Prediction Round 23 Fixture Predictions

[Oliver09]

Hopefully Collingwood v Essendon is on Saturday night. We're playing in Perth the previous round on Saturday and we've had our fair share of short breaks between games this season let alone one off the back from a trip to Perth.

What would you suggest as the Friday night game then? Without giving a team a 5-day break?

I think,
Friday 7:50pm Richmond VS Brisbane (7) Blockbuster timeslot - both teams are looking like top 6

Saturday 1:45pm North Melbourne VS Melbourne (F) Both teams will probably miss finals
Saturday 2:10pm Sydney VS St Kilda (F) Again Both teams will probably miss finals
Saturday 4:35pm Gold Coast VS GWS (F) This timeslot is reserved for an interstate match and this is the one for it
Saturday 7:10pm Collingwood VS Essendon (7) Second block buster- Collingwood top 4 essendon top 8 material
Saturday 7:35pm Port Adelaide VS Freo (F) Both teams could be fighting for the last few finals spots and interstate game

Sunday 1:10pm Geelong VS Carlton (F) Geelong have top spot locked up and carlton are building- most likely match to be moved to a 7 timeslot
Sunday 3:20pm WB vs Adelaide (7) Again the same as port vs freo both teams could be fighting for the final spot in the 8 and a victorian team is playing so 7
Sunday 5:20pm West Coast vs Hawthorn (F) The sunday twilight fixture is reserved for an interstate game and this is the one as hawthorn are a 25/75 to play finals


A usual fixture contains
Friday- Blockbuster 1
Sat 1:45- Victorian game at the g or etihad
Sat 2:10- Interstate game in NSW or QLD or a vic game
Sat 4:35 A twilight which is in NSW OR QLD or SA or WA
Sat 7:10 The 2nd blockbuster fixture or 7 timeslot. its always the 7 time slot apart from when the 7 game is in Perth
Sat 7:35 Another interstate game
Sun 1:10 A Victorian game
Sun 3:20 7 time slot usually a Vic game occasionally a WA or SA game
Sun 5:20 Almost always a WA game

What are your thoughts?

 

[Marmozet]

Bulldogs vs Adelaide will either be Sat 1:45 or Sun 1:10.

I hope they’ve learnt from the mistake of scheduling Dogs vs Port at 3:20pm last year.

 

[Marmozet]

Friday: Collingwood vs Essendon (7)

Saturday:
1:45 North vs Melbourne
2:10 Geelong vs Carlton
4:35 Port vs Fremantle
7:25 Sydney vs St Kilda
8:10 West Coast vs Hawthorn (7)

Sunday:
1:10 Bulldogs vs Adelaide
3:20 Richmond vs Brisbane (7)
4:40 Gold Coast vs GWS

When was the last time no games were played at docklands in a full round?

Round 14 2008

North sold their home game to play at Carrara
Dogs sold their home game to play in Darwin

Friday: Collingwood vs Essendon (7)

Saturday:
1:45 North vs Melbourne
2:10 Geelong vs Carlton
4:35 Port vs Fremantle
7:25 Sydney vs St Kilda
8:10 West Coast vs Hawthorn (7)

Sunday:
1:10 Bulldogs vs Adelaide
3:20 Richmond vs Brisbane (7)
4:40 Gold Coast vs GWS

Think this is around the mark.

Though I think they could potentially shift the Dogs v Crows to early saturday and the Port v Freo game to sunday.

I think the Ballarat game needs to start as early as possible because last year when Dogs and Port played there at 3:20 it got really dark and the lights they had weren’t up to scratch.

Yeah exactly. So they could put that one in place of the North v Melbourne game. Shift that one to 2:10 and the Geelong v Carlton game to twilight.

When you look at that it is a pretty ordinary final round. Only two games involving two finalists, plus WC v Hawks a maybe.

 

[banzai]

Richmond playing after West Coast could be a huge advantage if we keep winning. % should end close and could be for second spot. Same for Brisbane.
