2019 fixture (news, requests and leaks)

[4tone]

This is awesome. Very happy!

Only one Sunday 3:20 game

By far the worst time for attending even watching on tv is hard. Cuts your sunday in half.

 

[DaVe86]

Great for the bottom line, but not great for our on-field chances.

Very tough start, and we play WC, Richmond and Melbourne twice....and Essendon who are tipped to be a force next year.

We don't get any of the easybeats like Gold Coast, Carlton or St.Kilda twice.

Looks a very tough draw. But if we are good enough, we'll do well.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I expected a harder draw but I feel like the AFL did what they always do and over-corrected.

Just watch we will still get the obligatory Collingwood get the easy draw comments!

Crows a good chance to push back up again on those rankings.

 

[barrackers]

Why do always seem to play a home game at Docklands against a Docklands tenant?? (North R15)

Yeah shits me too. Thought the AFL’s need for the big dollar crowd there would have ended when they purchased the ground. Now Queens birthday is shared McGuire’s next fight should be to stop this annual home game giveaway.

Richmond got let off easy considering they were minor Premiers.

[unplugged]

I'm stoked about our draw. The night games when my kids will be in bed! Yessss

 

[Jen2310]

While those double ups could be seen as tough.. I feel we're going to be such a stronger team it doesn't matter who we face, so I'm fairly optimistic. Bring it on!

 

[Anzacday]

Richmond got let off easy considering they were minor Premiers.

It's called the gastro effect

 

[MjJ23]

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.

Junior AFL is sundays in syd so they are a real pain up here.

 

[danielnajdek]

It's called the gastro effect

Or the "We choked" effect. #3peat

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Round 23 is all but guaranteed to be a Friday or Saturday game which means 17/22 games on a Friday or Saturday.

F**K

YES

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Fixture difficulty according to champion data, based on double-up opponents:

Noticed we ('COFC') are not marked in bright red compared to Richmond, Melbourne, West Coast and Geelong.

Does anyone know why that's the case?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

When was the last time we only played Carlton once?

I can't remember it

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

When was the last time we only played Carlton once?

I can't remember it

2017.

 

[frizzle]

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

When was the last time we played them on the MCG? Been a while that's for sure

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

2017.

Wow really? Wonder why I thought we played them twice.

What about before that? I know we had a stretch there where we had been playing them twice a year for a looooooooong time.

 

[adammania9]

At least they've caught on that Pies vs Blues games are awful and haven't drawn big crowds for a while

Why are we playing the Suns and Bulldogs at the G and North+Port at Docklands?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

When was the last time we played them on the MCG? Been a while that's for sure

That's how long (I think)

 

[TimothyJ23]

When was the last time we only played Carlton once?

I can't remember it

....2017 lol

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Why the fooooooook are we playing North at Marvel Stadium!?!

I thought Eddie was fixing this crap!!

 

[Jen2310]

I actually don't mind Marvel, except for those screens, which they need to make them bigger.
