Preview 2020 Fixture

[Duckimus Prime]

Got as far as 44sec's with flash backs to Play School, Fat Cat and Humphry B Bear before I hit the pause/stop button.
Seriously guys we can do better can't we.
I shakes me head with what the club is putting out lately.

Everyone except for West Coast and St Kilda put out meme videos for their fixture announcement.

It was nice of the club to release a special edition background for our co-captains:

Let's hope we have a better Easter than Jesus did.

West Coast at home? We'll be crucified.

We deservedly deride our social media / marketing team at times, but that is damn funny

Kudos

...and in front of more empty seats than Golgotha.

Must admit to having a belly laugh when I read this .... But then I thought, hell, you might be on to something! If we can all get a petition up to have Alyx join the Social media/video/marketing team, at least we will have plugged one hole in the leaking Port Adelaide ship!

I heard Richo get a bit excited talking about our Rd 19 Friday night game v Hawks at AO on SEN yesterday or maybe it was Thursday.

He was asked why a 6.50pm start and not 7.20pm start. He said its because that Friday night is opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics and it will be a lead in to 7's opening ceremony coverage.

I reckon we might only get 1/2 a game on the main channel around Oz and then get bumped to 7Mate.

When neither Oz or Japan are on Daylight Savings Adelaide is 30 minutes ahead of Japan. Japan doesn't observe daylight savings.

A 2.10 game usually ends at 4.45ish so that the broadcaster can have a 10 minute preview and 15 minute review at the end of the game before the broadcast finishes.

So 6.50pm Adelaide time will be 6.20pm Tokyo time. The Opening ceremonies usually starts around 8pm local time so that the night has set in and the light show can commence. Sunset in Japan is around 7pm in July.

So if the opening ceremony does start at 8pm that would be 8.30 Adelaide time so 2nd quarter would probably ends around 8pm Adelaide time, 7 then go to Tokyo for a bit of BS build up before the official start.

Might not be as big a marketing opportunity as the club is hoping for.

Ken doing a Zen Tea Ceremony at half time will be the perfect lead in.

Looks like a bloody hard draw. To be as positive as I can, all I can hope for is to not get the spoon.

 

[CharlieKelly]

Bump.

When’s the new fixture out?

Brisbane, West Coast, Fremantle and Adelaide for the first month

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

They said over the next 10 days when they announced the restart on Friday, so probably sometime this week.

And the rest of it will come out later in blocks of about 4-6 rounds.

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

im very happy with us playing away because i think we have played much better when away than at home in the past 3 years, im not sure why that is but it is.

Damn, we had a half decent fixture this year as well!

They said they're trying to avoid playing the showdown and derby's in QLD.
Not exactly sure how that'll work out though.

I think they might try and involve the Sydney teams too in the first stage. It will be like an "interstate" conference. The Vics will love it.

I'd be quite happy for that to be the future (like in the NFL), but with the proviso that the GF move to the highest ranked state every year.

Every year would be an interstate v Vic grand final, would soon water down their 'wins'.

 

[robbo1981]

Are they going to let us have multiple home games in the back end of the season?

 

[Arsene Wenger]

We will def play Brisbane / WCE and Freo first three weeks. I imagine then they will bring the Giants or Swans up for us after that.

Bringing this post to a better thread:

I haven't stopped to actually read whatever the AFL is trying to do. I also haven't seen any mention to the NSW clubs.

My first impression is that the AFL is thinking on setting two hubs: Melbourne (Vic clubs) and GC (interstate clubs). If so, teams would necessarily play within each hub: VIC v. VIC; rest v. rest.

Thus, there would be 8 teams in GC. Some teams already have played each other (Port-Suns) for instance. Hence, without rematches, there could be 6 rounds [without derbies, it would be 5].

This would give the league at least a month before needing to make a decision on how the rest of the season would play out.

However, although this makes sense to me, I don't know whether this is what the AFL is trying to do.

Welcome to the Gold Coast!

What does it matter it's not like anyone can go Because its our 150th year, and we are wearing the prisonbars, and the majority of our premierships have been won at that oval. I understand it may not be important to many, but if done well it could still have been a very special event. We...
