2014 Fixture: Hopes and Expectations?

With the 2014 Fixture being released on the 31st of October, what are your hopes and expectations for the coming year of matches?

Will the AFL hand us a dream draw so that we have the best possible chance of successful year? Will we be given any Friday night games? How many interstate trips will we have to make? Do we still play a home interstate game? How many Sunday vs Saturday games will we play? What is your preference of playing days? Will we be shafted with more Sunday twilight games?

I know we don't have much of a leg to stand on in regards to making demands but what do you hope for and what do you expect will happen?

    Hopes 14-15 games at the G very few at Etihad, No games sold. Only one excursion to qld, nsw, SA, and WA respectively. 2-3 friday nighters. No Sunday evening death games. Half a dozen Sat ARVO games ( like they used to f'n be ) . No games at Skilled

    Expectations ? None of the above

    Got a feeling we might be off to Perth in round 1.

    Can't complain as we haven't travelled interstate in round 1 since 1998.

    That would work for me

    Dont give a rats provided I get all home games at the G.

    From a selfish point of view I'd love us to have a couple of interstate games around Easter as I'll be overseas.

    From a non selfish point of view, my one hope is that we don't play down in Geelong. But we will.

    Definitely no home games at Docklands. Maximum G games. QB home game. 22 games v GWS.

    The sooner we get rid of the Darwin nonsense the better.

  • Quote

    None at Deathlands, most at the G, but on a Saturday!!! 3 Friday and 4 Saturday night games on FTA

    Hopes: never again at Doglands, or at least no home games there - Expectations: 2 home games at Doglands, against teams who play their home games there ie Saints, Dogs, Norf

    Hopes: no more WA / SA / NSW / QLD games than Collingwood get - Expectations: >6 games at those venues

    Hopes: bye after any Darwin game (and, showing my evenhandedness, any team who plays there should get the same relief) - Expectations: Norf or Saints at Doglands the following week

    Hopes: no late Sunday games, especially at Doglands - Expectations: at least two

    I just don't want to play at Geelong next year and have more Saturday than Sunday games. I'd also like some home games against other Vic clubs and not play on Easter Sunday, Mothers Day or Greek Easter (we copped the trifecta last year)!

    Dr G I reckon that wish is batting "a Duck"

    You are going to be very disappointed.

    Hope to play St Kilda round one and win :) - what a feeling that would be :)

    Remind me it is so long ago I have no memory of it.

    Just watch the old games on you tube

    You know, when the MFC had an AFL standard players list

    Wait was You Tube around then?

    Prepare to be disappointed - rumours I've read (mainly on BigFooty) reckon we're playing Freo in Perth round 1.

    Would love to play a home friday night opener against St. Kilda

    Seeing as i'll be getting my membership renewed at christmas, this would be the number one game that would lure me.

    That would do the confidence wonders - Start the year in Perth against one this years grand finalists who are only going to get better

    A traditional round 1 shellacking with a cherry on the top 25 possession, 5 goal breakout game by our Col

    And I'm an optimist

    I seem to remember Roos had a very good record at Skilled against Geelong with the Swans. Perhaps one of it will rub off.

    Fook it if it is Freo at Subi, it's Freo in Subi. We were all happy the last two years thinking Brissy & Port at the G and how did that turn out.

    I was there in Round 1 98, we lost but were fairly good for most of the day, it was really hot and we just struggled on the big ground with the heat. We got better as the year went on and I seriously don't mind us getting a hard game first up in 2014 either. The list needs to learn to play against the best and the odd belting of mediocre sides in the last 7 years wont cut it anymore.

    Todays Hun is saying there maybe no games at the G for the first two rounds of 2014 and with the Cricket World cup there in 2015 the same will apply.

    Looks like a return to the past where we used to go to the first game in early April.

    So Gear up for a min. of an interstate game in the first two weeks and a game at Geelong or the dome of death.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
