Melbourne had to go to Perth Rd22 this year & Kangaroos went to the Gabba, or do you think only the Vic teams should travel in RD 22.

No your paranoia is making you the fool.Carlton God said:
Your lack of competitiveness over the past couple of years and the fact you play a fair percentage of your games at Optus Oval is what has been costing you free to air games.
You also chose to ignore that channel 9 pick their games before the season starts when you claimed the AFL did in previous posts.

I was referring to the fact that before we had the Showdown in the last round we had to play in Perth twice in three years in the last round. In previous two years I think no Melbourne teams travelled.
Our only choice seems to be Port or Perth in the last round. Two of the hardest jobs in football.

Round 1 v Port should be a cracker!
i think they should have both the showdown and the derby in rd.22Jars458 said:
too bad if u play port, the afl isnt going to see that and say, well thats a hard game, lets let them play collingwood and have an easy win.

I would of loved a Hawk Essendon opening game.
Then youve probably get a 37,000 32,000 split rather then the enedable 50 000, 9 000 your gonna experience now.
Very dissapointed indeed!

Does Collingwood have a phobia about playing the Eagles in Perth? I would have thought that game would have had to be played in Perth seeing the last time the 2 teams met at Subi was 2002.

it's too much having a derby on the last round. it takes too much out of the teams, especially if they have to travel the next week in the finals
i also heard that the Crows will be playing WC at Subi in round 22
i DONT SEE THE POINT.Marns said:
After all comparing our statements to yours is laughable hahahaha.
We are guarnteed of survival.
We are being given by the masses of the East the best facilities in Australia-Stand alone that is.
Theres even talk of it better then the Lexus Centre.
So what about Melbourne.
Thee team without a home,the team with the lowest supporterbase in the league,and the team the produce 1,000,000 dollar loses even after the finish 5th after the home and away season.
What a future Melbourne has..........

Is this the same team that drew 11,000 to a game against Port Adelaide talking?
We had a protest game, against the wrath of Peter Scwabb, dont think its done our chances of football proffection any good.bOmBeR_BoY1 said:
btw, we got over 50 000 against you this year?
Isnt that fair enough, it was a fair blend of both supporters

Agree with the Derby explination, its all well and good to play at home leading up to finals, but from what I know of Derbys/Showdowns, the feeling is they are mini-finals to themselves, far too much hype and pressure in R22.
It will be interesting to see who travels to Subi in R22, I was told it was our turn in the reverse of the Aurora Stadium (York Park) Round 2 fixture against the Dockers. In light of our less tham sparkling road record, I'd personally prefer to play the TD or (ideally) the MCG in the lead up to a likley finals berth in 2005.
We'll see, I suppose.

I was there that afternoon and for a Hawthorn home game there was a disturbing amount of red and black, at least 60% of the crowd were Bomber fans especially on level 1 of the GSS. Crowd noise was a good indicator too, although there was little for the Hawks to cheer about that day.

I don't care what anyone says about Collingwood, a home game against them on a Friday Night can only be good for North.
Hawkk said:
I actually didn't mean any offense to the hawks, but I was referring to one of the big 3 ie Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton. I think if you look back at this year we had more people go to our games than Hawthorn did, and if you don't count pet membership we probably have more members.
I can't wait till school holidays is over...
