[Cthublhu]

Carlton's draw is very nice . Only four interstate games, one of them the Suns first game ever.

We play Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond, Sydney, Melbourne and St.Kilda twice. Given that we're always going to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond twice, they've given us two games against one team that was clearly better than us in 2010, one team clearly worse and one roughly the same.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

So much for a game in Qld every week. Check out Round 3.

 

[Sin City]

Very happy with Carlton's draw. Only four interstate trips and a bye two weeks out from finals.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

probably the easiest draw we have had in some time. No excuses to not make top 4 or even top 2 thats for sure.

Interesting quote this morning made...

But the AFL has acknowledged their rivals' desperation to play the Pies in high-drawing home encounters means they will always have a leg up on rivals.

perhaps in the future the other clubs might want to think twice about requesting home games against us or maybe the AFL can just deny the requests. Cant win either way, your going to piss someone off.

Richmond first 9 games in Melbourne, and first 4 rounds are all Night matches @ MCG. Sweet.

 

[Zahki]

Yet another dream draw for Geelong, no surprises there

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Richmond are starting to attain more respect in the footy world, this is reflected through our draw. More Saturday games, a few Friday night matches, play twice against Carlton & Essendon, hopefully we can perform admirably...

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Very odd seeing all those three-team byes.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

PP not worth pointing out the truth. The insecure types on here won't listen.

 

[Sin City]

Yet another dream draw for Geelong, no surprises there

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

North Melbourne also got an epic shit draw, I shit on them a lot in my posts. But its just unfair for them to be given such an unfair draw, how can they hope to draw any crowd when they play most of their games on Sunday?

 

[PieBeast]

We've won the Flag after having one of the hardest draws ever, with this draw back to back should be a formality

 

[Z_K]

Collingwood, St Kilda, Geelong twice (and in Geelong for the 37th year on the trot) and two trips to WA before round 4. From a football POV it's as tough as it could possibly come for a side that didn't play finals. MCG once is bullshit.

Commercially, looks better than last year.

Collingwood have done well (not that it will matter that much).

If Melbourne don't play finals with this draw they are taking the piss.

 

[PTizzle]

Not overly happy with Brisbane's draw but mainly because our first 6 weeks minus the bye are a bit rough. Tougher teams at the Gabba and easier teams away at least, but the other way around to instill some confidence with a few wins might have been better. Gets better as the season goes on though and it'll most likely be a development year by the looks of it regardless.

Very excited for a lot of matchups on there though and it looks like I'll hopefully get to see some teams I enjoy watching (North, Port) on free-to-air a little more than this year. North have it rough though, I would have picked them making finals easily but playing the tougher teams twice is going to test them.

Thank god Freo have three games at the MCG this year (a couple definitely winnable as well), they have a tough start to the season but if they can grab some wins in the first bunch of rounds they can hopefully push up the ladder.

Now the hard part is waiting...

 

[Sin City]

MCG once is bullshit.

Really don't approve of that. Struggling clubs shouldn't be screwed over like that

 

[JMc#5]

Yet another dream draw for Geelong, no surprises there

You're on drugs aren't ya???

We have 6 interstate trips - 2 to Perth, Syd, Bris, GC, Adelaide.... including a back to back Perth and Brisbane in rounds 16 & 17.

We play Hawks, Pies, Saints twice...

We have byes rd. 6 and 22... so a long stretch of 15 games without a rest...

We play sides coming off a bye 4 times....


The only saving grace is the bye in rd.22 leading into finals... but we may not even be there...


Probably not the worst draw, but in no way is it a good draw for us...

 

[Primetime Pricey]

PP not worth pointing out the truth. The insecure types on here won't listen.

maybe my eyes are decieving me but Melbourne travel 3 times and Carlton and Richmond travel 4 times so its not just us that have been given a good run this time around.
Geelong and Saints travel 6 times!

Richmond are starting to attain more respect in the footy world, this is reflected through our draw. More Saturday games, a few Friday night matches, play twice against Carlton & Essendon, hopefully we can perform admirably...

Was it the back to back 15th placing that did it you reckon?

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Carlton's draw is very nice . Only four interstate games, one of them the Suns first game ever.

We play Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond, Sydney, Melbourne and St.Kilda twice. Given that we're always going to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond twice, they've given us two games against one team that was clearly better than us in 2010, one team clearly worse and one roughly the same.

I assume your talking about Sydney with the team that's roughly the same, we beat you 3 times this year. You can pencil in another 2 wins for us next year.

 

[Turkey Tom]

The only saving grace is the bye in rd.22 leading into finals... but we may not even be there...

err no...last round is Round 24. We play Collingwood.

 

[willydave]

Melbourne = top eight finish.

Just look through the draw.

4 interstate trips - including a home game against Port in NT.

Two interstate games cushioned by byes.

Heaps at the 'G

Only play each of the top 4 once.

We are home.

 

[JMc#5]

Carlton will be the team to break into the top 4 IMO...

Melbourne will play finals next year...

North robbed....

Freo get 3 games at the G'!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I don't think the fixture has much to do with respect, it's all about the numbers. Richmond's fans get them a better draw again than their play warrants, so good for you guys.

I think ours is tough onfield but a substantial improvement commercially - off a very low base in 2009 /2010 but even though it could a lot better I'm not too disappointed if the direction is right.

Melbourne play away 4 times plus a trip down to the Cattery.
