How can it not be Bulldogs vs Dees even if we're both not 10-0. Unless the wheels fall off one or both of us before then we should absolutely be given the slot.

Even then just look at the fact that Saints Geelong have a Friday Night Game in a couple of weeks. 

Well that's a moot point as it's been announced back to back Friday nights

Edited April 29, 20214 yr by ucanchoose

Great result for us, a prime time slot also gives good promotion for one of our major sponsors in Tourism NT. It being at night means it will very likely be quite chilly, which you would imagine favours us, not to mention we have experience of playing the ground. 

I will get there at some point but sadly not next year.

Again we don't get any advantage from this game in NT as we play a northern interstate team used to these conditions.

Apart from Port & Adelaide we have only played the saints at NT (Uluru not Darwin)

Not actually correct as the last few games there have been very good conditions.  It’s not Darwin where the humidity has been an issue 

2 Friday night games in a row has that ever happened

It would be hot a slippery just like the Gabba.

It will be cold as balls. It's not being played in Darwin

Brilliant! 2 Friday night games in succession. Dees back in the limelight.

For round 11 who gets the Friday night?

Collingwood V Geelong - MCG

Richmond V Adelaide - MCG

West Coast V Essendon - Optus

Bulldogs V Melbourne - Marvel

Will they pick 2 new sides on the rise or fall into old habits and simply choose Richmond or Collingwood. 

surely its us and the Dogs

Does it get cold in Alice Springs? Never been there or NT. Desert state isnt it. Only know (lived)  Melbourne  and seen Syd, Surfers Paradise and Adelaide Casino. Lived in Bangkok last 21 years. I know Ayres Rock is no longer.

Here you go .. 

And this followed by Queens Birthday game.

Sponsors will be happy.  (so am I)

The Demons are BOX OFFICE!!

cant complain about the draw. Wins games and good stuff happens

This is actually a great result and hopefully sees the AFL move to flexible fixture in the future. There's no way they would have had us vs Bris in NT or vs Dogs on a Friday night when creating the fixture last year

Because Channel 7 will want Collingwood v Geelong. Those two teams could be 17th and 18th on the ladder (or 1st versus 18th) and it would still pull more viewers than Bulldogs v Melbourne as 1st and 2nd (or 2nd and 1st).

What is this sort of analysis doing on 'Land? Mods . . . please.

Ayers Rock (Uluru) is still there - you just can't climb it

Your memory is astounding @Bring-Back-Powell

Gee I hope us and the dogs keep winning and both go undefeated into that round 11 game. That would be epic 

LOL, "Back-to-back blockbusters", not "Back-to-back-to-back blockbusters" to include QB.

Not our fault!...

Was that Carlton game the "bruise free footy" game?

I don't normally drink on a school night... but when I do, I say things like.

SO. F*CKING. DESERVED!

I was quite shocked we didn't get one in this block...

Well done you bloody beautiful Deeeeeemons!

The floating fixture must stay IMO You then get rewarded for playing well instead of waiting 12 months
