When is the fixture for our last game being released?

Meant to be released after Round 21 [this weekend] according to Morris

I thought we'd be sure to get the Friday night with Essendon right up there but given there season will likley be shot by then, perhaps it'll be Satturday twilight or the early Sunday game.

I am tipping a Sunday game.

 

[Perrip]

WB v GWS, Lions v Dons, or Freo v Port is most likely for the Friday game I reckon

Don't think it'll be WB vs. GWS unless Ballarat has appropriate light towers and Freo vs. Port will probably be played at Sunday twilight as the climax.

Reckon it will be Brisbane vs. Essendon (Saturday Night) - Melbourne vs. Collingwood (Friday Night) Ch7 matches.

I can't see it being Freo v Port - no vic team usually means no friday night.

 

[KissKiss]

Freo Port might be held to the Sunday as they want to leave the drama right to the end. Same with Dogs vs GWS

Saturday will get all the meaningless games that likely won't change any results. I suspect ours might end up in that bucket

Ch7 will probably host the Bulldogs vs. Giants match in sunday afternoon slot, so that would leave:

FRIDAY
Melbourne vs. Collingwood (7.10pm) (MCG)*

SATURDAY
Hawthorn vs. North Melbourne (1.40pm) - (UTAS)
Sydney vs. Adelaide (1.45pm) - (SCG)
Geelong vs. West Coast (4.35pm) - (GHMBA)
Carlton vs. St. Kilda (7.20pm) - (Marvel)
Brisbane vs. Essendon (7.40pm) - (GABBA)*

SUNDAY
Richmond vs. Gold Coast (12.40pm) - (MCG)
Western Bulldogs vs. GWS (2.50pm) - (Ballarat)*
Fremantle vs. Port Adelaide (4.40pm) - (OPTUS)

* - Channel 7 Matches

Pretty underwhelming final Round really.

If the AFL is considering Dees v Pies or Lions v Dons for Friday night, as the Herald Sun suggested a few weeks ago, surely our game would make more sense?

It would, but given that the AFL probably doesn't want Carlton and Collingwood matches being played simultaneously as they are biggest Victorian clubs, can see one of them being moved to the Friday night slot (to please broadcasters) and our match on Saturday night away from Melbourne market.

 

[Tom14]

When is the fixture for our last game being released? I need to organise something else that weekend but don’t know when to do it because we don’t have a fixture. Or am I missing something?

God the AFL is annoying.

Mike whiting posted in the roar deal members Facebook that the club is expecting a sat arvo/twilight game.

Any word on when the Freo v Port game is?

Didn’t mention it - hopefully at the same time.

So I can finally stop listening to BT, Brayshaw and Darcy. Problem is, does that mean the only alternative will be the likes of Kelly Underwood, Ricciuto, Brereton, Dwayne Russell calling games from a studio in Melbourne? I hope that Fox employs local commentators and in the very least call games at the ground.

Here we go - the AFL has gone full NBC on us now. So in other words, people getting promoted given opportunity purely based on their gender / background and thats not discrimiating?

Perhaps I spoke too soon and BT and Brayshaw are good for the game with this absurd announcement. Cue the mute button. Another genuius move by the imbecile that is Laura Kane.

I think you're contradicting your own point in this post

My first reaction to this was great. The standard of commentary is atrocious, its very clear that almost no-one in the system is appointment by merit. So anything to improve it would be a good idea.

Then I realised most of the best commentators are older white males. And then there is a heap of crappy boys club ex-players who are also mostly older white males. I think its pretty clear which one the broadcasters will stick with, and its not going to be the better commentators

Wouldn't this have been done while Gil was still AFL CEO?

 

[McIvor]

Our record is all the more impressive looking at this and the Suns, well, pathetic really as pointed out on TRSF.

 

[McIvor]

Top 4 are all non Victorian teams

Surely this requires an inquiry? Unfair fixture review coming up.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Some experts will now be saying that the Bulldogs are the only in form team now the Hawks lost. Followed by some muttering that oh yes, the Lions have also won 9 in a row.

plays game #150 for the Lions against GWS after playing 73 with the Crows and qualifies for Lions Life Membership and in his 7 years at the club, has only missed 10 games.

On top of all of that, he's clearly brought tens of thousands to the Gabba and lit it up with Harley Charlie, Country Roads and everything else that puts bums on seats.

Darcy Wilmot also plays game #50 having made his debut in the Final against Richmond and has not missed a single game since debut.

Damn, Story Bridge looks awesome in Lions colours
