Who Got The Worst Fixture?

[wez10000]

I know there is a thread on this in the mainboard but i thought i would put 1 in here with a poll on it.

Where's the poll?

from afl.com.au

KANGAROOS:
Football: The Kangas might just have the toughest draw of all and it will take a supreme effort by Dean Laidley's team to make the finals again. Not only do they meet five of last year's finalists twice - Fremantle and the Bulldogs are the only other teams to suffer this fate - but they face a punishing travel schedule. The Roos, like Hawthorn, play just 14 games in Victoria but of their eight interstate games, three are home matches in Canberra. But the Roos face two interstate trips (one a home game in Canberra) plus a trip to Geelong in the first four rounds and then from rounds 16 to 19 they face another three interstate trips, including facing Adelaide at AAMI and West Coast at Subiaco.
Commercial: As badly as the Roos have fared from a football perspective, they have fared well from the financial side of things and the 2006 draw should be a huge boost to the coffers of the cash-strapped club. The Roos not only have a home game on Easter Monday against Collingwood at Telstra Dome, which is the only game that day, but have been given Friday night home games at the Dome later in the season against Carlton and Essendon with the Carlton clash being the only game in Melbourne during the second half of the split round. All three games would be expected to draw crowds in excess of 50,000 to Telstra Dome.

The Kangaroos got absolutely dunced by it. Shocking draw.

 

[year of the roo]

The poll should only have 2 options - Dogs and Roos. Everyone else got a fair go.

 

[Fraz]

Tigers and Roos got shocking draws.

 

[Bretski]

from what ive heard, the dockers have it pretty tough

 

[Tredders66]

Have a look at Ports last month. We easily have the worst!

 

[Arabian Goggles]

Freo and the Roos got reamed. Although the Dockers have 11 home games, so the ball is in their court to win them.

Port haven't got a bad draw, they're just being whiny bitches.

i could be wrong but dont the kangas and doggies get cash from the afl to keep going.also dont they get cash for playing elsewhere instead of home like melb going to brissi.

What has that got to do with which teams you play once and which teams you play twice? That fact is more important than where the games are played most of the time.

Every clubs gets money from the AFL, every year. It is just that some get more than others to make up for shortfalls in membership numbers, corporate support, and attendance.

Diddums.

We have to visit your wretched state (SA) twice again. Now that is something worth whining about!

 

[dockers_bengals]

in that case flame the roos have the worse draw.why do eagles and freo have huge different fixtures.this is the third year in a row freo has had a tough draw compared to the eagles.why do roos and doggies have tough draws when sydney won the flag and have a easier one,shouldnt it be the other way around.i think its connected to the tribunal system somehow.
