It doesn't say in the opening post but round 2 vs Richmond is Friday night at the G. And then the away match also against Richmond in round 14.

[Life Long Saint]

Geelong twice where??

oops! My bad!

[Hemi Baxter]

Softest draw we've had for quite a while. The only real disappointment is that we have only one game at the G and even that isn't too bad as Melbourne will probably have to play in handcuffs.

[matrix]

actually we play 3 games at the G
ill screen shot it.....

[Hemi Baxter]

Should have looked harder -3 games at the G, even .

[SaintWodonga]

Best draw we've had in years! We will make the 8!

[Munga]

12 wins would be par

[noddy04]

I really wanted to play the Crows and Port here oh well at least we got them here for the first round of the Nab cup

"VERDICT
St Kilda will travel far and wide in 2013, with seven matches outside Victoria, including a home match in New Zealand. The Saints have a comfortable enough fixture though, with two games against Richmond, Carlton, the Sydney Swans, Gold Coast and Fremantle. There are six short breaks, including back-to-back between rounds seven and nine. The Saints will feature in three Friday night games, and eight twilight games (four Saturday, four Sunday).

CLUB HIGHLIGHTS
Will kick off the season against Gold Coast on Saturday night at Metricon Stadium.
Seven matches to be played outside Victoria, including a round three appearance at Manuka Oval in Canberra against GWS.
To play a home match against the Sydney Swans on Anzac Day in round five at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand - the first-ever match for premiership points outside Australia.
Will again host a Monday night match, against Carlton at Etihad Stadium in round seven, post-Mother's Day.
To feature on the Friday night stage on three occasions, two of them home games, against Richmond at the MCG in round two and Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium in round 20.
Must face only two of the 2012 finalists twice - Sydney Swans and Geelong."

@AllNightApp @teotalk as expected saints replace tigers with a Geelong trip this season. First since round 18 2004. #aflexpectsaslide

It's like Déjà vu, all over again.

[chook23]

5 day break before NZ game.........Sydney have 6

big call

[Life Long Saint]

5 day break before NZ game.........Sydney have 6

Yep...That one is a tad perplexing.
We are the ones pioneering and giving up our big Etihad advantage over the Swans but Sydney given favours by the AFL again.
What's worse is that our Saturday game is a twilight game...I suppose that it could have been worse...We could have played Essendon on Saturday night.

[SaintWodonga]

Sunday June 9, will get a close look at Mitch Brown. I hope we cheer him everytime time he goes near the ball!

[mr six o'clock]

The game against the cats at geelong !
even with its increased capacity , Saints supporters will be hard pressed getting a ticket .
