Why is everyone so upset? We play Carlton twice. When do they ever beat us??

Probably the last time that they would reliably beat us was back in the 90’s.

I’d love the wheels to fall off for Carlton, but it feel like a small to zero chance. After the fixture I think we may be in that same group as them at the end of the year. Hence my dismay at them getting the boost and us getting the smack two years running.

North have some quality and I’d expect they get better, but not by enough to put the wind up the likes of us or Carlton. The Eagles will continue to be pure rubbish.

But Carlton are also only one season ending injury to Cripps or Curnow away from the bottom 4.

I realise everyone has a preference as far as days and time slots go. I work conventional hours, so I can attend all games in Melbourne if I choose to. That said, the fixture doesn’t suit me for the most part.
I’m glad we’ve avoided 3:20 games on Sunday, but there is a ridiculous number of night games.

I love the lack of Saturday afternoons, as I umpire footy the only one we play is before our season begins, perfect!

So why do Blues who finished above us get double ups against Weagles and Kangas?

I guess the Fixture was put together just before half time in the Elimination Final between the Lions and Blues

Indeed it has, and don't forget 2 flags against 5 spoons

Also, we are currently 4 ahead in the head to head clashes.

Geelong advertiser clearly not happy with the Geelong draw - article today discussing whether we should have to play there.

The thing to remember about the Geelong Advertiser is that they are morons.

Saturday night games are the best. Go to the local footy then roll on into the City for a pregame session.

Spot on. Hate saturday arvo games.

I thought I read recently they either want or will be getting everyone down there over a few years, so Essendon this year, Carlton next, Collingwood year after etc.

 

[Knoxy]

We'd want to be on the ball right from the word go - that's a tough first 6 weeks.

Just like last season. Aren't we supposed to get an easier draw if we miss finals?

We used to play there in the 90s.
One year, they locked the gates because the ground was full.
Only problem was that the last train from Melbourne had not arrived.
When it did, hundreds of Pies fans streamed down from South Geelong station and broke the gates down.

This is a standard Collingwood draw. Lots of blockbusters in prime time.

The alternative is to follow North.
