What

All reports appreciated. Keep up the great work.

Hogan has shed the puppy fat and now looks like an athlete. Whatever hes done the last two months has worked a treat.

He is not an automatic selection. His season was terrible.

Surely it started yesterday? We havent played in 9 weeks. The life of an AFL footballer is so easy, and they even want two byes now. Pathetic really.

Well deserved. His debut season seems to be very underrated.

No we shouldnt. Any teams with lower membership should be reimbursed by the AFL with all that TV rights money they have. How the hell will the league ever be an even playing field when teams like Melbourne play HOME GAMES IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY twice per season?

More than significant. it is a total farce. This is why I was saying the fixture is bad when you dig deep in to it.

Ok, having studied the fixture all day it will be a disaster if we dont play finals in 2017. There are no excuses anymore.

We did very well as far as who we play - we play just two top 8 teams from last season twice, and North should suck this season. I am more concerned about the 8 six day breaks, and the two NT trips which doesnt include a bye on the return from Darwin. But having thought about it more it really is a very good draw.

St Kilda got 4 Friday nights 14 games at Etihad 4 Six Day breaks How much did they pay the AFL under the table for that? We got robbed.

St Kilda 4? Carlton, Essendrug and Richmond with more than us? Is that a [censored] joke?

Yup. Its after the wrong NT game.

Terrible fixture,.., absolutely terrible Six day breaks Melbourne 8 (Most in the AFL) Brisbane 4 North 4 Carlton 4 St Kilda 4 Port 3 Gold Coast 2

Why are we playing West Coast in Perth again when we played them there last year?

Why didnt we demand the bye after the Darwin game? Ridiculous

Why dont they just make Etihad our new home ground? What a joke.

Ill bet anything that Geelong game at Etihad is our home game, and we dont play them at the MCG yet again. The putrid AFL didnt mind giving us a home game there vs The Saints this season.

Jesse Hogan With the contract distraction out of the way and a 2 year apprenticeship as good as any kid his age, hes going to rip the comp to shreds

So that confirms we wont have the bye on the return game from Darwin. Should have been the absolute #1 priority for us.

We had better play them at the MCG this season.

JKH has a massive preseason and is a regular in the 22 all season, playing some great footy.

Watson is going to get booed just as much as when he was last on the field. The hawks fans will let him hear it in round 1. Its going to be beautiful and I hope he cries again.

Yeah, reckon Bernie can finish his playing career as a very good defensive half forward

Need a running team vs the Saints at Etihad.

Why dont they just release the whole fixture at once? The AFL can not do a thing right
