2016 FIXture discussion

[cryptor]

11-3 going into the bye I think is a pretty conservative expectation based on what we know and can anticipate at this stage. Also considering we likely won't be going in with our best side and going all out for the whole game like a lot of the teams we'll face. The bounty for getting the Hawk scalp is larger than ever for what it means to clubs trying to sell faith and memberships.

They play hawks twice, richmond twice, carlton twice, giants twice, north twice

So basically they have Carlton & GWS and us WCE and Melbourne as the differences.

Piss easy draw.

Double up against Melbourne is a bonus! We finally get the upper hand over Geelong for a couple of sessions and no double up. Richmond twice will be a challenge as will Port away followed by Shitney away in consecutive weeks.

Pretty good draw considering we don't have to okay WB twice and we get Geelong before they have a chance to click. Only trip to Perth and Adelaide is excellent for managing older bodies.

Here's our players upcoming milestone games (not including debuts) assuming they don't miss any games and also not taking into account the likelihood of certain players to play games:

Schoenmakers 100th, Burgoyne 300th in round 5 vs Adelaide @ MCG

Gibson 200th, Lewis 250th in round 10 vs Brisbane Lions @ GABBA

Whitecross 100th in round 12 vs Essendon @ Etihad

Simpkin 50th in round 13 vs North Melbourne @ Etihad

Mitchell 300th in round 16 vs Port Adelaide @ AO

Langford 50th in round 18 vs Richmond @ MCG

Ceglar 50th, Roughead 250th in round 20 vs Melbourne @ MCG

Hill 100th potentially in PF/GF if we get that far

Shiels 150th in GF if we play SF route

So Hill could potentially play his 100th game on grand final day, while taking home his 4th flag.

4 flags in 100 games. That's a pretty good record!

Shouldn't be surprised but the Swans only play 2 of last year's top 6 teams twice? (Us and Richmond)

How does that work???

Not $ure

Vs Sydney at the mcg . Wish it was during the day. Memory recall .

 

[Xtreme]

9, possibly 10 thurs/fri night games and 0 sat night games wtf, sat night is the best night.

It's done to avoid BT, Darcy etc commentating Hawthorn games.

 

[beta_condition]

Holy shit we're playing at the Gabba

 

[beta_condition]

How does that work???

They went out in straight sets and didn't finish top 4.

 

[Hawkk]

eleven MCG games. Carlton have 9. its happening

eagles get 3 MCG games, crows port two each, syd bris freo gws one each

Gold coast no games. so buy a GC Victorian membership and see any 11 MCG games in the AFL reserve (I think ANZAC and a couple of others excluded)

3/4 away games is par for choice for the MCG tenant clubs these days (Collingwood aside)

With home games against Collingwood, Richmond, Sydney, Melbourne, North, Adelaide and West Coast it would have been nice to get a home game against Essendon or Geelong instead of Melbourne or North

ROUND 10 FINALLLY....in BRISBANE its a MIRACLE!!!!

I've already booked the plane and accommodation lol

 

[Hawkk]

Good draw I reckon. 12 games in Melbourne, 5 in Tas, and 5 away games. Very good!!!!!!

13 games in Melb (10 at MCG, 3 at Docklands), 4 in Tas and 5 interstate (x2 in NSW, 1 in Adel, 1 in Bris, 1 in Perth)

[zenmasterfu]

Our 2012, 2013 and 2014 draws were brutal but 2015 was by no means the toughest draw in the league

Hopefully we get our 7th home game back at the MCG, play Carlton / Essendon at the MCG and finally get a GABBA trip

It was thought to be the hardest at the start of the season before the drop off of teams like Port and Geelong.

 

[zenmasterfu]

It's not really a big issue, but I hope for the sake of all the long-suffering Brisbane Hawks fans that we don't decide to wear the Power Rangers guernsey and you get to see them in the Brown and Gold!

There ain't no way the power rangers costume exists after this year ... it's morphing time!

Big Boy! Wowee! Darc! Big Boy!
Brust with a chiseler, Rioli with a sizzler!
And Gibson over the top with the spoil, he says "I don't want any of that"

 

[Cleavy]

proposed AFL final on a Thursday? they can get stuffed!

Does anyone know why the last round is still a floating round when the following week is a bye? Seems pointless.
