat them away)
- Collingwood early (preferably 1st round so we have the opportunity to benefit from the Cloke thing)

How about just a reasonable go?

But that is a pipe dream really, considering Demitriou's (sp?) track record regarding Crows and the draw.

- Round 22 in Perth - twice running.

- Games at Manuka and/or York Park - but none at the MCG.

- No Melbourne side allowed to have a home game at Footy Park where they would make money.

- Wizard Cup semi against Richmond at Colonial - not Footy Park nor even the MCG.

- "Home" semi-final against Melbourne scheduled on Melbourne's home ground.

- Had to play Melbourne at Optus to keep bloody Carlton happy.

What a tremendous track record this guy has in fixturing Crows games - tremendous for every other side that is.

I can't see that tiger changing his biased spots all that quickly, so don't hold your breath on a good deal in the draw.
 
I don't mind a few games at Colonial as we have a pretty good record there.

I don't like the Manuka/York Park games but that's where the non-Melbourne clubs are going to end up at some stage.

Prefer only one trip to Perth.

Don't forget the 5 day break when EVERY team is meant to have atleast a 6-day break. I think we will definitely play Carlton at Optus (as we do every year) because the AFL is making them play all 9 games there this year I think.
 
Play Carlton in Adelaide - No

At AAMI in the first and last rounds - Yes

2 games at the MCG - 50%

No games at Manuka or York Park- Yes

Collingwood, West Coast and Melbourne twice out of the top - 2 out of three

My only complaint is we don't get Carlton twice and that we have to go to Perth twice Sydney and the gabba.
 
So we play Carlton away AGAIN.

We've played Carlton in 17 H&A games - 5 in Adelaide; 12 in Melbourne

I thought the draw was supposed to even things out over a few years.
