We can’t complain about an incredibly tough start for once (although all tough for us). Richmond, Melbourne, Essendon**, Gold Coast, Port and Pies in first 7 rounds (along with Sydney).


Yeah agree all the games look quite tough especially the 1st half . All the teams we play have strengthen through trading and will be a different proposition, not so easy to budge.
Lucky to win 1 or 2 games and the second half not much better, if we can end up with 7 or 8 wins we'll be doing well.
Probably end bottom 3 , can only see the lions and maybe Suns if they have a raft of injuries again being in our company.

I think we should be able to win a few in the first 6 weeks.... a chance to build momentum

Tell me how we are underperforming? Very interested in how you're going to spin this.

Take note that we've removed 28 players from the worst list in the competition when you respond.


9 sunday arvo games is the graveyard shift for poor performing clubs...the afl have rubber stamped it

Yeah it's not that much better than last year.

Night blockbuster against GC? please.

Two Melbourne night games against the Cats and Hawks in Rounds 19 and 22 when our hopes have probably already been dashed and there's no atmosphere?
Lame. Lame. Lame.

The AFL enjoyed spanking us last year, and they're enjoying it again.
We are definitely marked down in texta in the 'underperforming' list.

I work Saturdays so Sundays are my only chance of attending games. I prefer to use vline trains instead of driving the 400km round trip.
The 1.10pm games were the perfect time for me, the games finished about 3.45ish, a couple of brews post game then catch the 5.19 train home.
All the 3.20 start games blow that plan out of the water, because if I use public transport I can't get home.

So for me at least, the Draw sucks.

There might be a few opportunities to leave at 1/2 time and still get the 5:19... :lol:
