Now some of that really sucks grr

jezza · Sep 30, 2004

Only one friday night match and mostly sunday games, not really what I prefer in a draw. Opponent wise it's not too bad, playing some lower sides twice. First 8 games in Melbourne. Only have to travel to Subi once, Adelaide once and to the gabba and skilled stadium.

tiger1980 · Sep 30, 2004

Only 3 interstate games 11 MCG games 7 Telstra Dome games 1 at Geelong 6 NIGHT games 16 DAY games 1 friday n game 9 sat games 12 sun games :

madtiger2005 · Sep 30, 2004

apart from only 1 fri night game, this draw is great. Easiest draw we have had in ages. We will have to win games and get our Friday night games back the year after. 7 night games all up

kretchy · Sep 30, 2004

Do we ask to play some home games at Telstra Dome? Or do the AFL make us play some there? I'd rather them all at the G.

Apart from that nothing to complain about.

sante · Sep 30, 2004

we have the best draw.......only 3 interstate matches plus one at Skilled Stadium...the 1st 8 are in Vic, we should have a good start to the year

The AFL were forcing the club to play 2/3 home games (at a loss at the time) there so the club did a deal to play 4 to at least make some money out of it. I'd prefer to be allowed to play home games at your home ground of choice. Also, Adl and P. Adl would be keen to play at the MCG, I'm sure a deal could be done to get that to happen (once the Dome deal ends).

Great draw.

Based on recent years, we'll be 5 and 3 after round 8 (the 5 being say Hawks; Dogs; Freo; Carl; Coll) just to tease our cox and get the membership numbers (not to mention hopes) up.

Then the annual reality check can start with a trip to the Gabba Rd 9.

itsintheblood · Sep 30, 2004

We cannot complain about this draw. It's a ripper. Cannot blame a tough draw for our failures next year.

mellowyellow · Sep 30, 2004

Poor results and crowd numbers over the last few season is the principle reason why we have only 1 friday night game. No way this will improve until we do.

Happy with the draw overall although a few more Saturday matches would have been a better outcome.

3 interstate games.... big thumbs up

craz619 · Sep 30, 2004

very ********ed off man i am, as i play soccer all day on sundays so i will miss out big time next year but very happy with 3 interstate

Only 9 games at the MCG our home ground, what a joke
3 interstate games, a rare good point,
a trip to Geelong, why
1 Friday night game, easy to see the AFL hate us

IT'S UP TO US TO FIGHT FOR A BETTER DEAL
IN FUTURE DRAWS.

Tigeritis · Sep 30, 2004

The draw is the best we can hope for after recent seasons. Good to see a minimum of interstate matches - one of our biggest weaknesses is winning on the road. Not keen on all these Sundays.

thats gotta be a first they always play at the mcg

What a joke. We play our last MCG game of the year in Round 16. After that we go to adelaide, perth, the spitdome and geelong.
We'd better be at least 10 wins by then or were no hope.
Lets look at our home games.
Geelong, Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Carlton, West Coast, Adelaide, Sydney, Essendon, St.Kilda, Bulldogs, Hawthorn.
We'll have only 2 games that will be big crowds and good to the pocket-Carlton and Essendon. We won't get much out of anything else(we seem to offer saints a home game privelidge for their tassie matches).
Overall we'll be lucky to get 20000 members and will record another huge loss Thanks AFL for nothing

Mog · Oct 1, 2004

Perhaps if we'd won a few games this year we might have been "rewarded" by the AFL. So blame the sorry bunch of players we had this year, not the league.

I dont now- you traditionally get big crowds against Carlton and Essendon.

But over the last 20 years you have always got a great crowd against Hawthorn.

If both teams are around 10th or 11th youll easilly get 45 000 to that game.

Our draw is the same as the 2nd and 3rd biggest co tenants of the MCG, I think its a disgrace how we both only get 3 friday night games between us while Melbourne-the smallest co tenant gets 3 friday night games!!!!!!!!!!

There's a first, someone blaming our crappy players for playing crappilly (think that has two l's), and not our gooba coach for coaching gooberly!!!

SaveFeriss · Oct 1, 2004

Best draw I can ever remember us having.

Pity we're probably at our weakest list wise atm.. But good draw.

Very happy.

Sorry Balmain, have to disagree with you on a few points.

I think the draw is fantastic for us. We are in the process of rebuilding not only the squad, but the whole club, and therefore, probably would struggle to draw the big crowds anyway.

Another thing, I am extremely confident that we will have more members than this year. We have finally got ourselves a coach, and supporters can finally see that the club is taking the long and hard road to achieving success.

IMO, there is not a more exciting time to be a member of the Tiger Army!
