Round 1, 2014. Who do you want?

[mrtwister 652]

With the release of the draw looming and with a renewed sense of confidence brewing, who would you like to see us take on for Round 1, 2014?
Obviously we can rule out Syd, GWS, Carl and Rich. Chances are it will be a bottom 8 side too.
Thoughts?

Can we not play the fr&/&king Hawks first up please. Some easy beats early would be good but just who they are is interesting. We don't get to play Vermont or Blackburn for points do we?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

A WIN!

[tonatopia 278]

try putting every team, next time.

we should play sydney

[mrtwister 652]

Apologies. I thought the new tradition was for Syd to play GWS round 1.

[Sideshow Bob 2,365]

Koo Wee Rup thirds, we could beat them...... maybe

Seriously don't care as long a we get a 'good' amount of home games against the Vic. If the G is unavailable round 1 due to stupid cricket rules I would rather be away interstate than here at docklands

[titan_uranus 24,984]

My guess is we'll get someone 'beatable', like St Kilda, Gold Coast in Melbourne, the Bulldogs, or West Coast in Melbourne.

[P-man 13,366]

I don't want the Saints cause if we lose, where to from there? Defeatist? Maybe.

I want winnable, but justifiable if we lose. West Coast.

[Adam The God 30,209]

Sydney will be fixtured against Hawthorn first. Surely. Capitalise on the Buddy defection. I'm happy with whomever. It'd be nice to get someone relatively bottom 8ish though. I get what you mean though, P. Aren't we defeatists.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

I reckon Saints @ Etihad....we haven't won there since I uttered my first curse word and that was last century.

Let's hit the ground running!

[Wormburner 674]

I don't want to be smashed like round 1 last year - It was shattering!

[Grimseyisgod 378]

thats why i picked a team like Adelaide, completely agree.

dont want to "ruin"the season.. Sad truth

[What 18,810]

My prediction is the Bulldogs at the G'

[mrtwister 652]

The Hawks can't play the Swans and neither can we. I knew I'd read this somewhere.

Admirable sentiment bb but highly unlike we would get within ten Goals.

We should all remember that the MCG is unavailable the first week of the AFL season so we will be at the Dome of death or interstate.

Hence why I put the word beatable in quotation marks.

I either did not know or forget. Please tell me why that is the case OD?

The season starts a week earlier in 2014 meaning Cricket still has the ground.

I heard on SEN on Friday.

They were talking about Carlton and Richmond having to wait your round 2.

[monoccular 17,418]

WHO DO I WANT?

Clark and Dawes on the ground on the same day !

[Carlos Danger 380]

Norf at Etihad.

Either get an honest appraisal of how far we still have to go or we can finally put 2 ugly records to rest.

It would certainly be a challenge to kill two dragons at the one blow.

Go for it!

Make a statement.

I want North at the G and Brent Harvey taken off on a stretcher after meeting Jesse Hogan.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

That is awesome that everyone is voting St Kilda, we all want an easy kill.

I think in 2014 the Dees will be a different outfit.
