About time the opening match is changed
Enough is enough.... I'm over having this average game being shown as the first of the year. Start the day all excited and get let down....
they have to stop showing bottom eight sides and play the two grand finalists of the former season. Then you can play them later in the season as a run up to the finals...

Agree Solar..imagine US v Hawthorn or Collingwood tonight..a big anticlimax to say the least!!
Never take a backward step even to gain momentum.....

decide the "blockbuster games" between the "big 4" then push the rest of the comp in and around these games....

I hate the word "potential". Besides that, it might be this year's Runners Up watching US unfurl OUR flag in 2011saint66au wrote:

Also sick of Saints first game of the year now seeming to be always against the swans, a recipe for low scoring.
Agree carlton v richmond has to stop being the first game particularly that the first game is a showpiece event that lots of people tune into. i switched over after 5 minutes which is long enough to know richmond are still crap and the game was over. They infuriate neutrals too.

Been that way for 3 years now. Before that we had the season opener 2 of the 3 years. One of 2 v Brisbane (both in Brisbane) and one in Perth v West Coast.hilairehinshelwood wrote:Also sick of Saints first game of the year now seeming to be always against the swans,

Its about time we got a Season Opener (not necessarily the Thursday Night) against one of the BIGGER Victorian clubs. Four out of 6 Rd 1 games interstate is more than enough. Lets see what hapens in October when the 2011 FIXture comes out. !!
