Fixture 2024 Official Fixture Whinge

[Hawk88]

Certainly looks like we got dudded but i never take to much stock in the fixture as teams from year to year drop in form or gain form so we wont know how good the fixture is until 5-6 games into 2024

No Thursday and Friday games work perfectly for me because i can take my son to more games

Not great revenue wise for the club though

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

That hardest to easiest fixture image is great. You would think we're a challenging team looking that the list around us!

"Steel sharpens steel"

 

[peetoo]

People seem to overlook that the back end of the fixture is in our hands. Win some game early or even in the middle and we could very well be playing Richmond, Collingwood and Carlton at the MCG on a Friday night.

I’m glad our players don’t wave the white flag as quickly as some of our supporters do.

Given they triggers the cats in their recent charades video, after losing to them by 82 points let’s hope they have the ‘steely resolve’

Didn’t mind the trigger by the way

 

[PT Bar None]

Anywhere, anytime.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Anywhere, anytime.

As long as we don't start off like we ended vs Freo (pathetic) then i'll be happy

 

[extractasam]

So up until the rolling fixture it will be over 2 seasons since our last prime time game. Even North Melbourne has had more!

Melb based hawks fans haven’t been able to attend a prime time game in Melbourne since 2019 v North if I recall

Testify!

Freo under Longmuir have our measure. We haven't beaten them under his tenure.

Add them to the Richmond, Melbourne, GWS, Saints, Port, Suns, Blues list

Sorry, but I don't get it.
We beat Saints in 2023. Port + Suns in 2022, from memory.

Don't think GG is implying they are unbeaten against us - just that they have pretty good records against us as of late.

Ah... got it!
I thought the context was that we'd not beaten freo under Longmuir's reign & GG was adding a bunch of other clubs we'd not beaten in that time.

Suns aren't a real thing so I couldn't care less, but having a losing record against clubs like carltank & melbourne is just weird...

[hawk for 37]

Over this carry on.

Finishing 16th and 15 teams above them in 2023...

How can a bottom 3 team not have a tough draw when 15 teams are better than them on exposed form?

Wow WCE copes a tough draw for finishing last!

No, no. This isn't the place to realise other teams have copped a tough draw for finishing at the bottom of the ladder. Please stick to the approved woe is us style of messaging please.

They all seem to get us more times than not.
Next year, would love beating that lot!

 

[Blackhawk42]

Would be nice to play West Coast twice.

Aside from that I'm not really sure why everybody is complaining so much.

We were never getting any free to air primetime games. Doesn't mean we won't on the run home if we perform though.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The fixture goes straight into Moorey's little black book that he keeps of people who don't think the Hawks can be anything.

Idk what’s worse the whinging or the whinging about the whinging.

Or, the whinging about “the whinging or the whinging about the whinging”
