2014 Fixture (released 31/10) - predictions/discussion..

[gadj1976]

Most of us by now have had a chance to look over the 2014 fixture. So I thought this was an opportune time to continue discussion. What do you like about your teams draw, what don't you like?

From a Crows perspective I think it's a good draw, we don't play any of the 2013 top 4 twice. Further more we only play 1 of the top 6 twice, that being the Power. From a marketing point of view I'm disappointed that we miss out on playing Carlton and Essendon in Adelaide.

Umm, we beat Richmond and Port once each last year and we play the top 8 12 times in total next season. That equates to 10 losses this season. So unless we improve greatly or the opposition drop away, we've got our work cut out.

Given this news, I'll be putting money on us not making the finals.

Round one will break the record for lowest ever first round attendance, shocking draw.

We beat Port twice.

The opening about 8 games are all winnable. Nowhere as difficult as this years first 5 or so rounds. Need to improve against the top 4 to be competitive. Pretty happy with our draw overall

yep we did, point being?

I'm not for one sec having a go at our draw, I'm more pointing out that we couldn't beat anyone above us.

I like the Roos draw they can make the top 4 next year and make an impact in September.
