St Kilda
The Saints will start the season with five matches at Telstra Dome. Just one of those five matches is an away clash, the round three clash against the Western Bulldogs. In fact, 10 of St Kilda's opening 13 rounds will be played at Telstra Dome.
To counter that, only four of the Saints' final nine matches will be played at the Docklands venue. The Saints will have just two home-and-away trips to the MCG – its fewest since 2004.
Night matches will be a feature for St Kilda in 2008. The club will play 13 matches at night – eight on Saturday and five on Friday.
The Saints will venture outside of Victoria on six occasions – twice to Subiaco Oval, once to AAMI Stadium, once to the Gabba, once to Gold Coast Stadium and once to the SCG.

And why schedule us to play home games against Collingfilth and Essendon at Telstra Dome. Please Westaway please, tell the AFL now we want these 2 games transferred to the MCG.......please. Not only just for the bigger crowd but also from the players perspective in gaining more experience on the only ground that matters.

Grant Thomas was the best coach St.kilda ever had.

All in all a very pleasant surprise...14 games at the dome/2 at the G =16 Melbourne games...a few too many nights for my liking but you can't have everything...5 games at the dome to start is unbelievale...as is a home game to finish...8.5 out of ten.

Looks like only one trip to the MCG...
...unless Essendon pull their finger out and need to beat us to make the eight = 85,000 for round 22.

Not such good news with the likelihood of a lot of television conflicts with eagle & docker games. I don't recall the exact circumstances that occurred this year but i do recall that there were a few times when we couldn't see a match live as fox would broadcast fre & wc games at the same time as FTA.
Next year the following matches are in direct conflict although we may not necessarily have a significant delay with every match.

Get your spin right FFS!
Is it one or two games at the MCG?
Lowsy deal for my MCC membership, but I'm in the big minority re that issue!
Davo - Will 9 games out of first 11 at TD cause a bit of an issue for fitness management? Is Misson concerned about 5 consecutive games at TD re players hammys??

The club will play 13 matches at night
So that should help Westaway and Burkey with gaining sponsors as that means lots of prime time exposure...
Thgough ona purely selfish point I was hoping that the first two games would not BOTh ne home games as I will be away then...![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)

It actually looks like Carlton have pulled the best draw. 18 Match in Melbourne, including 9 at the MCG.... I thought their home ground was TDSaint Mik wrote:YEP but at least they travel in the last roundDuggie wrote:Looks like The Filth scoop the cream--again!![]()

We need to really rip up the start of the season, 9 out of 11 at TD. Otherwise we will end up in the same position as last year, just running out of games to win.
The only thing that concerns me is the middle of the year, rounds 11,12 and 13. We play 3 games in twelve days including a trip to Sydney.
Other than that we have nothing to really complain about, except playing Freo in Freo for the 14th year straight.

- Fremantle (11th)
- Port Adelaide (2nd)
- Sydney (8th)
- Western Bulldogs (13th)
We have five six-day breaks, a decrease of one on last year
We have six interstate trips, an increase of one on last year
Friday night games = 5

We play at Subiaco twice, as we have in 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007; we have had the most WA trips of any Victorian club since Fremantle entered the competition in 1996 (we also have the highest number of WA supporters of any club)
We only play at the MCG twice - bad news for all those MCC members wanting value for their membership!

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
