VFL shafts Eagles Again

[Bluke]

We get another Sunday fixture on round 23 despite being likely top four finisher while essendon and port get Friday night and Carlton Saturday night.

Happy days!

Adelaide isn't in Victoria

Great result. Give me 12/13 day break over 15 days, plus we know what we're chasing.

But true, weird that there's not a Brisbane home Friday night game in Round 23

 

[mad_eagle]

Meh, with the week off before the finals, this is far from the biggest issue I have with the fixturing.

 

[squashface]

Wrong time to complain about it.

Sunday game is what we want in Round 23.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Shafted? That's the absolute best timeslot we could've hoped for.

Gives us a 7 day break after the Melbourne game plus the ability to fly back to Perth straight after the game. Then a week off before (hopefully) a qualifying final.

What annoys me more is how VFL records are included with AFL records (including premierships etc). The AFL should cease to include VFL stats before the start of the AFL. The Brownlow medal should be changed to reflect the best player of the AFL era instead of a VFL player. I could go on...

Lol

Considering we have a few months worth of shitty Sunday games in a row it was always going to happen.

Who f'n cares EVERY FINALS TEAM GETS A BYE THE NEXT WEEK

 

[larrikin]

This floating final round fixture is pretty irrelevant now with the week off.

 

[oak79]

Take your conspiracy hat off. Sunday is good for us.

We get the next week off anyway.

 

[Bluke]

To be perfectly honest, I completely forgot about the bye. So storm in a teacup is right...

My bad.

 

[ep2018]

This is a great result, we will be able to know how much % we need to finish 2nd or, if we're unlucky enough, for top 4 if we shit the bed.

I think OP forgot about the bye

Yep. Very useful to know how Collingwood/Port have finished before we play our game.

Given we play Sunday in Rd.22 and a bye after rd.23. Sunday game is the right outcome.

Calling for a Friday game is a 5 day break from previous round

 

[WCE_phil]

With the week off between H&A and finals i actually think sunday is the best option for us.

More of an issue IMO

I saw a stat info graphic the other day that showed how many finals teams had won, obviously going back to the start of time.

More interestingly, would be the stat from the INCEPTION ON THE AFL.

UM national competition

 

[Suma Magic]

I'm pumped for this game.

I think there is a huge chance that our finishing position will be impacted by the margin of this game.

 

[Ok Boomer]

With the week break before finals, its the ideal time to play.

Inception being when the competition was renamed the AFL in 1990?

What then do you do about all our stats/records from the period when we played in the Victorian Football League between 1987 and 1989?

 

[Dark Sharks]

There's a week off before finals noob, hasn't anyone pointed that out to you yet?
