Based on article in Age 30 minutes ago (or in fact a strategic leak from AFL to keep horse racing off the back page), by my reading there is still one game needed forr the G. Being either bombers or MFC. Otherwise, its west Coast at Perth, GC away or Port Adelaaide away. In other fixture news: ■ Melbourne will head interstate for the first game of the season. Quote
FarNorthernD 5,863 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 In other fixture news: ■ Melbourne will head interstate for the first game of the season. ■ North Melbourne was slated to take on St Kilda their Round 1 game. ■ Geelong will be taking their handbags ..... it is a weird stat that we haven’t played interstate since 1998. Hasn’t helped us and can’t begrudge an away game to start the year 1 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,562 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) After process of elimination with respect to confirmed and unconfirmed leaks, I reckon we're playing GC at Metricon round 1. Edited October 29, 2019 by Bring-Back-Powell Quote

Forest Demon 4,681 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) We have played well 2 of the last 3 games there. Pretty much a free swing. Bring it on. Edited October 29, 2019 by Forest Demon 5 1 Quote

Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) ^^^ The Sunday 3.20 pm time slots start right up front. Horribly hot at that time in Perth!!! No pre-season game in WA so every chance we play both WCE and Freo in Perth.... The club likes to have the first few games in Melbourne to get memberships rolling. Not a great start. Worse if we lose. Edited October 29, 2019 by Lucifer's Hero Quote

Sorry kids 635 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Love it. No excuses. Fresh and fit list. Plenty of time to have a game plan and strategy to win. 7 Quote
roy11 4,076 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 at least they wont have spent weeks doing pre-season in the rain, but you never know with Melbourne aha Quote
DubDee 26,711 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Always good to play last years top 4 in the early rounds. Takes them a few weeks to get going. Bring it on! and the dogs v pies at dock lands constitutes a blockbuster now? According to the herald. 2 Quote

Wiseblood 24,637 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Bring it on. No better way to kick off the season than rolling the Eagles in Perth. No doubt we embrace the challenge and see it as an opportunity to out 2019 quickly in the rear view mirror. 1 1 Quote

But also clubs like Carlton and Essendon, have dug their own grave in no less significant ways and still have never suffered poor draws like we have. Yes I know, big clubs and so on and so forth. Hard to become a big club with this level of inequality though. Yes, completely agree, but you have to view the AFL as the business that it is, and those clubs are big drawers than us. Simple as that. Commercially, we have a long way to go. A few flags would help convert a few. 2018 finals shows we can draw if we're playing successful finals footy.
