Fantastic we don’t play at Geelong!

The double ups are tough but none of the best teams are part of them at least. No crows, lions, swans

Lots of day sat and sunday games!

I am in love with that night games are terrible for my ageing body.

    Play Twice:

    Essendon, Bulldogs, Gold Coast, Richmond, Hawthorn, Fremantle

    We will be good enough to beat those sides, perhaps a split with the Hawks.

    Ie., why is he carrying a chicken?

    My comrades in the DA have asked me (as our resident crazy chook lady) and I have no idea.

    Forget about what happened the year before and who we are playing twice. Who is to say the Hawks are going to be better? The Dockers too? The 'who we play twice' toughness is a myth. What's more of a concern is the lack of prime time games.

    Because they love giving away farms.

    3:15 Sunday is OK. Clearly 7 don't totally hate us.

    We made trade week interesting, could have received a nicer double up fixture as a thank you!

    315 sunday with a 6pm finish and then basically a 3hr trip to get back to my door is fine for me, absolutely the pits for the little kids on a school night.

    It's going to kill our average attendance. Personally, I and my family of 5 will be very unlikely to go to any of those simply because of how late the trip home will be with a school day the next day.

    6 of the top 8 teams are non Vic.

    The bias towards Vic teams is crazy

    As much fun as seeing the Blues getting flogged is, it doesn’t make for a good spectacle

    How does a team going for 3 flags in a row not even make it on this list?

    People complain about how many [censored] games there were this year and half of that was because Essendon played about 13/14 night games after doing NOTHING last year.

    I’m sure there was a round this year, where Brisbane were playing another top 8 side on a Saturday afternoon, then Essendon were on the night game and surprise surprise they got flogged. Was later in the season too as we spoke about how weird that was on here.

    No Geelong trip - win. Mostly Sunday arvo games which is a commercial disaster.

    The double up games are a bit strange for a side that finished bottom 6. You would expect to play WC and North twice, but we only get Richmond and Essendon.

    In any case, not much expectation next year so tbh does the fixture really that much?

    OTHER VIEW: Are team's fans ever happy about their draw???

    ME: Nahhhh

  • Quote

    The draw is both a sponsor's nightmare and not that great from a winning chance viewpoint.

    Hell our time in the lime light was short.

    Hard to recall a team that was banished so quickly. You could argue for the Eagles but they are so popular that they somehow still thrive.

    Very hard to see us breaking out of the bottom four next year

    No. I actually would be interested in the rationale. What am I missing here?
