—coach— 3,496 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Wow I’m shocked and surprised that this may happen: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/collingwood-to-benefit-from-easy-2018-afl-draw/news-story/79dd12ca02cafef38fe4b1237fd96c96
ding 5,126 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Cant believe we only get North once next year. I was hoping we would play them 23 times. Bastards.
dees189227 12,540 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 so looking at the herald sun website I basically get out of the fixture is the scum shapes as a big winner and the pies get an easy draw that holds no excuses for bucks to miss the finals.
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 According to papers our double ups are Crows (one game in NT), Cats, Saints, Dogs and Suns. Not the worst, would've preferred one of Bombers or Blues instead of Dogs but otherwise can't complain. We'll be back to Hicksville again though, I wonder how much interstate games we'll have. We've generally been pretty looked after in this regard where our two NT games count towards 5/6 interstate games hopefully that stays the same. Looking for some more primetime expose, less Sunday afternoon games and playing at least one of Bombers/Blues at home, though with our ANZAC eve and queens bday home games that's unlikely. Currently we have locked in home games against Crows, Cats, Saints, Dogs, Suns, Dockers, Pies & Tigers - leaves room for 3 more, I'm tipping Port, GWS and North.
What 18,810 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 All I care about are 6 day breaks. Don't care who we play or how many times. But if we get 9 six day breaks again we are stuffed... as would be any other team that gets that.

Typical weak act by Vlad and continued with Gil.
DubDee 26,794 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm usually not into conspiracy theories but it's hard not to think that the afl wants Collingwood and Essendon to make finals or keep their seasons alive for longer as it results in so much money.
DubDee 26,794 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm getting de ja Vue, Buckley has no excuses now?? What excuses has he had the last 3 years?

North, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Carlton, Freo, Collingwood, West Coast, Saints, Bulldogs, Hawks, Bombers, Geelong, Tigers, Port (such an easy draw, I don't rate them). We'll be up there with Sydney, Adelaide & GWS imo.

I don't think it's to do with clash jumpers. I vaguely recall a poster mentioning something about a contract between Essendon and either AFL or us that gives them all the home games. I thought it was something to do with Ettihad. Can anyone elaborate? If so, when does this BS end?

Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 1 friday night game against Port in Adelaide - absolute BS
whatwhat say what 23,890 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 from a financial perspective it's a bit of a disaster tbh only three 'marquee' games: - round 1 v judas and his mob - round 5 v tigers - round 12 v pies from a football perspective it's okay-ish
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 10 Sunday games, possibly 11 depending on round 23 more BS
