Our real, and immediate goal should be to make our own home ground a win for us!

Fitzroy never go there!!!

Blues, Pies and Dons what a bloody joke Bombers have been [censored] since 2005 they should be playing down at the Cattery 1:00 pm Sundays. Blues the same. These numbers show us that there is no integrity in AFL.!!!!!!!!!

There hasn’t been any for a long long time. AFL HQ doesn’t care about integrity, it only cares about generating $$$

I got a ticket for the Dees/Dons and Port/WB double header - for free.

Seems a bit too good to be true - 2 games for $NIL??

 

Well done BBP.!!

Free to Air for the first 15 games.

Those numbers are for Victoria only right? Pretty sure WCE, Adel etc get every game on FTA in their home state.

You'd have to assume that it is Victorian Free to Air.

I'm not sure they even know AFL exists in Sydney.

Time to cancel Foxtel I reckon

Think our fixture looks terrible. We have a bad opening to the season and a difficult run home.

I haven't researched this so could be wrong but I think we're 3-20 and a draw since 1990.

Absolutely deplorable by both our club and for the AFL for continually sending us down there.

So we are moving interstate? We seem to play better away from the G.

LSomeone has to go there and as a low drawing club it fall to us amongst other low drawers or interstate teams to go there. No surprise it that. When we draw like the pies and tigers we won't go there. What the AFL should demand of the cats is that 20% of the seats be reserved for visiting teams.

One of the key items on the 2023 agenda  is to fix our MCG performances.

I believe we won just 2 of our last 8 MCG games for the year.

Sounds about right, seems like very time I went we got done. From memory I only went to 2 wins last season.

I'm not sure people in Sydney are aware they can attend live sport. Sydney demonlanders the exception.

It's true!  Although one time I was walking home (live nearish to the SCG) after the Richmond v Syd game...

There were 2 Richmond supporters smiling and laughing so I asked them who won.  Turns out the Swans, but you would not know it from the Sydney supporters. The pack of 40 or so all looked so sour I assumed they had lost.  Guess even though they watched the game in person, their hearts weren't in it?

Edited December 12, 20222 yr by DeelightfulPlay

I'm glad that at least we've got the Hawthorn double-up.  Rd 9 when the wheels should be starting to fall off and Rd 23, when they should be in full on tank mode and we're kicking into beast mode.

The MFC owes Hawthorn so much for the past 30 or so years that I'd love to see us give them an absolute thrashing both times, but knowing how Goodwin works, we'll probably just cruise and bank the 4 points with comfortable 30 point wins that leave Hawthorn supporters thinking "they're not that good, we could have won that game" ...kinda what they did to us for alot of the last 10 years when they didn't put us away properly by half time.

sydney swans fans are mental

and they regularly pack out the scg

I think it is Available but geelong don't want to play there until the stands completed, more money more money, that is what fixture is all about.

Ok, who cares? Does the above mean that they have the back-end or second half of the season charitably committed to a higher than normal fixture held at their home ground? We knew it would come some way, to their very great benefit.
