Lift your game Jen (missed Round 6 @ Gabba)

So ive been told haha
But I didn't mention that because we always know when we're playing Lions

 

[celestial]

Thats 3 prime time games we have been given, curious to see how many more we are awarded. . Think our off season additions will see us be rewarded with a fair few prime time slots.

The fixture isn't catered to who you recruited in the offseason but more how you performed the previous year, which is why Hawks will feature a lot in prime time.

Yes but it is also a projection business just as much as it is based on past seasons performance.

Why is Collingwood v Carlton Thursday night?

Except when Ginnivan leaves the Pies to the Hawks and that becomes the feature match of Gather Round lol

Or Henry joining Geelong.

The AFL will milk whatever they can.

Why not?

Is it a Public holiday the next day?

 

[BillyElliott]

Is it a Public holiday the next day?

No clue. There are 23 matches on a Thursday night. I'm sure they don't all have a public holiday the next day, why should ours?

Figured that was a likely possibility, to have Houston come straight out of his suspension ready to send his old club crashing back to earth.

If it is, it wouldn't be much smaller.

Definitely not a negative for anyone attending. Quicker access for food, drinks & toilet. So it doesn't bother me.

Sounds like a recipe for injuries

 

[Pistol Night]

Nothing we can’t win in that lot

 

[Jen2310]

5 of last years finalists.
As if anyone ever thought we would get an easy fixture lol

But of course the truth is in the pudding, you wont know how sides will perform, improve or stagnate yet

I assume with the vast amount of time between the games it's not an actual double header with the ability to see both games. Because there will be no tickets available if that's the case.
