Don't Perth fans get two games? The duckers in round 8 and Freo and Round 13?
Sorry mate was supposed to be sacarsm, as i clearly got it wrong yesterday, but forgot a :rollyeyesthingy.
Must remember interwebz speak doesn't come out as sarcasm unless emoticons are used :)
Decent value for WA members this year in this case though, as i remember last time we had 2 perth games over here it was around $50 dollars more than this year :thumbsu:
 
Lot of people very happy about the sydney game, a few port supporters down here so should be a decent crowd for that one as well.

I don't mind a nip of port in the winter either.
 
Its a hard Draw but i see it as a draw for very good recognition.... if we play well we should be seeing a members increase....

I'm just emphasizing the over the top positive spin that the club continually places on the website.

We have got a shit draw in 2013. This is a stone cold fact. I don't appreciate being treated like a child.

What are they gonna come out and say?

"We are pretty disappointed with the 2013 fixture, while we have more premium time slots the travel and the quick turn arounds are a slap in the face. Compounded by the fact we have fewer perceived easy beats and making finals will be harder."

That ain't gonna happen. What fence sitters are gonna jump on hearing shite like that?

The fixture isn't great but it isn't the end of the world either.

In round 11 this year we turned a corner, shit changed from the coach to the players it was like the decision to make finals had been made and we actually began clicking into a gear that won us games. Not hard fought 8 point slog fest games, we beat quality sides by decent margins.

I look at next years fixture and I know that we are gonna have some decent wins.

I still think there is still a stain from our last game of 2012 that is still taking some time to remove for most, ^ including myself.

Indeed, here's hoping the put in a punishing pre season and come out ready for roodemption in 2013.
 
Some of the better moments of 2012 came from wins against the bigger clubs with supporters that S U C K big time.

It was great to get emotional and stand up at the Blues game with each of those goals.

Reminded me of the exictement that 1990's footy brought me, and to be honest we havent had much of that the past decade.

Bring on 2013 for that reason alone.

(thats the why the final loss still burns...)
 
Jeeze there's a lot negativity on this thread. The point of following a footy team is to watch them playing against the best teams in front of big crowds. Not to beat a glorified TAC Cup team in front of 16,000 people.

If we're good enough to challenge we'll win games. If not, we'll know soon enough. Love this draw.

How the team who finished 8th cops the hardest or second hardest draw is beyond me. What a flawed process.

With so many tough games against mature teams and the most 6 day breaks of anyone, I hope that trading away and delisting all that depth won't come back to bite us on the arse.

It appears a tough draw now, but we won't really know until half way through next year.
 
Teams you think will be good won't be so good and teams you think will suck will be better. If you're good enough you're good enough. When we get to finals time they're all going to be difficult. We want to be the team that opposition supporters say "Oh no we don't have to play them twice"

Would it be so hard for the afl to release the whole round 1 fixture, seriously why the secret
It's like the Brownow Medal, we only want to watch about an hour and five minutes. An hour dedicated to perving on the footballers wife's and girlfriends on the red carpet and five minutes on finding out who wins the medal.
 
Playing against good sides most weeks is good viewing everything to gain and lots to lose, playing against Gws, GC, Melbourne.... were all nothing games this year... nothing to gain apart from the 4 points of course... i dont care if ive contradicted myself you get what i mean.....
 
Commercially better draw for us but no more x2 easy games. The team is improving and if we keep going in the right direction, we'll be fine next year. The thing is with the draw is that some will get what we got last year, and some will be a bit stiff with travel/6 day breaks. You can't accommodate everyone fairly, it's impossible.
