Discussion Remaining Fixture

[bird_man]

Noosa is where they live now
After Adelaide they’ll fly back and will be free to roam around then fly back to Adelaide on the day . Do the AFL provide a direct flight ? How longs the flight ?
No chance of beating port .

If that's the way it's going to work than it's pretty poor scheduling from the AFL.

Only way it made sense to me is if we were staying in between

Weren't Port and Crows in Queensland for a month, and now we get to Queensland but we have to play both of them now they've returned to SA? How bloody backwards is that! Why not send us to SA for a few weeks first instead of damn Noosa??

SA wouldn’t quarantine us there. We’re only allowed there after doing our penance in Noosa for two weeks first. Hopefully we’ll stay in Adelaide though for both games.

 

[Diehard Saint]

A win against port Adelaide would be the biggest our clubs had in a number of years. I have no confidence in that tho lol.

How about we try and beat the Crows first?

That’s the plan

 

[Diehard Saint]

At least Ryder is on our side this time.

Hope he’s practising the tap to Grey move with Gresh or someone...

 

[pebblesofsand]

Would have preferred our Free to Air was against the Crows but Saturday night in front of the box against the Power will have to do.

With how Gresh has been kicking at goal lately, hopefully it's more with Butler or who would have ever thought, Billings.

 

[Brains Trust66]

It’s no shock that somehow we end up playing Port in Adelaide yet again . I was pretty sure that would be the case as soon as they started messing around with the fixture . Of course it’s a hard situation given they can’t play in Victoria I know but still it pisses me off yet again .
Then again if we can beat both SA teams then it’s worth it lol. Winning hides all sorts of issues .

We lost our right to complain about fixturing when we couldn’t put Freo away despite leading by 6 goals at qt.

What does losing to Fredo have to do with being scheduled two trips in Adelaide within 5 days, which includes a 2h 45min flight each way?

 

[puppy_dog7]

Not only do we once again play Port in Adelaide, but they’ll be allowed 25k fans into the Adelaide Oval. There will literally be no stkilda support whatsoever. Not good for a team that is already very mentally weak

Are we not staying in Adelaide for the five days? Pretty ridiculous if they go back to Noosa in between

Nothing at all. Just saying if we can’t beat a team like “Fredo” after leading by 6 goals (not to mention what happened against Norf who are even worse) then it really doesn’t matter a toss what they do to us fixture wise, our season is doomed regardless.

Adelaide - Away
Brisbane
Carlton - Away
Collingwood - Away
Essendon
Fremantle - Away
Geelong
GC
GWS
Hawthorn
Melbourne
North Melbourne - Away
Port Adelaide - Away
Richmond - Home
Sydney
West Coast
Western Bulldogs - Home


I think we end up playing 9 'away' games.

I assume we will play Essendon in Adelaide also? Seems the logical move for it to be our 'home' game.

We will play West Coast in Perth for sure. I think we will play one of Sydney/GWS in Sydney.

Guessing at the remaining games, with no idea of sequence:


Brisbane - 'Home' @ Metricon
Essendon - 'Home' @ Adelaide Oval
Geelong - 'Away' @ ???
GC - 'Home' @ Giants Stadium
GWS - 'Away' @ Giants Stadium
Hawthorn - 'Home' @ ???
Melbourne - 'Home' @ ???
Sydney - 'Home' @ Metricon
West Coast - 'Away' @ Optus Stadium

I've left a couple of the Vic v Vic games blank as I believe the AFL will try to delay these as much as possible to try and play them back in Melbourne.

It shows that you are a flaky afterthought team. Not worthy of premium fixturering or TV eyes on you. You get stuck off-Broadway when you shame yourselves in public.

Don't let the truth get in the road of a good melt Brut

 

[lewdogs]

In terms of exposure, as much as it was an awful loss the AFL would have loved our Freo game. Was an exciting game and close finish.

In terms of fixture fairness this season is a write off. They are just trying to get through it as best they can.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Any word on tickets for SA members
Ive recieved nothing and want to go to the power game but not the crows game

Can we even go???

From what I have read from other clubs in NSW/QLD, you should get an email sometime this week with a link to buy tickets.

Email the club maybe? This might be harder seeing as they'll easily be able to fill the 30k allocation with Crows or Port fans.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Yeah emailing when i get home today
Was just wondering if anyones heard anything

Cheers Speck

Pity the crows games a bloody monday

mom the back of our good form previously. If we serve up shit we get shit fixtures. We all complain but seriously we burn every opportunity we ever get. Like a dole bludger who gets pissed the night before a job interview and sleeps in then complains about how the system is stacked against us.

Reckon we might get West Coast as a ‘home’ game and may head to Tassie as an away team vs. Hawthorn if they get the nod to play games there

That would be West Coast, at Optus, with 60,000 WCE fans in the stands, as a "home" game, yes?
