I'd rather it at freakin Etihad!

feels like we just can't beat you over there

I'm happy we haven't drawn Port at our NT games.

They pretty much have the HGA over there.

I read your message wrong. I thought you said why the flower do you play us at Etihad :P Yeah kinda rough but Carlton are coming to AO this year, and they have avoided it the last two years! Suppose you win some and lose some (Like you guys got Melbourne at Etihad twice in 2016)

re Carlton fixture:

"WE SAY: Couldn't ask to a better start to the season. The Blues don't have to leave Melbourne until round five and have 16 games in Victoria. Two trips to Perth is a concern, but is offset by having a month straight of games at the MCG from rounds 14-17. The Blues will want to get their wins early before a tough run into the finals featuring the Eagles, Hawks and Swans. - Lee Gaskin"

Wow! TWO (count 'em) trips to Perth!
It's the freaking end of the world!  ;)

Always makes me laugh when I see this sort of sh*t from over east administrators or commentators ... what do you think non-Victorian based clubs do every other week??!  ::)    ;)

7 years in a row I think now we haven't played Carlton in Adelaide ::)

Oh well that's what you get when you are in a state with only 2 AFL teams  :P

[Nige]

Punished hard with no Friday night games. Pretty salty about it. Despite our lack of success we're still drawing fairly good numbers.

It's the same 3 as usual

Port GC just having theirs earlier as that's when they return from China

Probs couldn't play in China to have round 12 bye so had to make the slight tweak
