Why the hell are people worried about the Cats and Dogs? We'll win 4 of 4 from those girls.

I know that. I was referring to how normally teams alternate home and away games. As last year vs Brisbane was also in Tassie, I would of expected we'd get the game up here. Instead it appears the current fixture system is no better than a lottery.
I'm also slightly peeved that the club appears to be comfortable with ignoring the large supporter base in QLD. It looks as if this is one of the unmentioned drawbacks of the Tasmanian deal, as all the focus has been on the loss of MCG games. Sure it's a MCG game being taken away, but you have to wonder if the AFL are purposely scheduling extra games vs interstate teams at home, just so they can be "taken away" and moved to Tassie. In reality I think it's us they are taking it away from.
You might be wondering, wouldn't Brisbane cry foul by losing a home game? Not really, because I'm sure the system would compensate them with another home game against a team that has to travel to them twice in two years.
Guess I'll have to wait till Gold Coast come about, which coincidentally is the year after in 2011. With two teams up here, the AFL then can afford to throw us a bone with the choice of two teams. Much like the "luxury" they have in WA and SA.
But anyway, enough of my ramblings.This is just a result of my general disappointment in the draw for us QLD fans. Overall I'm happy with it, but this has just put a damper on it.
You've got to remember we just about played in QLD every year since the Bears/Lions came into being
We're due for a dry spell

i think we got screwed!
geelong then bulldogs then collingwood.( although i do believe we can beat them)
then later in the year we have geelong WB Saint kilda and the lions.
other than that we did good

Either Geelong or the Bulldogs will fall significantly this year. Very rare do you have teams making the top 4 in so many consecutive years.
I am happy with this drawer - gives us a chance to rebound - HOWEVER - like Queensland supporters I am also pieved - Subiaco only holds 42,000 people with 39000 reserved for WA club members, 2000 for general admission and 1000 allocated for supporters of the opposition clubs. Hawks members in WA number in excess of 2000 with 500 Gold supporters guaranteed a ticket to a seat at the game (and also a ticket if the team made the Grand Final). This year most supporters got a ticket but next year it will be less than half.
I know I cant blame the club as the ground needs to be rebuilt however as we did in the 90's when the Hawks did not come to WA at all many members this year will simply be offering the club a donation with no benefit.
Maybe the membership for WA supporters could be changed - if you take a game seat you forgo the chance for a grand final seat - this means that WA supporters who are not guaranteed a game day seat can pay a little extra for membership to get a "grand final" seat if the team make it.
I love my Hawks and dont mind paying a membership when I know that I will get nothing in return however I know my wife in the end will close the book and say enough is enough.

FINGERS CROSSED THAT COLL,GEEL,ESS AND CARL(AT ES) ARE REPLACEMENT GAMES!!!!
That would be even better.
why the carlton game? noone will be able to get in.
Then we don't have to pay full admission price for a reserved seat!
idiot....
