So let me get this straight, they poach one of our better players, lowball us on the way through, taunt like children on social media......
And now we are supposed to generate interest in their season for them....
We should have asked specifically not to have this game, drink someone else's dregs you wallowing heap of $h!t of a club. |

We will play the following twice:
Essendon ( finished 7th)
Richmond (finished 8th)
Carlton ( finished 13th)
Which other two teams will be play twice?
I think it will be:
Brisbane (so we can BOO beams in melbourne)
Geelong |

shouldn't we be playing the mid-tier teams twice given where we finished? _________________ Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle. |

Yep, should be the sides finishing 7-12 (Essendon, Richmond, WCE, Crows, GCS) which doesn't necessarily make it any easier given our performances against those sides this year. That should also tick off 3 interstate games, Brions round 1 makes 4. Assume 1 other, Sydney at ANZ? |

When does the ANZ Stadium arrangement finish? With the crowds of the last couple of years we could play the game at the SCG. |

Don't know, think it still may have a couple of seasons to run. How many of our current squad have actually played on the SCG? A few of the trades like Young, Varcoe, Greenwood. Armstrong obviously. Crisp? Swan? Cloke? |

Apparently we only play Hawks, Sydney, Port and Freo once.
Suggests we only play the Cats and North, of the 2014 top teams, twice.
We could do some damage with such a draw, _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |

It's a relatively easy draw.
We play Hawthorn, Sydney and Port Adelaide once.
If we're any good, making the 8 shouldn't be a problem.
That's if we're any good. |

This year was the year of Merde, so of course we had a Merde draw, with the big boys up first and no palookas until round eleven.
By round eleven the palookas had discovered how to play football, so every no hoper did a Liberty Vallance on us, or came close. It was the first time since 2008 that we cosistently lost to the no hopers. Plus we could not beat Hawthorn Freo and the Moggies.
This one is fairly benign, with a mixture of contenders and palookas in the first half of the year. And for the first time in four years, we get to play a palooka, Melbourne, twice. |
