Preview 2014 Fixture - What will it look like?

[Fred Ziffel]

I think we can only play one team in the bottom six twice and we're already playing west coast twice, so can't play melbourne twice also.

May be a departure from two West Coast meetings.

Those games are overrated anyway now.
Fremantle's games are basically going to be full or near full house games from now on, so too West Coast.

The two games was a request from the clubs driven by money which is no longer the case.

Really the only benefit of playing Eagles twice is an extra game at Subi which would otherwise be an away game.

This article suggests it's unlikely our round 1 opponent will be Melbourne because it says we play them at TIO Stadium on Round 16. Technically we can't play them twice because i think we can only play 1 team in the bottom six which is WCE. Sounds about right that the AFL decides to send us to Darwin...

Very happy with this. A rarity that I get to see my boys live

For no particular reason, here's the games I've seen them play:
1: 1997-Rd 14, Freo vs Sydney @ the WACA (won)
2: 1999-Rd 3, Freo vs Hawthorn @ Subi (lost)
3: 1999-Rd 15, Freo vs St Kilda @ Subi (won)
4: 2005-Rd 18, Freo vs C'wood @ MCG (won)
5: 2009-Rd 7, Freo vs Carlton @ Gold Coast (won)
6: 2013-Grand Final Freo vs Hawthorn @ MCG (lost)
And to come...
7: 2014-Rd 16, Freo vs Melbourne @ Marrara Stadium (...)

s i said unless there's only 1 western derby

 

[purplefrog]

yeah a

That will never happen.

 

[mrpresident1000]

exactly.... so no melbourn

That will never happen.

exactly, so no melbourne twice

 

[mrpresident1000]

So with a week to go until the fixture release let's get on the front foot!
Round 1 is shaping up as:
NM V ESS
GEEL V ADEL
CARL V PORT
GCS V RICH
SYD V GWS
HAW V BL
MELB V TBC (Cant play them as we have them R16 in Darwin)
TBC V WCE (Cant play them R1 as Derbies dont open seasons two years in a row)
Leaving:
Fremantle to play:
Collingwood, Bulldogs or Saint Kilda

And IF the Bulldogs vs Pies Round 1 rumour is true

Fremantle vs Saint Kilda Saturday 15th March 5:40 Patersons Stadium (Purple haze game)

[mrpresident1000]

nah i just thought i might because there's been a lot of conjecture and significant news that has broken this week of which people might be confused about... like we now have a really clear idea of our double ups from the T6....

 

[clivenator26]

We have a Thursday night time game vs Carlton - assuming after the mid season bye. Caro reporting in The Age.

 

[mrpresident1000]

Also i love that Geelong lose a home game because of the Simmons QF, and with North having 5 Friday night games, who's not to say that one of them is against Freo at Subi?

 

[apuchar]

Heard on the news that the trip to Darwin is the only developing ground we are going to this season. so no Launceston etc which is great.

 

[mrpresident1000]

We have a Thursday night time game vs Carlton - assuming after the mid season bye. Caro reporting in The Age.

That game will probably be on Thursday 5th June (Round 12)

 

[GilG]
