Is this the actual draw for 2009 ?

Never mind it's one you've made up.

I don't like the 5 day break between Round 8 and 9 especially against Collingwood and Dogs

It's an 8 Day Break, we play Collingwood on the Friday Night (Yeah, it's my Birthday!), and the Bulldogs on Saturday.
Don't you mean Round 7 and Round 8?

Stuff up?
Geez, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?!
You're a Bandwagoner!!!!!

when is the actual fixture released?

Last year it came out in late October.
However, Andy said this time they would commence work on the Fixture immediately after the (Sigh) Grand Final.

Personally I want the fixture to be as tough and unfair as possible - in a competitive and not in a commercial sense. We need to play more meaningful matches.

Agree. hard matches later in the season didnt mean much.

Round 10- We have not played Brisbane at the GABBA since 2006

We actually played there in last round of 2007 when Egan injured himself....

But i'll happily take more games up this way anyday

 

[Poetic Justice]

Glad to see two Collingwood matches, that'd be great!

Apart from that massive 'Blunder', I totally agree with you mate!

Totally agree with you, mate!
We need to play Collingwood, Hawthorn, St. Kilda, Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne all twice!
Would also like to see 9 Home Games at Skilled Stadium (Will never happen though!).

HI all,

I've written a tool to generate calendars for importing for any team (or all teams), with custom reminders etc.
It produces CSV and ICS (iCal) files, as well as PDF (no reminders obviously!).
It works with Outlook, iCal, Google Calendar etc etc.

It can be found here:

Please take a look, and leave comments, ideas etc if you like.

Thanks
Scott
