2017 AFL FIXTURE

I count 16 wins!

 

Am I being too negative?

Excellent...We may finally make some money off this draw..

All depends on whether the team can win of course and not decide whether to switch off...

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.

 

2 games against Norf, Carlton and Collingwood is great news.

 

St Kilda though...

No home games at Etihad, but we play 4 games there, 2 more than last year.

It's a good fixture on first glance.

No double ups against any of the top 4.


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.

 

First three rounds look challenging. All three are bogey sides and 2/3 on a bogey ground. We must start the season strongly (at absolute worst 1-2) as there's history says no coming back from 0-3.

 


The first 6 weeks will define our season.  We should be 5 and 1.  Don't mind the draw the only real tuff patch is the Bulldogs, Eagles and Sydney mid year

Quality fixture for us, an especially good first half, (before the bye). And then the last three games at the G all against sides that we should beat.

All-in-all, a serious opportunity for us to make finals. Positives everywhere in this.

Can't wait.

In Hobart again. Awesomesauce!!!!!!!

Our fixture simplified.

I reckon we play Essendon away each year because of the jumper.  There clash jumper still clashed with our home jumper

8 Friday night games for Swans and 7 for Bulldogs.

Wowee!

Deserved, they entertain.

How did Richmond fare?

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.

They got a big fat zero for Friday night games.

I'm ecstatic about it.

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!?

We should win 7 or 8 of our last 9.

Good draw for us at a glance. But again no game in Qld for supporters up here. Think that's 4 out of the last 5 years. Oh well, won't mind a bit if we make finals.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
