2013 AFL fixture - (to be released morning of Wed 31/10/12)

[saintal]

St Kilda will double up against Sydney, Fremantle, Richmond, Carlton and Gold Coast. So not too bad there.

7 trips interstate (if you include NZ) by the looks of it, with one here in Adelaide.

A lot of twilight games. 3 friday nights.

First trip to Kardinia Park for quite a while (a decade?). A night fixture.

[the joker]

Carlton finish out the 8 And still get blockbuster Friday night games. When you finish out the 8 you should get the more unwanted games

[Squids]

Its called bringing the big crowds in.

I think 2004 was the last time you guys had to play at Cat Park.

The first four weeks blow (three six day breaks in a row and playing four likely top eight teams) but apart from that not a bad draw for the Catters. Only one trip to WA for a change you bewdy. Be nice to get some revenge on those Freo ****.

Pretty happy with Lions draw.
Only play Geelong (who should be on the slide) and North Melbourne (who knows how they'll go) out of this year's top top 8 twice.
Great start and finish to year, but run of doom in the middle with matches against:
Sydney (SCG)
West Coast (G)
Essendon (ES)
Carlton (G)
Collingwood (G) our only Friday night match
Fremantle (PS)
Geelong (G)
Hawthorn (AS)

Eek!

The afl knows that the blues are a team that rate well.

[Squids]

Do not like the first 5 weeks for Carlton

Richmond - ok easy win
Collingwood - 50/50
Geelong - 50/50
West Coast - at subi
Crows - 50/50

That's a long time between drinks for the Saints.
What's the longest run of not playing at the Cattery REB?

What's the longest run of not playing at the Cattery REB?

Would have thought sides like Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton wouldnt have made the trip down to skilled in a few years.

I was at the Bombers last game at the Cattery, was in 93. We led by a couple of goals at 1/2 Time and lost by about 6 goals. We went on to win the flag though
Used to love going down there to watch and would be more than happy for us to play there again.

Wouldn't have thought Saturday afternoon games were such a good idea for Port who struggle with crowd numbers. Now you have to compete against people who work, amateur footy, all other Saturday sports, etc.

On a personal note I'm happy cos Geelong are in town twice for the season so I get to go to 2 games.

I think Saturday afternoons are better than Sunday afternoons, personally. Junior footy is mostly Sundays in comps around town so Sunday games exclude parents and kids from coming to games, Saturdays just leaves the still active amateur players out of the crowd.

Very happy with our home game time slots.

Junior footy starts early on a Sunday morning and is often all over by 3.00 pm and amateur/country footy is playing from 12-5 in the afternoon, pretty much the same time as the Power would be playing. You also have the SANFL being played on a Saturday afternoon aswell.

I know that there's alot more people involved in amateur, country and SANFL footy (players, umpires, support staff/volunteers, supporters) than junior footy on a Sunday morning. With junior footy on a Sunday morning it gives people the option to go to an AFL game in the afternoon if they choose while people involved in amateur/country footy and SANFL (alot of Magpie people are Power people too) dont have that option as they already have commitments to playing, coaching, helping out at there local club.

I know blokes I play footy with that are Crows/Power supporters and also supporters of interstate clubs miss out on going to Saturday afternoon AFL games but do go to games on Sunday afternoon. I think it would be the same at every amateur/country league club.

The ground doesn't hold enough therefore not as much money to be made

Can't recall the last Carlton or Essendon game. Last Collingwood match was in 99 and that was an absolute shocker between two struggling teams.

Reckon Carlton's last game there was around 97/98
We havn't been there since 93

Pretty happy with the Eagles draw this time around.

[brod]

Hawks wouldnt want to have a slow start to the season again....first seven games against the 2012 Top 8

[The Sleeping Giant]

Excellent draw for Sydney. Only play teams that finished below us in 2012.
