FIXture Leaks? !!

[Eastern]

The AFL will start leaking bits n' pieces of the 2014 FIXture pretty soon (I suspect it will start this week).

Already we have;

Rd 5. Friday 25 April (n) St Kilda v ?Brisbane (Westpac Stadium) - saints.com.au

Please post here any leaks you read or hear of, and where they came from

By my calculations, the OFFICIAL FIXture will be released around about 22 October !!

Well you would think Carlton at Etihad the day after Mothers day.

Sat 27 Sept. StK vs ?? MCG

Yeah, that would be Rd 6. That would give us a 10 day break between Brisbane and Carlton, meaning that we get a 6 day break prior to our Sunday Twilight game in Rd 7. Lets hope its NOT in Perth !!

[SaintPav]

Where are we playing interstate first round?

Something like Eagles in Perth on a Sunday at 4:40pm our time.

We MUST be due for a HOME game in Rd 1. How about Nth Melbourne on the Saturday Night. Who knows, there might be a bit of added spice to that game !!

We must be due fir a home game Round 1, but no doubt it will yet again be interstate and followed by a six day turn around.

Let's just hope we don't have go something like 39 weeks between meetings with Port Adelaide.

I like it

[Bluthy]

Fingers crossed we get another lucrative Monday night slot.

Would be ultra-disappointed if Saints fans boo Dal -- a good bloke who doesn't really want to leave.

You know what - I reckon he's the one bloke virtually no Saints supporters would boo if he crossed - he's just too damn nice! It would be like kicking a puppy.

I just hope we get more than 2 day games in Melbourne.

I know that is a ridiculous request.

[tony74]

From what I gather no Friday night games ( except for Anzac night ) and plenty of twilights.

But they do have a 17 team draw. Just in case.

I've heard similiar-- but hoping they are sat twilight and not necesarily Sunday twilight.

[maverick]

No twilights...this next to our poor performance on the field will send our membership into the twilight zone....

But Rebecca Wilson said that we get all the blockbusters & our stadium deal is like a gold mine?

How many day games in Melbourne?

I don't like the sound of this, I believe it but I don't like it !!

The17 team draw sounds ok to me.

The only time I've ever agreed with the Scarlett Pimple is his view of a 17 game fixture. He likens it to the NFL 16 game season(although they have a silly system of divisions and conferences - would love to see the NFL have a free ladder and play a top 8 playoffs or top ten like the afl - anyway, he reckons that every NFL game means something and is a mini event by itself. Plus less wear and tear on the players.

I know people will argue that less games means less revenue but I feel it's justified. I have no prob with a 17 game season. And if they can f*** the idiot commentators off, then it will be nigh perfect! Lol

That's they way I read it.

Will leave a bit of a hole in the fixture; somewhat ironically

Oh, sorry, my bad! Yeah, hopefully the Bummers get hit hard.

But my view on a 17 game fixture still stands.

Jeez, you know how to needle people with your little jabs Doc! But I love your daily injection of humour. Never fails to puncture my sadness about lost flags. Love the syringe benefits of laughing at your work!!

It looks like I got it Horribly Wrong with the timing this year. All that I have heard is that it WON'T be Carlton v Richmond on the opening Thursday (possibly Coll v Geel at Etihad).

My revised prediction is that the leaks will now start around next Monday or Tuesday (28 or 29 Oct) and the full FIXture will be released about Thursday 7 Nov. Just like the Trade Period, the AFL will want to "string it out" for as long as they can !!
