are the pies playing the lions at the gabba? the pies will be playing in sydney next year (at telstra stadium) but i hadnt heard about brissy although qld woods fans must be due for a visit. only other thing i know about the draw is richmond round 1, dons as usual on anzac day and for the first time, the final 7 rounds of the season will not be a replica of the first 7 rounds of the season.

I can't wait to find out when we play in Sydney and Brisbane so I can start organising my annual leave! I've never seen our boys play in QLD and have only seen us play in Sydney once - and considering I ran out on the ground and patted Greg Phillips on the back - I guess it was more than just a few years ago!!!!!

Damn, how many weeks until season 2003?!?! I can't wait!

GO PIES!

Northern Pie And I heard a rumour that the boys will be coming to QLD in April next year??? Can anyone confirm this????

If your not bleeding Black and White, you don't truly support Collingwood!!!!!

[Northern Pie]

Well considering they said that they would meet during foundation week in Round 19 then it tells me that they should be meeting up here around Easter...hopefully someone can confirm this.

If they are coming up the Northernarmy are looking to hold a weekend of festivities, so keep your eye out for the details!!!

In the "draft fixtures" the AFL put out a week or two ago, they had us playing the Lions at the Gabba on Easter Thursday night.
We're just waiting for it to be confirmed so we can book the flights and accommodation. Time for revenge.

HAVE I FOLLOWED THE PIES ALL MY LIFE ? NO, NOT YET.

reasonable draw. thursday night in brissy will mean flying out wednesday after a saturday game - recovery sunday, giving us only really a day and a half to prepare for revenge on the lions. seems an awful lot of games at colonial.

I'm pretty happy with the draw. Most teams we play twice are shit, and by playing Brisbane twice we get double the chance at revenge. Also i'm stoke we're playing at the Gabba cos alot of my close QLD mates have been waiting for this for a long time. Great to see we don't have to travel to Perth at all, and the trip to Sydney shouldn't prove too difficult. Thumbs up to a pretty good draw.

NO-ONE CAN PREDICT TO WHAT HEIGHTS YOU CAN SOAR PIEBOYS... NOT EVEN YOU WILL KNOW UNLESS YOU SPREAD YOUR WINGS(AND WE DID).

and collingwood V carlton week one of pre season comp. beautiful

[MargOZ]

Does anyone know where to find the pre-season draw?

Thanks,
Marg

[ramjet21]

not sure if its available in full marg. couldnt find it either. just read on afl's site that carlon/pies will play first up in their group of 4. no mention of the other 2 sides yet.

I agree, too many night games, 14 in total. Major pain in the arse as a country supporter but I'll still get to them.

There are on 7 games at the Telstra Dome, four of them our home games which is the same as this year.

We're the only team in the league that will play the who day ranges, from Thursday NIght, through to monday afternoon.

Whatever happened to playing 6 games on a Saturday!!!!!!!! Bring back the VFL!!!!!!!!!!

Apart from that it's a good draw.

Far too many night games....when we are on the road,we will have to depend on ABC radio or the local????TV repeater.
God dont the AFL look at the supporters any more?????????????/
