[spirit of norm smith 16,208]

Dees to have a 3 week block in Sydney. That hurts.
Possible draw

rd 6 Versus Kangas/Saints

rd 7 Versus Giants

rd 8 versus Swans

[Clintosaurus 7,808]

Honestly, just being able to watch the team play on TV this season is a bonus. Where the games are do not really matter.

geee wwwiiizz the 10 people working at AFLHQ must be knackered by trying to keep this ship a floating.

[Robbie57 2,020]

Good for those of us living in Sydney, we may be the only people at the Saints/Kangas game. As for the other games they may be harder to get into with only 10,000 seats but will remind me of the early years of the swans up here.

I think they've bought a Turing Tumble to make the fixture.

I'm glad we are not playing the Saints any time soon.  they are in good form

ditto GC.

 

I guess we will be up in QLD in ~4-5 weeks time after NSW?

[Clintosaurus 7,808]

Gold Coast in Sydney next week, Hawthorn the week after. Both at Giants Stadium.

Would you prefer a Thursday loss and be [censored] off all weekend?

[Robbie57 2,020]

Giants Stadium!

Damn I can walk to the SCG, still its not a bad place to watch a low attendance match its still just like a big country ground.

Melbourne v Gold Coast, Giants Stadium, 6.05pm AEST    

is this a misprint? who plays at 6pm on a Sat night?

[titan_uranus 24,963]

So does this mean Rounds 8 and 9 will be vs GWS and Sydney? Surely, if so, both will be away games.

That will mean that after Round 9, we'll have had 2 home games and 6 away games.

Meaning that we'll need to have at least 6 home games somewhere else to come. Presumably will have to be in NSW against other sides to join us, or in another state.

At least that Hawthorn game should be on FTA for us. Which is inexplicable given how we're playing.

[Nasher 33,607]

Sensible move, which is within a bee’s appendage of being too late. The only alternative is to abandon the season; to have waited any longer would have meant the inevitable marooning of the Victorian clubs in Victoria. This way, they get out while they still can.

GF should be played at the home ground of the highest ranking team. Hopefully that becomes a lasting change, in the era of a supposedly national competition, there is no reason for the MCG to have dibs on every grand final and this is proof.

That’s to cater for the WC v Adelaide game which starts at 3:20pm.

Pretty sure home games have been thrown out the window. The AFL just wants games played for $.
