Demetriou pledges fan-friendly fixture

“The 2003 program will focus on driving attendances, while simultaneously maximising television and radio audiences. We have learnt a lot from the first year of our new broadcast agreement, and what we have learnt will be applied to season 2003,” he said.
The thrust of the fixture will be to draw fans to the big games, while continuing to work towards maximising TV ratings, which Demetriou admitted is a “delicate mix.”
In regards to the Foundation Weekend - does this mean that Brisbane will wear the Fitzroy jumper and Port can wear the prsion bar strip? If so how do the Port & Roy fans feel about this, if it occurs?

yes, demetriou has also come out and said that the games of round 16 through to round 22 won't necessarily be played in the same order as those from round 1 to round 7. not sure if that means whole rounds will be moved as one though.
Good, then we can not only go positive, but have a 2:1 ratio or greater in only one year.Originally posted by tashibatts
As long as the Roos play Port every week I am happy
Go Roos

But nothing like as bad as having to go to Perth, Geelong or Adelaide as we've had to do in the last couple of years. I'd be happy with it.Originally posted by Jars458
Playing the derbies in the last round will not be fair on Brisbane and Sydney who will hve to travel every second year and no other clubs will travel at all

Richmond and Carlton should not get ANY friday night games based on this years performacnes.

Perish the thhought of Melbourne clubs having to travel in the last round. What a crock of Barry.
Channel Nine's picks of the blockbuster games for Friday nights will be interestging considering the lame lot that they picked this year.
Richmond and Carlton should not get ANY friday night games based on this years performacnes.
Look forward to Collingwood and Essenodn being the Friday night teams with Melbourne thrown in a few times.

So for the first and last round there will be:
Port v Adel
Freo v WCE
Syd v Bris
Coll v Rich
My guess for the others:
Haw v Mel
Dogs v saints
Geel v Carl
Ess v Kang
Does this mean a geelong player cannot win the brownlow ?Originally posted by Philj
The most interesting question is, who plays Geelong in Round 21? That way we can start our Brownlow betting early

This is round 5, so the return derby/showdown games would be in round 20 rather than round 22 - unless the return games are being played out of sequence.

“This round may include clubs playing in their foundation strips, a concept that was so successful in the Centenary Year of 1996. Perhaps we’ll see Brisbane in the famous maroon and blue of one its parent clubs – Fitzroy – in what, coincidentally, will be a round 19 replay of today’s match against Collingwood,” he said.

If he gets three votes in the R21 fixture I suppose he can.
