Analysis 2020 Fixture - Thoughts and guesses

[jackess]

Apart from easy double ups I’d like more games at the MCG. We need to learn how to play that ground for obvious reasons.

Funny how Bombers get 6 Thursday Friday games, Hawks 5, Dogs 5, we finished above them all.

 

[Ironmonger]

Not great for Melbourne based fans, unfortunately. 4 games in Melbourne and one in Geelong.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

Double ups with
Gold coast
Hawthorn
North
Collingwood
Geelong

Can't really complain with that I recon.

A first visit to Canberra v GWS though - very good for you!

 

[jackess]

Great double ups. The Thursday and Friday games all at the Gabba is great too.

1 August. It will be freezing.

At least they've learnt not to schedule night games for that time of year.

This is a pretty phenomenal fixture for us. I think we only have three Sunday fixtures all up for the entire year, and only one of those at home. That's only three times having to deal with the extended bench.

Seems to be a heap more away games on Saturday night, a chance to go to Canberra and Hobart, and of course the two Thursday and two Friday night games at the Gabba against Richmond, Collingwood, Melbourne and Hawthorn.

It's much, much better than I'd imagined the AFL would give us. How exciting.

Not a bad draw I reckon finish last 3 rounds in QLD with 2 at the Gabba and 1 in GC.

Serious?

Primetime games at home:

Easter Thursday - Pies
Rd 8 (Friday May 8) - Tigers
Rd 14 (Friday June 19) - Melbourne
Rd 15 (Thursday June 25) - Hawks

Club will be very very happy with that commercially.

Hello top 4

 

[kylegee28]

Ergh. Only two at the G

 

[tate13]

Horrendous outcome for Victorian fans. Really, really disappointing to see the merger agreement and 100 years of history once again treated with utter disdain.

Only took them 8 years! Plus compared to Bruce stadium Manuka at least doesn't funnel the cold wind directly into the crowd.

I reckon we might end up regretting that fixturing. Hobart and Canberra in mid-winter are about as far as you can get from Brisbane weather and still be in Australia.

What a joke 4 games in Melbourne. We're supposed to be getting 6 a year. The AFL is run by a bunch of muppets

Historically Victorians appears to be more likely to get out and support these games. I'll be interested to see what kind of crowd numbers we get this year for those games.

Interesting our Vic based membership prices for next year.

The double ups

 

[Gadzorks]

Didn't double with tigers, west coast of GWS ie the other top four teams.

 

[dlanod]

Only took them 8 years! Plus compared to Bruce stadium Manuka at least doesn't funnel the cold wind directly into the crowd.

Only played them in Sydney once in the first six years as well. First time they played twice was in 2018. The Canberra game this year makes it 25% in Canberra, not that far off the 27% of games GWS plays there.

 

[lionsrules]

its a great draw for the club. Not the best for vic fans but happy for the club.

 

[Iron Turtle]

Well only going to 2 games next year. My wife and I dislike Night games as it we get home too late.
