great fixture!

[jonesy86]

15 MCG games, 10 night games (6 fri, 4 sat), probably 3 TD games and 4 interstate (including 1 sydney and at least 1 adelaide)

play essendon, carlton, richmond, melbourne and sydney twice

all sounds good so far

 

[bobby_diggy]

Would have been a while that we play Sydney & Melbourne twice, when is the draw released? Does this mean the end of the Queens Birthday match?

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Night games suck balls. Especially Saturday Nights.

Grrr

we stay have the stand alone game in sydney and the queens b'day game...this is the first year where the teams you play twice aren't necessarily the first 7 teams you play

Grrr

Why?

You have a strict bedtime?

 

[DidaksLeftFoot]

As long as Saturday afternoon home games are limited... I'm loving it. Stupid Saturday work!

Very happy we're back on Friday nights.

Saturday nights are ideal too.

 

[Jabso]

I HATE Sunday games. That is my last minute study day. Also when you lose you carry it over into Monday, and if you win you don't have the next day to soak it up.

 

[jonesy86]

yeah i agree 100%....sunday afternoon games are the worst

 

[CarnthePies]

I didn't like them on 9 because they had first half highlights for the second game. Maybe on 7 it'll be better. But I wouldn't bank on it.

Hold On! Schedule is being redone now and wont be out until next Monday.
Original Schedule had the pies not leaving Melboune after round 12.

New one to be announced on Monday now has you playing Fremantle twice-I think at Subiaco round 20 or 21.

This was the first schedule.

[Lonie_from_50]

Like the 15 games at the G. Pure home ground advantage.

Much mixed up fixture considering rounds 1-7 don't come into play with rounds 16-22. About time we played 2 games a season against the Dees and Swans.

I like the fact we play two games at Subi. We can show them we can play there. Can also show them we play 5 interstate games, in 4 different states!

 

[MarkT]

I thought we had an 18 game MCG deal and I though QB was locked in and meant only 1 game v Melb.

Why?

You have a strict bedtime?

My 1 and 3 year old do so it’s hard for me to attend with my wife. I also prefer day games.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I thought we had an 18 game MCG deal and I though QB was locked in and meant only 1 game v Melb.

It is locked in, but in the new system, it's not just the teams you play in the first 7 weeks of the season that you play twice.

My 1 and 3 year old do so it’s hard for me to attend with my wife. I also prefer day games.

What's she doing out of the kitchen anyways?

 

[Magik]

Could you imagine the uproar from non Collingwood supporters if we didn't travel after Rd 12???

I'm a bit confused. You say you THINK we play at Subi either R20 or 21 and then produce a list......

where did this fixture come from then?

 

[DarrenM]

Collingwood has to play two games at subi, because they played the eagles and dockers down here the last time they played. If they only have to travel to subi once again then there will be people saying Collingwood got favoured by the draw.

 

[Pemby]

Good fixture! Eddie must have cut a deal with the AFL trying to keep Collingwood flying the flag for Victoria.

 

[Bay Pie]

Saturday night games are poo as I live in QLD and only get the Lions games as they play most of their games on saturday nights.

I did enjoy some of the shellackings they got though after the grief they caused me in '02 & '03.

Sundays are also Poo as previous writers have said.

Friday nights or Saturday arvo' are best.

 

[Jabso]

It is about time we got a good fixture.
Year after year after year the AFL has been trying to screw us.
