I'm getting de ja Vue, Buckley has no excuses now?? What excuses has he had the last 3 years?

 

None.

[Jibroni 5,009]

At least we only have 4 6 day breaks (excluding the Essendrug game) from what I can see.

Otherwise from  PR perspective its not great and we have a tough run home as well.

4 Friday night games for Carlton.

[rolling fog 1,208]

Well we had a very favourable draw in 2017 and squibbed it. 

The AFL reward the performers and big crowd drawers. Right now, we're neither of those things

[DSP 1,488]

Got stiffed again on Friday night games.

And plenty of train trips on Sunday yet again.

Meh.

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Positives

11 games at the G

Only four 6 day breaks and one 5 day

4 away games in a row rounds 6-9 ????? (2 at docklands 1 at G vs Carlton) then home in Alice Springs and away again to Dogs at Docklands

No home games at Docklands, 9 at the G and 2 in NT

It’s quite entertaining coming home on a Friday after a long week and watching Carlton get thumped.

I agree that is bizarre, at the Carlton game should have been our home game instead. 

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Effectively 6 away games in a row from round 6 to round 11 (can’t really include Alice springs as a home game). How does that happen?

why can’t it just be home one week away the next, repeat

ummm you answered your own question.  if we have games in Alice then we can't possibly have one home one away.... unless you want the AFL to give us more home games than any other team

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

It’s as if people have forgotten that we haven’t made the 8 since 06 and have also been the laughing stock of the competition for the best part of a decade.

We will EARN a favourable draw by performing week in, week out.

Until then, stfu.

[rolling fog 1,208]

Tough second half of the season, especially the final month

[DemonOX 8,800]

Rippa Rita two games up in Brisbane. 

Cant wait to c the boys play live with me and my family sitting in the stands.

Fixturing shouldn't be a tool for the AFL to punish/reward. If it is, why do Carlton get looked after? It's a joke.

[DemonLad5 1,642]

[DeeZee 7,445]

Carlton get 4 Friday night games and Melbourne only one.

The AFL is a pathetic sick joke

[DemonLad5 1,642]

West Coast in Perth AGAIN! Surprise... 

[DSP 1,488]

So Carlton has done nothing for years and are still rebuilding, yet they get 4 prime time games.

[Damo 3,374]
