Fairness above excuses.

And as for teams not being ready for the H&A season, using your own reasoning, if they're good enough, they'll just do fine.

THEY LIKE TO SEND UP!!!!!!!!

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Reality above fairness.

Its not even about fairness. The draw isn't ideal, but its fair enough to get by. If you're good enough you'll make it.

I must be the only person in Melb that prefers Sunday games. Friday nights are a pain and always clash with other functions. Saturday I sleep in and rest up after a long hard week. Sundays are perfect .. annoyed we don't have any in Melb in the 2nd half of year.

Lots of us have children playing junior football, always on a Sunday.

RWO = Soft.

Might be alil easier to change our mind if we knew that RWO would turn up. (feel free to use this as ammo for them )

If you are a supporter who travels to games from the Albury/Wodonga region this draw is an absolute shocker. The last train home is around 6pm. To see any of the night games you need to catch a midday train and would need to stay overnight (OK if you have somewhere free to stay but otherwise too expensive especially on a regular basis).

So, if you're a country member in 2009 you would get to see 3 home 'day' games (Round 15, 16 & 21). If you're prepared to pay for the day 'away' games you would see another 3 games.

This doesn't concern me directly as I live in Melbourne. But my Dad lives in the North East and travels down for each home game. He can stay with me but the many people that travel down with him may not be as fortunate. He's spoken with a number of his friends already and they're not happy. Looks like the club will lose a number of members because of this.

You can see the team is getting close to going gangbusters as all the pieces come together.

I was thinking that 2010 was a realistic timeline, with the second half of next year a possibility.

However, after seeing the draw, it seems that the second half of next season looks like being a lot of fun for all of us..
