I like the Thursday slot, but North aren't exactly a Big drawing team...
I don't mind the Kangas on a Thursday night; AO will be packed anyway and people will watch because it'll be the only game on.
Suns at the Gold Coast in Round 1 would suit me fine as I can get there, and means we end the season with a home game

You will get 50000 on a Thursday night, no matter who we play.
The Roos have drawn huge crowds in the last two seasons at Adelaide Oval -
2014 47,205 Sat night
2015 46,491 Sun Easter
People seem to forget that before we went to Adelaide Oval our biggest crowd for the past 5 years was 50,000 against Essendon in 2009 & we only got 45,000 once in our last 5 years at Football Park (I think).
Most dont realise that apart from home Showdowns we virtually never got over 40,000 to Football Park in the last few years.

Looks like we play north R1 and R13.

What's the Kanga record for start of seasons? From memory it's pretty bad.

Again the AFL rewards the perpetual under performers in Carlton and Richmond by giving them the opening round.
They haven't won in rd 1 since 2009.

So North at Etihad stadium in Round 1.
Should be a good test for Don Pyke and a great opportunity to show us the Crows game style for 2016.
Is it just me or is the rest of Round 1 boring as shit? Playing at ANZ again FFS, Melb hosting the other expansion side at home again and don't get me started on the so called traditional season opener! Good to see Port carrying Easter Sunday though they'll be lucky to get 35,000 to that one! The only game that is remotely interesting in Hawks v Cats.

Why North again? I mean it doesn't bother me we're playing them but I don't understand how a team like us gets drawn the same round 1 opposition two years in a row.
We replaced him with Troy Menzel and have told him to pull his finger out!
A bloke called tex says hi
Menzel will take his 6 goals
They will eventually win one hopefully it's not next year
Ummm...it's round 1. Duh!
End of March, does not seem that far away. Good.
Welcome to AFL Logic.
"We're giving Carlton and Richmond the opening round because it's tradition."
"Tradition? Since when?"
"Since we started building it."
