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)

[Jaded No More 58,202]

I reckon that means the week prior, our game against the Dogs will also probably be a Friday night match (we play Adelaide on Saturday afternoon the week prior in Adelaide).

Gives us a nice break to recover before the Queens Birthday game.

How is a night game in the middle of winter in the desert an advantage to Brisbane?

It would be hot a slippery just like the Gabba.

If we play the Lions on Friday Night 4th of June it means our Queens Birthday match against the Pies is Monday the 14th June giving us a 10 day break after the NT.

We then have the Bye the following week before playing Essendon.

It'll be freezing.  Look up the climate of Alice Springs.

So, you don't get out of Victoria much then.

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,213]

Surprised that they're drip feeding details of the next batch of games to be played before we've even started this batch. Should be nice and cool in the red centre at that time of year, particularly at night.

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.

The ignorance about the conditions in Alice Springs really gets on my goat.   People need to learn their country

Kosi to kick 10? ?

Edit; changed my mind - response was a bit too racy.

I mean all those games are trash except Dogs vs Melbourne.

 

The other 3 will be complete wash overs. 

So naturally it'll be Collingwood v Geelong.

Lucky I booked my flight to Alice for Thursday.

Had planned for anytime that weekend but Friday night was not really in my plans.

Now to buy a ticket ??

Have you ever been in Alice Springs in May? The temperature can be quite low.

I’ve only heard this line when it’s dripping with sarcasm. What is happening?!?

The Dogs and Dees will 100% get that Friday night.

Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere. 

We'll beat them - where we play them won't matter.

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.

 Alice Springs is about 450km from Uluru.

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).
