Round 1

[dominguez]

Is the fixture finalised in early November?

Just after trade week, mid/late October.

I don't think St Kilda v Freo at Etihad would draw a bigger crowd than at Subi.

I would've thought so as well.

I don't think St Kilda v Freo at Etihad would draw a bigger crowd than at Subi.

True, but it's likely to get 35-40k at Subi later in the year as well. 30-35k if we're going shit.

St Kilda would struggle to get 20k to the same fixture in Melbourne if they were out of contention. Hell, they could only get 26k on a Friday night when in contention.

 

[Moo]

Cool bring it on.

First round away - fantastic
Get the St K game out the way early - Cool
Hit St K without Goddard and with a new coach/gameplan too - Yeah baby

What's not to like.

Lyon knows all the weaknesses of the Aints .....bring it on.

 

[Patty_Moz]

I get the feeling that this really won't be a shootout of a game. As long as we win I'm happy. Hopefully the fixture means we get more games at home at the business end of the season.

Have I missed something? Why would Goddard miss? (Glad to hear it though, he murders us, at least pre Lyon days he did).

You can add Lenny, first AFL game back coming off a reco - hopefully 1/2 yard off the pace.

 

[dominguez]

A Friday night game would be awesome, the travelling WA side should really get a Friday night game week one anyway to get an 8 day break.

We should make this game the Bigfooty Purple Horde Tour Of Duty away game. I'll handle ticketing and ensure Bushie, GJ, Memories and Junglemuffin sit together.

 

[melbournedocker]

Agree with those of you in the 'bring it on' category for the game to be played in Melbourne (Yes I know my user name gives my reasons away).

A Friday night game with a real focus on our club is extremely rare. What a great opportunity to demonstrate spirit and resilience as a club.

Ahh..... just because our coach is gone it doesn t mean we suddenly forget the reason why we ve beaten you the last eight times.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Also doesn't mean that said coach knows exactly how you've beaten us the last eight times and knows what to do to rectify that...

Just sayin'
