Re: Fixture 2010

Just gone over it quickly, but two vs Melbourne, Geelong, Essendon, Collingwood and Doggies.

Like that.

+ Port

Rounds 2, 3, 4 will be huge for us. Need a good start.

Looks great, I haven't been this excited since the wife suggested we get the Adult channel on Foxtel.

Re: Fixture 2010

with 4 Tassie games, 7 is the max for MCG home games.

Yeah but 5 away G, 12 games total is awesome.

Are opposition clubs requesting hamoe game against us?

Are we climbing the unofficial rankings of blockbuster status clubs?

AFL Karma for our contribution to Tas?

Total MCG games C'wood 14 Haw 12

Re: Put your post Draw whinge here;

Must be the first time ever that we haven't been travelling interstate (excluding Tas) a bajillion times a season.

Re: Fixture 2010

Good for $$$ and crowds.

Pretty happy with the fixture for us.

2 games against Port Bombers Cats and Pies will give us plenty to look forward to this year...

 

[WooDawg]

Wanted a reason to go to Queensland next year, but other than that it's an absolute ripper!

Re: Put your post Draw whinge here;

• Worst thing imo is that we only play Carlton, our bitches, once, and it's at Ethiad The AFL will never learn.
• Our 4 Friday night games are all in the the 2nd half of the season.
• Saints only once... in round 17

Awesome draw

Slightly concerned with the amount of travel leading up to finals...

A home game against Port is nothing to look forward to imo. Prefer Carlton.

Happy to play the Dons in Round 6...

6 days after their ANZAC Day match

Be a shame if they were a little sore..

Also play Port 6 days after the "showdown" in round 18...

And wait for it...

We play the Eagles 6 days after their "Derby"...

These little things in the fixture could be like absolute gold!!!!!!!

Re: Fixture 2010

1. Melb (Away)
2. Geel (Home)
3. WB (Away)
4. Coll (Away)
5. NM (Home - Tas)
6. Ess (Away)
7. WCE (Away)
8. Rich (Away)
9. Carl (Away)

1 home game at the G and 1 at Aurora in the 1st 9 rounds. Pretty shit for our membership drive!

 

[The Kipster]

only 1 Subi game
8 Foxtel games

12 MCG games
4 Friday night games


7 Sunday games (hung over Monday )

Over-all

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This must be fake. It's just too good!???

Teams play twice:
Melbourne
Essendon
Collingwood
Bulldogs
Geelong
Sydney
Port Adelaide

Travel:
Aurora: 4 (NM, Adel, Bris and Freo
Subiaco: 1 (WCE)
AAMI: 1 (Port Adelaide)
SCG: 1 (Sydney)

The travel is amazing!
We only have to play adelaide once, and it's in Tasmania!

That is crazy

St Kilda only once

Hopefully Geelong have their expected fall from grace this year.

Very happy with that!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Very happy with that fixture. If I was to be critical the only thing I could fault is only getting Carlton once (and at ethihad which is odd when carlton play a home game against the dees at the G). Also we get Sydney away (when was the last time we won in Sydney???????????????????????). But seriously great draw.

Should be some massive home games against Geelong (easter monday??????), Essendon on a friday night and collingwood in round 22.

 

[market]

Very happy with that draw. Only have to visit Subi once and no visit to play Adelaide at AAMI (which for us, seems to be the toughest trip of all)...

A closer look shows we may be 2-2 after 4 rounds, then if all going as one would expect - potentially rounds 5-11 all looking good.

Horror stretch is rounds 14-19 Western Bulldogs, Cats, Lions, Saints, Port (AAMI), Swans (SCG) (those last 2 playing adelaide and then sydney - arrgh).....

With 3 good games to finish off season melb(mcg), freo (aurora) and pies (mcg).

Overall, I reckon 8/10 for the draw....of course could always be better, but if you offered that before we knew about it - take it definitely.

 

[JezzHawk]

We play Geelong, Doggies, Collingwood, Melbourne and Scum twice.

 

[Martello mania]

Great draw, more good than bad, notice how the top three teams from this year only have to play each other once!

 

[Crazyhawk]

According to the fixture on the AFL website, we play Collingwood at 12:00am on the Friday night in round 22. Interesting

What are the AFL thinking, surely it would be good for TV ratings and crowds to have Saints vs Geelong twice

Re: Fixture 2010

Melb round 1 is a home game

Away for us according to the AFL website

Re: Fixture 2010

My mistake then

Re: Fixture 2010

Rounds 14-19 are difficult but other than that I'm fairly happy..
