Three of the first five games are at the dome, why do you think they have it in for us?

Even if we are at the dome we aren't exactly going to bring in too much money when the attendances are less than 30k are we?

I don't think they have it in for us, I just think that our parameters are a very low priority in the fixture scheduling software...

As far as playing sides on this years form the draw is as good as you can get. As far as making money that is in our own hands. If we win and play good footy they will come just ask Kevin Costner.

Exactly...It is important to win games in the early part of the season as you will get the undecided members.

Home games and wins are the most important factors early on...We have to play these sides at home anyway...So it does not really matter when we play them from a game day revenue point of view.

Exactly where are the first five games? Elmo Stadium?

Wow ... our first 10 games are extremely winnable and easy. Don't give a crap if we play interstate sides, considering most of them are already on the bottom or bottoming out.

Our first 10 games contain:

6 Bottom 8 teams

4 Top 8 teams (3 of them at TD)

2 Top 8 teams who will be worse then last year (Adelaide and Sydney)


I can't believe people are complaining about our first games.. :roll:

That's a very good point, if we need to be a top 4 team next year I would hope we would win around 10 of our first 13 games, nothing too dificult in there...
