2019 fixture (news, requests and leaks)

[Pragmatic Shill]

22 games is what counts; I don’t fear the opposition let them fear us.

All works out.

Though your point is right, early on can cause great mischief one way or other.

Momentum is a real thing in footy. The first five rounds will be:

Geelong
Richmond
West Coast
Brisbane at the Gabba
Essendon

Very capable of starting the season 2-3 or worse.

Also, Round 10 at the SCG against the Swans for Buddy's 300th and it being indigenous round is like the perfect storm for being torn a new one by Franklin.

Or even start 5 - 0

I like that momentum

I think you're missing a round there. Brisbane and Essendon are R5 and 6.

 

[jimmy35]

Our momentum at the beginning wasn’t brilliant this year either. But a good start is always a good start.

 

[frizzle]

There aren't many easy games in the AFL any more anyway.

Just get our best team on the field reasonably consistently & we will be a big chance to win them all.


Just adding - Dunn , Moore, Elliott & Wells to our team early next year will strengthen us immensely.
Reid thereabouts as well. Then add Dayne Beams into the midfield rotation.

Hey strength & conditioning team & rehab team - Lift your game

[JJ14AU]

So we copped Rich/Dees/WCE/Bombers/Bulldogs x 2

 

[unplugged]

Have we ever ever played GCS in the first dozen games?

 

[caloschwaby]

I'm somewhat glad we get these games out of the way while our full list is ready and healthy... hopefully.

 

[Mkcaptain]

This is awesome. Very happy!

Only one Sunday 3:20 game

[caloschwaby]

How do we play Richmond twice while West Coast doesn't?
Seems like we've got a harder fixture out of all the top 4 teams...

 

[Shade]

Best fixture we have gotten in years

TWO Sunday games.

jesus wept thats good

 

[caloschwaby]

Too many Friday games.

That's how we like it

 

[JJ14AU]

I expected Ric/Dees/Bombers x 2. Didn’t think Bulldogs and WCE were the others.

Thought we’d have Carlton x 2 and possibly Geelong x 2 this year.

Tough start but rounds 4 to 9 look pretty good. If we can be at least 2 and 1 come round Rnd 4 I'll be happy.

Round 16 to 19 will determine if we are contenders again (Bogey team Hawks followed by Eagles/Giants away and then Tigers).

Slight reprieve with Suns at the G before another tough three week finish Dees, Crows away and Dons.

If we are good enough we will make it.

Buddy may well be playing his 300th against us in Round 10 but he only needs 1 hiccup to miss a game earlier and that is out the window.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Makes me smile.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

So we copped Rich/Dees/WCE/Bombers/Bulldogs x 2

That's one tough set of double ups

 

[Crazy Tails]

I'm sure I am in the minority but I don't mind the Sunday games. Kids are free and no clash with Saturday sport commitments.

 

[Adz]

Fixture is a nightmare for country Pie fans.

 

[Jen2310]

I don't mind any day a game is on.

I don't think the draw is as tough as we were made out. Bulldogs twice? No biggie. Sure Melb/WC/Rich will be tough, but it was to be expected.

 

[workhorse]

Tough double ups but was always going to happen. Why do always seem to play a home game at Docklands against a Docklands tenant?? (North R15) Apart from playing Sydney in Sydney again there's not much to read home about.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Any chance we could play the Swans in Melbourne for once?
