Fremantle will be handed a significantly harder home-and-away roster than last season due to the league's first ever "handicapping". Games will be scheduled among this year's top six, middle six and bottom six sides from the ladder after the 2013 finals.

After one match against each of the other 17 clubs, the Dockers can expect return clashes against two other top six sides either Geelong, Sydney, Carlton or Port Adelaide, as well as two derbies with West Coast.

Dockers chief executive Steve Rosich was tight-lipped on details of the new fixtures and when the first clash with the Hawks will be.

He did confirm potential for his club to regularly play in primetime, with national exposure and highly appealing home-game opponents.

"There are aspects of that fixture which I have got no doubt our members and supporters will be really excited by," Rosich said

Looks like we're playing Hawthorn twice next year. One positive is that the articles says that we will be playing them at the MCG instead of Tassie. Although the AFL did screw us out of playing Melbourne at the MCG.

It mentions that we have been working hard on minimizing the amount of and timing of six day breaks.

 

[estibador]

really?

you cant be serious....

i really hope that is unsubstantiated

You take this scheduling stuff pretty seriously huh?

Pretty good read. Looks like we're getting some prime-time matches, Friday night & Saturday night here we come! Also says the egirls are hosting round one, looks like we're traveling, so that should rule out the grand final rematch in round 2.

 

[mrpresident1000]

yeah i love my footy

Carlton's two T6 Doubles are:
Geelong
Port Adelaide (they also play Essendon and collingwood twice, now HIGHLY UNLIKELY they will play freo twice, carlton) ???

Geelong Return clashes are:
Hawthorn, Carlton, Collingwood ??? ???

Sydney's return clashes are:
GWS, Hawthorn, Richmond, ??? ???

look at the likelihood of things

Mate, next Thursday could be a massive anti-climax for you.

 

[mrpresident1000]

Mate, next Thursday could be a massive anti-climax fro you.

i dont think so..... if i was going to feel like that would i even be here mate?

 

[electricfeel]

I, for one, enjoy @mrpresident1000's enthusiasm for the fixture

But then again, I have been deeply entrenched in my thesis for the past fortnight, so anything is exciting for me! I am excited for the release of the fixture though. Looking forward to more blockbusters and to to hopefully play teams like Hawthorn at our home deck for once. I'm also anticipating the influx of noobs who will complain about too much "Ross Lyon footy" at blockbuster timeslots

Hoping we have the Saints at Etihad Round One. I'd get to see Gumby and Sylvia first up, plus stuff st kilda and Scott Waters.

Sounds likely and I would love that, get off to a good start and make amends to round 23 from last year...

 

[mrpresident1000]

Yep safe to say we do... but we DEFINITELY have an Etihad Game round 1

[god of purple]

That article said nothing about playing GEELONG AT simonds. All it said was that we are playing them twice

 

[mrpresident1000]

ye

That article said nothing about playing GEELONG AT simonds. All it said was that we are playing them twice

no, you had to INFER!!!!

 

[greatgatsby]

Yep, Cats at Simonds and with Hawks twice, I assume - looking at you Mr Pres - that means Sydney only once (in Perth); no trips to Tassie or SCG, but a sojourn to Darwin and likely visits to Skoda (or Manuka), the Gabba and one trip to the lovely Adelaide Oval?
