Judd v Eagles in Perth, round seven

Effes, snagging all the headlines

From the article:

The Perth road trip is understood to be one of just four interstate matches the Blues will play next year.




4 interstate trips?




About bloody time.

Carlton are the new Collingwood....

Moderators!

Unacceptable language!

Wash this poster's mouth out with soap.

I can guarantee that means 2x Perth and 2x Adelaide, or 2x Perth 1x Adelaide 1x Brisbane.

Once again, we miss out in Sydney.

I'd love to be proved wrong.

KK havent we played games their at least the last two years in a row?

Well actually, I wouldn't bet on it being 1 Brisbane. The blue's for a long time have only come here every second year - last year we played the roo's on the coast which gave us two goes (3 when you count the pre-season too). I wouldn't bet on Brisbane lions getting a god this year, the Roo's may however.

Yes, and 2 Perth trips each year for the last 3 or four, from memory. There's a huge Sydney fan base up here. A regular presence would see that being translated into memberships, especially with exciting times ahead.

It's also an important place to get a good regular presence, as currently the Filth and the Scum play every season up here. And don't get me started on the Ducks.

When will the full draw be leaked/released?

Eagles game is a Friday night game. Easy viewing for all.

Also mentioned we will play Collingwood and Essendon* early in the year, but nothing new there.

18 games in Melbourne - good times!!!

FRIDAY!

Seriously.

Or, actually, we might see the draw, or highlights of it, on TC on Thursday evening if our usual contributors pop in for a chat.

Make no mistake, getting Judd has made us the marquee team for FTA TV. 3.20 and JK is looking better every day.

Am I mistaken or did we play the SCG in 2007.
I hope we miss out on Freo to be honest.
4 games hopefully means we arent the bunnies that play the Roos at Carrara. That is a waste of time.

The extent of our recovery will partly be measured by how many Friday night games we're allocated. Anymore than four and we're obviously back in favour with the broadcasters.

4 interstate games?

Holy crap! When was the last time THAT happened to us??????

It'd have to be Perth twice and Adelaide twice. Sydney and brisbane to play us once each down here.

I can live with that for 2008, but 2 Adelaide and 2 Perth matches each and every year at the expense of Sydney (and Brisbane) fans is shithouse.

We probably wont play the dockers away in 2008. It could be 1x Perth, 2x Adelaide, 1x Sydney.

The Club requests each year to play two games in Perth for the Perth-based Carlton supporters, so unless the request has changed (which is possible, given the new administration) expect 2 games in Perth again.

I'm not too fussed how it pans out.... but I do hope that the club gets another game in Sydney next year. There's a good support base there, and they missed out for quite a few seasons. Maybe we could only go to Adelaide once to play the Crows?

As for Brisbane??? Well, I'm not sure that Verbs, Blue Dog, House, and I have recovered from watching the 117 (or whatever it was) point loss in the final Pagan game. We probably don't deserve another one up here next year

Besides... I'll get my fill. I think I'll come down to watch Judd's first game against Eddie's mob. Go BLUEBOYS!!!

KK - stop being such a tight arse and pay the $49 each way to come to melbourne a few times each year -

Can someone explain how a Thursday twighlight game works in the first round? It isn't a public holiday, is it????

I'll be heading down a few times next year. I'm getting a chubby thinking about watching Judd tear the Pies a new one.

It's not a matter of tight-arsedness.....(although I am one at times )
