Nothing wrong with changing your mind, but in 24 hours you've had more positions on this than the Kama Sutra.

Dear AFL, Please give us an opening round blockbuster to kick off the year, but not against Essendon because they'll be up and about, and not against Carlton because they've got the wood against

I like that we have a decent run at the G to start and end the season. One Friday night game is a bit poor, but three Saturday nights might make up for it. The amount of six day breaks is a worry, will test us. Positive overall though.

 

Listening to the bloke that released the draw, looking at how many 6-day breaks we've got is a very simplistic way of looking at it.  He suggested looking at how many games we play where we have had a greater break than our opponent.

He used the example of Geelong - 8 x 6-day breaks (equal most in the comp), but they are playing 10 games where they have had a longer break than their opponent.

We can't complain too much about the 6-day break thing, especially when we want our QBD Monday game, and we now have our Anzac Eve game.

Only 4 away games interstate.

4 Games at Etihad to give us more chance of learning how to play there.

A home game against a "power" club in Carlton.

A bye after an NT game.

A Friday night game.

Only play Adelaide and North, from the 2016 top 8, twice, all other finalists from this year just once.

I think it is a very positive draw.

4 Etihad games in the first 13 rounds. In the same period we play at the MCG 6 times.

Glad we play Geelong in Melbourne.

Essendon away at Etihad. How about a game against them for once?

2x games vs Carlton at the MCG is great.

4x interstate away games, two of which are in Canberra and Tassie (vs North).

 

Overall, solid fixture.

North is a positive...

I think they will finish bottom 4 this year.

This is a dream draw for us.

We only play Swans, Bulldogs, Cats, West coast and Hawthorn once.

This could be the year we make finals.

Can't complain too much but one Friday night game for us when Sydney and the Bulldogs share 2/3 of every Friday night for the entire season? Taking the [censored] now, aren't they?

Even if they made the Grand Final, surely sharing around Friday nights a little more evenly would be the preferred outcome. Have they not learned how boring the surplus of Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn games became in recent years!?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons and the Dockers meet on halfway on neutral territory in the heart of the country in Alice Springs and the Dees need to win to hold onto a place in the Top 4.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
