More chance of a St Kilda v GWS Grand Final than the AFL coming up with a fair/equitable draw that isn't influenced by $ and TV ratings. But we all know that.

Ports draw is pretty good, Port plays 14 of its games on Saturday in 2013. Meets only two of this year's finalists twice, Adelaide and Geelong

From a selfish point im pretty happy with Essendon's draw, should be able to get to atleast 10-11 games this year, time to start booking flights

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.

Adelaide play only 1 finalist from this year in the first 8 weeks, thats Hawthorn (at Home). Another "soft" draw?

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.

well, if our draw is soft in the first 8 weeks, port should finish top 4.

On the contrary Boon i hate it.....will spend $400 to see a half a dozen games max.

Its never going to appease everyone though. What will be important is us posting some wins, which for the first time in a couple of seasons, ill travel to AAMI with some optimism.
