Happy with the draw. Only getting the Cats and Pies once. Don't like twilight games but we only have 3 twilight home games on a Sunday and one of those starts at 3.15pm against the Dogs.
The only game as a supporter who attends all Melbourne games i don't like, is the Monday night home game against Carlton. Great for sitting at home watching on the box but not the best to go to with an early work start the next day. I can feel a sickie come on already .
Effectively only 3 day games in Melbourne does not help with increasing supporter turnout and helping our gate revenue. The club or the AFL has there head in the sand with this one.

shesh i thought it was last year
musta been the year before?
2010 was the last time for 2 games then in 08 before that
but in saying that
every year weve travelled twice to adelaide... which is what bugs me... and now with gold coast and gws in the comp... seems less likely to ever get 2 games in perth anymore=P
might just become one of those only watch the game on tv kinda people =P(still pay membership of course)
Great draw, much better then i was expecting. I was expecting a few more twilight matches due to our "Boring brand of football". Happy with that. Could of been bad.

This quote from the St K F C website surprised me. Since when is that game a highlight? I find Monday night is a bloody lowlight: only serves TV ratings and advertising purposes but certainly not the fans! Sheesh!

Since Port were admitted we went to adelaide only once during the hna season in each of 98, 99, 01,03, 04, 05, 06, 07 and 08, and not at all in 2000.
Besides, you can see us in the NAB Cup

happy with the draw, but gotta question value for money with our memberships over here in the West. no access to players before or after game, ONE game to which we have to be put in a ballot to see if we get a seat....is 3 memberships and 3 pet memberships REALLY worth the money? hopefully with Scotty being a WA boy we might be able to gain some sort of access to the startiing 22 this year. But happy with the draw none the less...

I agree, two days leave to cover the Monday and the Tuesday and it's all about the television and not those who have to struggle to school and work the next morning.
