Re: Next year's draw worries Cats
Extremely disappointed with this draw, extremely disappointed.
This year i do not care who we play, I know we have a team good enough to beat whoever we come up against.
What I am disappointed with is the allocation of home and away games. Given that we played in something like 4/6 biggest drawing games of 2007, with no reason to see why it wouldnt grow last year, why do we not get the right to play collingwood / essendon twice? Why do we have 6 friday night games, all away? Why do we have no home games at the MCG? Considering geelong made a 700k profit off our 1 H&A game against collingwood last year, as premiers we deserve that chance again. How much money did we make the AFL in finals attendances compared to teams like North Melbourne and Hawthorn?
EXTREMELY diappointed!
On a personal note, I am also annoyed to see how many saturday day games we play. To me, AFL should not be having saturday day matches, except for the grand final, due to its clashes with club football. The AFL goes on and on about nurturing grass roots football, yet now if I go and play I will miss watching 1/3 of Geelongs games. This is ridiculous. At least all club competitions have finished by GF day, so its great to have that on a saturday. Saturdays should not be used for AFL footy, so that club football can get more people playing and attending those matches.
I am really pissed off actually!
