Full Melbourne 2014 Fixture

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Of course it is. The fact that a 6 game increase represents 400% highlights how awful we are.

A 1 game increase for us is a 50% increase on our year. For the Gold Coast to increase by 50% they'd need to win another 4 games. It reflects the fact that GC is better than we are.

I expect a big improvement in the Tigers next year, about 400%, so that will take them to 60 wins

If you can't understand how percentages work, don't be surprised if/when people start disregarding your posts.

15 wins x 400% = 60 wins

that's how percentages work

it's your application of them that is dense

Actually a 400% improvement (increase) on 15 wins is 75 wins. 60 wins would be a 300% improvement on 15 wins...

actually rfpc is the one who said 400%, referring to 8 wins improvement to last year's 2 wins.

interesting that rfpc 'likes' your post, demonstrates the grip he has on his own statement

You make a fine point.

The improvement would be 300%.

I apologise.

you know what.. I think myself and some others are getting carried away.. I've just watched a replay and my lord, I had forgotten just how bad we are.. i think you are correct in that an extra 6 wins is fanciful indeed. Depressing stuff.

We will be better, C&B.

We just have different ideas of how much better.

November is not the time for depression.

Anyone notice our 3 Saturday night games in Melbourne (v st Kilda, Sydney and bulldogs) are stand alone games on channel 7 which means excellent national exposure. Sure we've got no Friday night games but we haven't totally gone without in national exposure.

The round 6 sat night game v Sydney has the potential to drag in 35-40 k with the Roos - Sydney factor and if we've already won a couple.

Good point. I'm very surprised with the 3 early season saturday night games on 7, but it's a great opportunity for the club. Though the Essendon game in Round 2 this year was too...That reminds me of that Brisbane game in Round 5 2010. It was a foxtel saturday night game,but we were coming off 2 wins, Brisbane were undefeated, the crowd was 36-37k and we smashed them by 50 points. Atmosphere was amazing

i like the Ross Lyon attitude of "anywhere,anytime'.

May take years before we get bums on seats again, but thats up to how well we play.

And they are the only Saturday night games for the round which means that all attention will be on Melbourne.

THought I'd mention the positives of the fixture among all the doom and gloom.
