yeah.... of course.... well you called in seppo... in one of your posts i think you said possibly a NT special.... i would say a very high chance actually.... but your a brave Andrew Demetriou if you send a top 2 team to play a bottom 2 side in Alice Springs

Looks like we might play 2 bottom 6 sides twice (Melb, WC).

From what I can gather, 4 of the 5 sides we play twice will be Hawks, PA, WC, Melb and one other).

Unfortunately that cant happen (even though it would probably be 16 easy points)

As a top 6 side... we cannot play a 2 bottom six sides...

That's such crap another year with 1 less game to attend in Melbourne, hope they discount the Victorian memberships accordingly.

That's our punishment for leaving the AFL no choice but to schedule our Hawks game at the MCG this year. Vlad always gets the last laugh.

We should leave Sandi out this year, didn't he lose 5kgs last time we played there?

 

[greatgatsby]

I'm assuming one less game in Adelaide, not necessarily Melbourne.

IM SO SICK OF THIS.... and what's more our ANZAC friday night game could be taken away by Adelaide as compensation for not having the opening AO MATCH!!!! SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE.....

Someone on the main board posted that Garlick told a club gathering it would be WB vs Pies in round 1
So, maybe we have the saints rd 1????

That would be a fairly easy draw considering where we finished.

It would be pretty shitty to miss out on Adelaide altogether if this eventuates, would love to get over there to check out AO next year.

Do you think we should rest a dozen in preparation for the Hawks game?

Unfortunately we dont know anything yet....

My recollection is that the last time we played in Darwin, someone took a shot at Harves during the post-match 'warm down'?
