2018 Experiment Fixture

[Rabman]

2018 fixture is soon to be released, thought we could have a experiment and put our own cases forward into who are opponents will be at Adelaide Oval and all other venues next season, no doubt after last season there will a few blockbusters on the cards.

Adelaide Oval:
1. Richmond Friday Night
2. Port Power Saturday Night
3. Melbourne Friday Night
4. Brisbane Sunday
5. Carlton Saturday Night
6. North Melbourne Thursday Night
7. Gold Coast Sunday T
8. Collingwood Friday Night
9. Geelong Friday Night
10. Western Sydney Sunday
11. West Coast Sunday

MCG:
Hawthorn, Carlton, Richmond
Docklands:
Bulldogs, St.Kilda, Essendon

Sydney (SCG) Western Sydney (SPT) Melbourne (TIO) Fremantle (PS) Port Power (AO)

The AFL has 3 groups of 6 when it decides who the double ups are. Being in the 1-6 category 3 double ups will come from that group with one each from 7-12 (Melbourne) 13-18 (Carlton). 6 of those home games certain of. Richmond is guaranteed along with port as usual, Gibbs and Lever deals will no doubt mean games against Carlton and Melbourne, north because of our 20 year premiership, similar St.Kilda last season, west coast last game of the season usually means a WA team.

Haha you can't be serious about a night "Home Showdown", the Port one will be but ours definitely won't.
Geelong at the shithole on Fri/Sat Night will happen again.
Richmond twice as well but at the G first.
Melbourne, Collingwood & CARLTON at home should also be certainties.
Think we'll get an Easter Sunday twilight blockbuster home game against 1 of GCS/BL/Freo.
Wouldn't mind 1 or 2 Saturday twilight games for a change, Sunday ones can GAGF.
I'm hoping for something like 4 Friday Nights, 2 Saturday Twilights, 4 Saturday Nights & the compulsory Sunday Twilight Showdown.

Bickley on 5AA said we were playing St Kilda in Round 1, Richmond in Round 2, and there was a Thursday Night v Dees in there too. Roos in Round 23.

 

[mojito]

Bet you we have WCE in the last week again

That fixture that Bicks read out seemed too good to be true though... I just want to avoid the cats at Kardinia.

We may adviod that one.
reckon we will get a double up against bottom 6 = Carlton, Middle 6 = Melbourne and Port, Top 6 = Richmond and ???

Doubtful
Double ups will probably be Richmond and Geelong from the top 6, port Adelaide and Melbourne from the middle 6* and Carlton from the top 6

*remember afl uses post finals top 8, so they deem west Coast as top 6...

I'm surprised no one kicked up a fuss this year at that.

Slowly the afl introduced the rules that no team can play their first matchup in rd 23, then they slowly worked to including rd 22 in that

Nek minnut, its 2017 and we have Sydney in rd 22 and west coast in rd 23

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Hope no games in Tassie. We never win there. Could not even beat North there.

 

[pjcrows]

IIRC Bickley's mail was double ups with Richmond, GWS, Port, Melbourne and Carlton. The Cats game was here.

IIRC Bickley's mail was double ups with Richmond, GWS, Port, Melbourne and Carlton. The Cats game was here.

In years gone by, that's great 2nd match ups to have, but really Carlton is the only team you could definitively say we would win both times.

There is nothing in this thread that constitutes an experiment

Pretty sure will be up in Darwin again considering the success last season, hawthorn will probably just be a away game in 2018, i confident that richmond, port power and Melbourne will be our first 3 home games.

 

[Cromulent]

As long as we dont get an @ Geelong or @ Tasmania game this year I'm happy. So sick of dropping those games..

playing Melbourne's home game up there and having more support was brilliant.

would be nice to get an extra game in at the G though.

 

[JPetro83]

We may adviod that one.
reckon we will get a double up against bottom 6 = Carlton, Middle 6 = Melbourne and Port, Top 6 = Richmond and ???

GWS

 

[JPetro83]

I still think we will play GWS away round 1...
