Fixture 2022 WCE Fixture

[Obeanie1]

So once again we get the final game of the round

In bloody Geelong.

Oh well, chances are we will send the Beagles team over to Geelong in round 23 anyway.

 

[Obeanie1]

Well thats a trash fixture to start the year, as normal we get the last game which sucks to watch as well as cramming our season into the smallest window possible.

What?

We play the last game in round 1 and the last game in round 23.

How is that cramming?

If people are going to complain about stuff at least make it like an actual real thing to complain about.

Only the fixture for the first 10 rounds is fixed for timeslots and dates.

Hugh?

How are we ranked 1st for degree of difficulty?

Geelong and Richmond twice wont be as daunting as previous years IMO.

Lions, Port, Melbourne and Bulldogs are the 2022 top 4 IMO and we play them once.

I just did the maths on that. The ranking (15th) was correct - just the opponents were incorrect (the quote from Nisbett was correct also - unless the dogs are setting up base at Optus).

Article was all over the shop.

Also, adding up the 2021 ladder position of double up opponents is a way to rank difficulty of the draw.... not a good way, but the way they have done it....

Once again Brisbane don't travel to play us here in Perth

Brisbane are the new Richmond to the AFL.

AFL House are desperate for either a NSW or QLD premier to help "grow the code".

 

[Obeanie1]

Those 3 6 day breaks early in the season blow, rest of it doesnt seem too bad.

I'd rather have 6 day breaks early in the season rather than late. The squad should be fit and not too banged up.

You don't want 6 day breaks late in the season when 3 quarters of the team are carrying niggles.

6 day breaks after a derby however is a bit of a joke. I'd like to say it's just another game but we know Freo don't see it that way.

This looks more close to the truth........

AFL 2022 fixture difficulty (Easiest to hardest)

1. Carlton
2. Adelaide Crows
3. West Coast Eagles
4. Gold Coast Suns
5. Hawthorn
6. Collingwood
7. North Melbourne
8. Richmond
9. Sydney Swans
10. Fremantle
11. Brisbane Lions
12. Geelong Cats
13. Port Adelaide
14. St Kilda
15. GWS Giants
16. Western Bulldogs
17. Essendon
18. Melbourne

Based on 2021 percentage of the teams they play twice in 2022

Eagles in marquee games

The West Coast Eagles will play a number of marquee matches at Optus Stadium against clubs expected to figure prominently in the quest for the 2022 premiership

Play Twice, First Four & Last Four is what has been proposed as our fixture, from bye round down is Bulldogs info. Just your usual run of the mill AFL incompetence.

Why does the club reveal say Adelaide Crom, for both matches, whereas every other team is spelled correctly?

Is there something I’m missing?

Adelaide Crumbs

 

[Keys]

Round 5 - 11 will tell us whether we’re a contender or not

Sydney (H)
Port (A)
Richmond (H)
Brisbane (A)
Melbourne (H)
GWS (A)
Bulldogs (H)

Six of last years finalists plus Richmond who, like us, will be hoping to rebound from a disappointing 2021

And I have no idea how the AFL can’t see that Brisbane won’t have played us at Optus. Ever. This is the 5th season we’ve been playing there

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The social media team however have earned their money this year .

Yeesh. Cringe.

Last two times we ended our season in Geelong were two of our greatest seasons ever so bring it on!!! ... 2008 and 2010

 

[06Premiers]

Can someone explain to me why Freo get 3 optus games in a row and we don’t? , we obviously request something else don’t know what it is tho maybe the 2 home games after the bye?

I'd much rather our fixture tbh. They start & end the season away, we at least start at home.

We go 6 home, 6 away before the bye then 6 home, 4 away after the bye.

They go 8 home, 5 away before the bye then 4 home, 5 away after the bye.
