Fixture 2019

[Ghost Like]

So we finish bottom four and are supposed to get a easy draw. West Coast in Perth Round 2 should see us off to a flier. AFL are cheating corrupt dogs.

Round 1 GC at home.

Yep AFL really screwing us.

I think the AFL call that foreplay.

I haven't seen the new draw Curly, but it was indicated that sides that finished lower on the ladder in 2018 will play each other twice in 2019 and probably top 4 or 5 once. Hence the importance of winning games and not accepting mediocrity in anything we do because that keeps you low on the ladder and you will get the raw deal from the AFL.

But you cant blame the AFL, that is a cop out, this is the clubs fault for poor leadership over the years. Must win games ,no excuses.

Collingwood got a AFL approved easy draw this season which includes the bottom 4 twice plus the no trip to WC Skilled Tassie or anywhere else its hard to win.

Afl made a massive blunder putting carlton into 5/6 Friday night games, Could'nt belive that and still no idea why they did that. Woeful games. I think that is causing a bit of shite now, those who missed out this year want their turn in 2019. Don't think the Pies have ever done it hard have they?

No that’s not true. We’ve got a pretty good draw.

We don't play WCE in Round 2. They play GWS.

Just had a look at the first 10 rounds.
Holy moly.
Realistically, you could only say there is 2 possible wins there. Possibly.
Richo is going to be gone quick smart, which is great.

So much for the bottom six not having to play any of the top six twice, we play Melbourne twice.

I think that’s just life when you’re the 3rd worst team in the comp.

That’s not how it works. You get a maximum of 1 top 6 team finishing in the bottom 6.

Seems about right. these are who we play twice

Melbourne 5th
Adelaide 12th
Fremantle 14th
Gold Coast 17th
Carlton 18th

Only play one top 8 team twice and the bottom 2 teams twice. What more do you want

We brought this on ourselves by playing unwatchable footy.

The fixture is about as good as we could expect.
Win some games and it will improve next year.

I watched the PM'S 11 cricket match yesterday at Manuka oval. Great venue.

I will gladly go to the GWS match there in May.

"The Saints will boast a trio of Canberra juniors, with ex-Giants Jack Steele and Josh Bruce teaming up with Logan Austin to give the visitors a familiar feel at Manuka."

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Good draw overall. Nothing out of the ordinary. The last half of the draw looks easier than the first.

We only play Melbourne twice which is good and we have a good record against them.

It’s a FIXture not a draw.

Hasn’t been a draw since the 80’s

Anyway, you know what I mean.
I always thought they spun a bingo machine and drew out balls to decide who plays who and where.
