Thursday night suck's for me. Out of bed at 4.40am during the week. 4.40pm Sundays are marginal.

I work arvos so it sucks for me too.

 

[DapperDon]

Playing Geelong twice in 2025.

Maybe next season is the one they finally fall off the cliff, we might still be in the game 3rd quarter.

 

[eth-dog]

Sydney, Geelong, Carlton, WB, GC and Richmond double ups

 

[jannissary]

no pies twice? interesting

Counterpoint is that we've not had Carlton or Richmond for 4-5 years now

guess that’s true! i do like playing collingwood, especially when we win. nothing feels better (except finals success)

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Cats at GMHBA, what in the amateur leagues is that?

I don't really mind.

Looks good first glance

Playing a team at their home ground. Amazing.

 

[eth-dog]

Two top 6, two middle 6, two bottom 6. 5 away, 1 neutral, 1 Geelong, 16 Melbourne

 

[mike14]

3 x top-6 finishers, 1 middle-6, 2 x bottom-6 for the double ups.
Doubt it will matter much but aren't you meant to play most double-ups against teams in your 'bracket'?

Calculated after finals. Bulldogs are middle 6

Ahh, that (sort of) makes more sense

Where are our additional MCG Games? Carlton got 2 more. Go and get fk'ed

How does melbournes draw look?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Playing a team at their home ground. Amazing.

It’s a shit stadium that should be knocked down and rebuilt with the right dimensions. It’s literally a different sport there.

 

[Dave]

Playing a team at their home ground. Amazing.

When do we get to do it against them?

Tough fixture at first blush, two trips to Perth,away to both Grand Finalists. Double ups against 4 of last year’s finalists. Will be doing well if we play finals (no I don’t see it happening).

 

[jdwood]

How does melbournes draw look?

Insanely soft.

They play 1 top 8 team (Hawthorn) twice.

They get North, WC, GC and StK twice.

The trade for their F1 gets worse by the day.

 

[eth-dog]

Melbourne finished bottom 6. Are people expecting them to get a hard draw after that? People are overreacting.

Don't care if it's a hard draw. Carlton was two wins ahead of 14th, Dogs 3 wins. Both had significant poor patches over the past 3 seasons. Gold Coast generally fade late in season. Geelong are due a down year.

In the end, if we make finals from this draw it shows our improvement.

 

[Zach Package]

Looking forward to North ending Brad’s coaching career in a nice traditional footy timeslot

 

[Hazardinho]

This fixture list has just confirmed to me one thing… welcome to Essendon Dyson Sharpe with pick 1.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

So we get 12 games against the top 8, everyone else gets less.

We get 6 games against top 4, everyone bar Freo gets less. WTF!!
