If the aim was to disappoint the greatest number of fans before the season starts, they’ve nailed it.

Return fixtures against Richmond, North, GWS, Geelong, Port & the Filth.

2 at Adelaide oval - yikes

One of them is against the Dockers and the other is against Port - who I think will slide next year and be an easier opponent than the Crows.

I think we are getting the royal colon treatment and the afl is going all in for a carlton, colon, fitzroy blockbuster finals series. I guess the incoming leadership has to have some good numbers early on in tenure to justify the delicious salary

Not a bad draw. Only thing I am disappointed with is no game on the Gold Coast, which I usually go to.
We only have to play 3 of this year's top 8 teams twice.
If I have read it correctly we only tavel interstate once in the last 7 rounds.

They won every single home game last season except for against Melbourne. So the AFL gives Carlton the hardest possible opening match. Nice scheduling.

How many wins do you expect in the first 4 games? If your answer if 3 or higher, then it's a pretty good first month imo.

Very good fixture for a team that made the prelim. May looks like a tricky month (Pies, Dees, Swans, Suns, Port), but I think the club would be delighted with that.

I don't care who we play. If we are good enough we will win. Its the 5 day breaks that worry me more and we only have 1.

I reckon it's decent enough. I tried to guess our double ups and the only one I got right was Collingwood. Norf twice is a bit of a surprise? Last three are Hawks/WC/Saints which is alright as you'd expect at least two of those to be done for the season. One trip to Qld is good, but have to play Sydney in Sydney again. The Thurs/Fri night games in Melbourne are a bit of a pain for us with kids/school/sports but we'll deal.

Two byes. I'm not a fan of byes. They're never good.

Glad we've got Good Friday again Our play twice set is very favourable We've got the Sunday night King's Bday Eve match against the Bombers again. Wonder if they're trying to make that a lock?

1 home game in the first 5 weeks (which includes a bye) is all I can fault...

The dumb faaarks have finally worked out that the Blues going well means the AFL booms . Better late than never i suppose . The penny has finally dropped .
