Don't learn much from this do we. I think we'll play Hawthorn, Geelong and Port twice, along with maybe Carlton and West Coast. Interesting stat re RTB coaching against Essendon.

yeah i would've inferred we play Brissy twice (only team from M6) and we play sydney in sydney again

Yeah you're right - I just can't get my ahead around Carlton being top 6 In that case we might get Adelaide twice - the AFL has always been much more keen to double us up with the Adelaide teams than with Brisbane. Surely we get Sydney at home (especially in a year when we should get GWS away).

yeah haha we cant play Carlton twice and yes probably adelaide twice, i've done my homework and looked at likelihood's of playing certain teams twice and adelaide is a real possibility, also Saint Kilda round 1 @ Etihad probably week 1

all in all a quiet night on the fixture front but have a look back at this article tomorrow as it states teams Round 1 opponents, ST Kilda's yet to be done... http://www.backpagelead.com.au/index.php/afl/11345-a-sneak-peek-at-the-2014-afl-fixture-pt-i

Tonight for all of you out there i will do a FINAL FIXTURE, based on the compilation of information over the past few weeks, it will also INCORPORATE every piece of information relevant do Dockers fixturing!

 

[The Anchorite]

You know that in a couple of days, they'll just tell us the actual fixture, right?

 

[Kenny_01]

According to an article last week, we only play Carlton (and Richmond) once.

We always double up against Adelaide, have to go to AAMI at least once every season. Wouldn't mind Sydney and Hawthorn at home at least. No Tasmania, SCG and/or Gabba trips would be nice! But one of those three will happen.

I think the structure of the away games will be
3 @ Etihad
2 @ MCG
1 @ TIO (Darwin)
1 @ Skoda/Manuka
1 @ Adelaide Oval
1 @ Gabba

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I think we might get 3 at the MCG, Sep.
If not then probably a Kardinya game.

With Hawks, Collingwood, Melbourne and Richmond having the G as their home ground, we are already down 1 oppurtunity with the Melbourne game in the NT.

With Collingwood and Richmond both finishing in the middle tier of teams there is a chance we will only get 1 game at the MCG aginst these side.

GF replay is a given and the only other chance could be playing Geelong there on a Friday night blockbuster rather than sending us down to Geelongistan.

Need one more to make 10 away games, probably Kardinya Park?

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I was thinking more like an Essendon game at the G.
Eti will likely be North, Bulldogs, and Saints.

 

[Seppo]

Ideally Port twice for a shorter trip and a tougher team.

My prediction is we'll be playing Geelong twice. Geelong host one Friday night game at Simmonds and it'll be no surprise if it's us.

We play Carlton at home on a Thursday night. That's right, the AFL actually put us on a Thursday night

thats a pretty accurate prediction... because you know what.... we DO play geelong twice

 

[mrpresident1000]

I'll go you one better can give you my final fixture on Thursday night!

i'll go one better then that and give you my final fixture thursday morning

 

[estibador]

yeah haha we cant play Carlton twice and yes probably adelaide twice, i've done my homework and looked at likelihood's of playing certain teams twice and adelaide is a real possibility, also Saint Kilda round 1 @ Etihad probably week 1

Sounds like we aren't getting Adelaide twice.

Trigg was on radio over there and said they have Coll, North, Melb, Port, Saints and GWS.

Haha. Alright, I predict we'll play Geelong on Friday night in there first ever Friday night game at Simmonds.
