When does the AFL release the schedule for Rd 23? I thought they gave 6 rounds/weeks notice like the NRL used to.

Last year it was confirmed on July 30.

 

[DonDraper]

They pretty much confirmed that Friday night would be Hawks v Pies last week so I'd say next week they'll announce it.

We're a dead set lock to be Sat twilight I'd suggest. Get an 8 v 6 day break on Freo. It would have been interesting had Fremantle played on the Sat against Brisbane in Rd 22 if we'd have got the Friday night game over in Perth.

Another quote from Trigg;
Link


When he made that statement the Cows were (and still are) in tenth spot on the ladder, so more in the queue at the door of the eight rather than knocking on it. His comment also highlights how the corporation has a culture of mediocrity where almost making the finals is seen as being in good shape.

Just like they were only a kick away from a grand final a couple of years ago. It's the Glenelg mentality

 

[philreich]

Contrast Jeff Kennett's realistic take on Trigg with Nob Chapman's claim that Trigg is an administrator of the highest standard.

And Rowey recently proclaimed Trigg as one of the top four CEO's in the AFL!!!!

Given the tightness of the competition this year, wouldn't they wait an extra week?

Commonsense says yes but TV broadcasters have scheduling demands. Plus people who want to travel have some issues.

Fair enough. Hopefully the AFL looks after our boys with a decent timeslot.

 

[Portopia]

Wouldn't mind seeing the AFL wait to confirm the times and dates of the final 2 rounds instead of just the last round in future seasons.

According to Ferrethead Mark Ricciuto is the new 'kingmaker' of South Australian football and will take over Chapman's position in a couple of years because Chapman isn't part of the selection process.

Maybe, just maybe, Michelangelo, the AFC board knows that if Chapman was involved there would be question marks over whoever was selected, whereas with Roo involved it automatically gives any chosen candidate tacit support through the fan base?

I doubt the AFC gives a rats toss bag about the support of their customers in regards to their selection of a chairman.

This is NOT a ringing endorsement. If I was Twiggy I would have asked him to stop saying that.

The first Malthouse/Triggy sausage sizzle when will it happen?

After every Adelaide coach knowing quickly from the old boys network to toe the party line, the first Malthouse / Triggy argument will be hilarious. Who can picture Triggy standing up to an angry Mick?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's definitely something to salivate over!!!

Yeah, you really need to post links to the articles, mate. Forum rules.

Sorry Mick, here's a 3 year extension.

Wow, Adelaide getting the rub of the green with team selections and injuries

[Seanybruz]

Deledio isn't even playing Freo & he still can't shake Crowley lol.

 

[Dylan8]

What the **** is Crowley wearing

 

[rocket18]

I hope time doesn't heal all wounds in this instance. Trigg should always be remembered by Port Adelaide people for the shit human he is.

Trigg is about the only thing that could unite Port and Crows supporters, we all think he is a shit human being.

Brett Deledio?

It looks like he has been raiding Corey Worthingtons wardrobe.
