News Fixture Discussion

[00Stinger]

Only 1 of those players you listed has actually had a massive impact, so not a big loss for us. Besides, our club isn't revolved around those players, so get over it.

You right it revolves around Vossy and boy oh boy does he know it!

Good test first up.

However, I'd be more keen to find out how many times we play the Suns/GWS.

i just want GWS twice.

 

[Mijhaa]

i just want GWS twice.

Looks like you have got your wish!

MELBOURNE and North Melbourne have won the AFL fixture lottery after being handed two matches against Greater Western Sydney next year.

They are the only Victorian clubs to double up against the likely easybeats.

[Canary]

Let's hope for an aggregate point differential of >200

Also, GWS playing Geelong at Skilled. Time for our record to be broken, perhaps?

Very good news about GWS, sounds like one of our games versus them will be after Darwin from my reckoning.

 

[Franky_024]

Interesting to note the collywobbles don't travel to Perth.... again

 

[Samsara]

syl, I just read your signature and that is pure gold!

How do you figure that?

All they say about us is that both of our games against GWS are in the 2nd half of the season. We usually play the Darwin game mid-late season, fair guess you're right but just roughly a 1 in 6 chance, or did I miss something?

 

[guitarded]

The AFL fixture is the biggest joke of all time.

It's a disgrace to the game - makes our sport a laughing stock.

Sure is d16. Sure is.

 

[Crimson Azure]

I hope we get Gold Coast twice too.

 

[Samsara]

I hope we get Gold Coast twice too.

Apparently no team will play both GC and GWS twice. The best you can hope for is 2 GWS and 1 GC game, which MFC have.

Would be nice to play Port twice too, but there is not happening if the Herald Sun article today is accurate. Playing Port @ G would much better (except for financially) than playing in Darwin.

 

[Tulip]

Beauty we play GWS twice. Might go to both depending on fixturing

 

[On the bench]

Hope we play the Suns up on the Gold Coast during the middle of winter,good reason to escape our winter for a few days!

Also good for A) chance for an away/interstate win & B) a low drawing interstate team we don't have to play at home

Yep the real danger is Luke power he was very good against us last year.

They travelled there this year?

Chalk in a few games...

Round 1 V Brisbane
Two games V GWS
One game at Darwin V Port
Queen's Birthday V Collingwood
186 redemption match V Geelong at Skilled (don't know for sure but willing to bet the house on it)

Hopefully we don't play Adelaide in Adelaide... looks likely though

 

[Blackas87]

So was Mitch Clark, we better watch out for him

 

[slimdusty4]

Dunno how you managed that one, after a getting port and GC twice last year, your going to get GWS twice, port once, and Brisbane/gold coast twice this year.
We missed out on GC twice last year, and Gws twice this year. No equality.

You had better make finals.

But yet you managed to lose to both Port and the Gold Coast... maybe look at it as a way of minimizing the embarrassment for Richmond?*





*yes, we lost to Port too... at least it was in Adelaide.

It's all political; maybe someone at Richmond rubbed Andy up the wrong way??

Mark your calendars for round 13!

THE Tom Scully v Melbourne showdown has been pencilled in for Round 13 in the AFL's draft fixture. And Demons fans will not have to travel far for the grudge match, with the club's first meeting against Greater Western Sydney scheduled for Melbourne.

 

[Flyswatter]

the GWS team list on the Thursday prior better not say

OUT: Scully (general soreness)

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

OUT: Scully (knee)

Efa.

For his sake I hope not but it seems like it might be something he will need to manage for his career

Injuries are cruel.

He's still a jerk though.

Assuming Rd12 is Queen's Birthday (I haven't counted) I'll barely have recovered!

 

[CM Sean]

Round 12 we have a bye according to the article. :S
