I am happy for the Friday night and Saturday night games, I get to go to more games in 2019.

Pretty sure that in 2010 we had the other teams from the top 4 in 2009 twice.
Turned out that they were the same top 4 in 2010.
Expect 4 of the double up sides we play will be top 8, so looks like we will play 11 times against top 8 and 11 times against non top 8 sides.
Tough draw but we can do it. |
Funny you bring that up because I am almost sure we had the hardest draw in 2010 and was going to post it also _________________ It doesn't matter what happens.... I just love this bloody club! |

And yet again our Round 15 home game is at the home ground of our opposition (Marvel/North Melbourne). They also made sure it was a night game since North are the self proclaimed 'night specialist'. _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

Not what I expected, but realistic nonetheless

Half the cellar dwellers don't even play each other twice.
That's how much the AwFuL have f&cked yet another fixture for the umpeenth consecutive season...
Why can't all 18 teams play each other once in the first 17 rounds, then do the double ups? Christ; it can't be that hard to table, can it!?

Its a difficult fixture. |
The Eagles is just as hard in the 2nd half of 2019, and rightly so.
Richmond must be pissing themselves laughing with: PLAY TWICE - Carlton, Collingwood, GWS, Melbourne, Port Adelaide. FMD... Top 2 again. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

F**K RICHMOND.
As long as our players remain hungry and we get a bog standard run with injuries we will be very hard to beat for the flag.
Oh and F**K RICHMOND.

Why does everyone seem to assume it's entirely bad luck? It needs to be properly (i.e. professionally, whatever that entails) investigated before we can safely conclude that is true. |

I thought I was the only one that does that. I bet it’s the same carpark too. I better get onto it tomorrow. |

Thursday night footy sucks donkeys balls.It is not shown on what was Australia plus in the asia pacific and instead we get the 5th repeat of the news. Also i don't see why the Goodes Friday game is a good idea. It coincides with the Sydney racing carnival and the Sydney show so accomodation is bloody near impossible to get in Sydney let alone anywhere near the toy ground. And forget cheap flights. That and the brisbane ground in peak season and you wonder who the AFL are working for because it aint us fans. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

i dont know what point diff is and why the bloody hell it matters. All i know is that Melbourne get last years grand finalists twice as well as the first placed team.
That is much harder than us _________________ Ohhh, the Premiership's a cakewalk ....... |

it only a hard draw if the teams you play twice are better than you. i think you guys are referring to 2011 where we had the draw from hell.
The draw is something for teams of the fringe to worry about. Not the elite teams. Assuming we are a top team, we'll split the 8 or so games we have with the other elite teams and we'll beat everyone else (maybe dropping one or 3). That is a 16-18 win season, and we'll be well placed going into the finals. _________________ Ohhh, the Premiership's a cakewalk ....... |
