The Official AFL 2009 Draw Discussion

[The Zebra]

IN this draw, a top 6 finish is just about a cert for Carlton in 2009 ...

IF you weren't Carlton.

 

[Crypt Keeper]

LOL it's back to that stupid system they had this year, where the draw is totally out of whack (and some teams play each other twice in the first 8/9 rnds)

Carlton doesn't play the Dees till rnd 21 for the first time for instance, but that is fine, cause we basically play other teams twice that I think we are better then (IE Brisbane, Richmond, Essendon etc) so it's all good news ...

The friday night games are a big boost as well and far less sunday games (only 3)

But both games at he Bulldogs' home ground? Just dumb.

 

[The Punter]

That Freo/WC alternate weeks has always been the case.

Also, St Kilda (by my estimation) play 12 games on Foxtel.

The more I look at it, the more I am convinced this ain't the fixture.

 

[Effes]

Rather arrogant from Celtic

You can't mark down any games as wins.

'Leaked' draw in the sun still not on AFL website. Won't count my chickens til I see it up there...

ROUND 10

SUNDAY, MAY 31

Collingwood v Port Adelaide MCG (T)

Since when do the AFL play Sunday twilight games at the 'G??
Like the punter said this is not the real fixture. I'll wait until the AFL confirms the fixture thanks

Richmond played 2 last year.

And yet we still managed to thump you twice this year, I hate so see the scoreline when we are a "better" team than you, it will probably be enough to make you change teams again.

Must be October - Carlton fans talking up finals.

It's the real draw...matches pretty much all the leaks.

11 night games for Carlton

Means only 10 or 11 5am wakeups for me in London

 

[HBF]

Think I counted Carlton travels 6 times, with one of them a home game vs Fremantle on the Gold Coast. An early prognosis seems to think that we got a reasonable draw.

 

[Athomas]

Carlton has a mad draw.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

this draw is bullsh1t. Not on any of the websites unless it mysteriously got pulled within mins of being on there.
The AFL said no team would play eachother twice within the 10 rounds, this leads me to believe this draw is wrong or the AFL are liars......... oh wait.....

 

[lion_gooner]

what a load of shit brisbane having to go to the shithole dump in rd 5

hopefully that will be the last time i ever have to go there

 

[S.Patrol.G]

Well if this is the draw all I can say as a Port fan is - SUNDAY, BL00DY SUNDAY!!

Are Brisbane folding?

 

[krusden]

if it ain't the draw someone has put a lot of work into a pile of crap then!

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

So let me get this staright. Collingwood have to play the Bulldogs twice within 7 weeks ... at Etihad Stadium, which is the Bulldogs' home ground ... riiiight! How the f*ck does that even make sense?

We play them both times Friday night at the TD

You sure showed us this season!

 

[Midnight Vultures]

This has to be false, it has Melbourne playing away until Round 5.

 

[Kramer1]

A little sensitive perhaps??? He thinks Carlton are a better team at this point int ime...so do I, and many others.

We rolled Collingwood twice, but little doubt they were the better team over the year.

Home game round 1

 

[jonesy86]

Why would Collingwood's 4 games at the dome be against Melbourne teams? (NM, STK and WBx2)

And why would our 2 home games there be against TD tennants STK and WB? Surely the AFL would maximise attendances by having those games at the 'G and put our home games against interstate teams at TD.

 

[Midnight Vultures]

Home game round 1

Ahh, didn't notice. Still, the draw seems bogus.
