2009 Fixture Requests

[Trisul 649]

An interesting post from THE EQUALIZER here saying that the AFL have requested that clubs detail their wishes for the 11 home games. Somewhat cat and mouse given you have to predict the thoughts of the 15 other clubs, but history shines some light about. Thoughts? I'll post an attempt after dinner

1 or 2 sunday games in Melbourne not all sundays!

[Pates 9,537]

More than one night game, and less Sunday games. That's all i really want from them as long as they put all home games at the G (apart from the sold one/s obviously).

Please... give us a break from ALL Sunday games, especially 1.10 games and twilight games....and home interstate games on a Sunday. ..........THANKYOU AFL !!!! :angry:

- QB v Collingwood

- Two home games in Canberra

- All other home games at the 'G

- Spread of days/times

I hate nothing more than when we play late on a Sunday. No more twilight games, no Sunday games at Subi.

I have a young cousin from a Collingwood family who I've converted, and his even younger brother is susceptible to persuasion. Unfortunately, I can't take them along to Sunday games because the older brother plays footy. His dad and eldest brother are whispering in his ear to go back to the Pies and I fear with another draw like this years we'll lose them.

Don't tell Demetriou this. There's nothing he'd like more than for us to dissapear.

1) QB vs Collingwood (preferably our home match)

2) At least 4 matches at night-time, of which at least 2 are Friday night

3) No more than 2 twilight games (one of which is likely to be in Perth)

4) Home matches at MCG (i.e. not Dome) except for 2 matches in Canberra

just make it no twilight games. no one likes them.

I agree, but I get the feeling the AFL is too stubborn to remove them.

Dear Sir Alex Demetriou (and his muppet Adrian Anderson),

My wish list (I have put a bit of thought into this): -

We at MFC would like: -

1 x QB Home Game at G on Monday v Collingwood

3 x Friday Night Home games (not 1); including one on Good Friday(Night) - controversial I know......

3 x Home Games at the G on a Saturday (2.10pm bounce);

2 x Canberra Home games (agree Rogue)

2 x Home games at the G on a Sunday (2.10pm bounce)

And Interstate fixtures against Sydney at ANZ Stadium; Hawthorn in Launceston; 2 trips to Subiaco; 1 trip to AAMI.

Total = 5 Interstate trips

And away games against: - Bulldogs, Kangaroos, Carlton, Richmond, St.Kilda and Geelong. With the Bulldogs and Carlton games being ticketed for members courtesy of the 2 games in Canberra.

Regards,

High Tower.

Don't forget our youth blockbuster!

Maybe the Pope can come

First off, you do know it's Andrew, not Alex?

I personally wouldn't want a match on Good Friday (day or night), but that's just me.

Those 2 trips to Subiaco are likely to be Sunday Twilight. MFC would never play at ANZ Stadium (and judging by the surface, I doubt the MFC would want to), but other than that, it sounds alright to me. Probably not enough matches at the G (only 11).

[Deeoldfart 7,820]

What others have said about Melbourne's draw, plus C'wood to have at least their share of interstate games.

Apologies re: Alex, where did I get Alex from? I meant Andrew.

Probably got Alex from Jesaulenko during a brain fade lapse.....

Regarding the matches at the G, away games at the G to Richmond, Kangaroos and Carlton, bring the tally to 12. 2 games at the Dome in Bulldogs and St.Kilda, and 1 at Skilled.

I like that draw plan HT

[H_T 2,941]

I like that draw plan HT

Sometimes to get your the Home games you want ie Friday night games/blockbusters, you have to give a little to the AFL, so lets put our hands up for next year and give to the AFL 5 interstate trips in return.

The benefit is our young players get used to travelling, in preparation for a rapid improvement for the 2010 season. Then we'll ask for just 3 interstate trips in 2010 with more games at our G!!!!!!!!!!

Let's plan for our players I say!
