Swans & Gaints lose stand alone first round game and other 2013 fixture discussion

[erica]

I bloody hate Friday nights. Now we've got 2 of them. Not happy but i'll just have to grin and bear it I guess.

+1

[Triple B]

Round 23 being the last round is the floating round and if both teams make the 8 as expected, it'll most likely be a Sat arvo game? #lookingwaytoofarahead

If either us or Hawks are likely Minor Premiers it is a huge chance to be on Friday night, especially after all the belly aching around 7 day breaks this year.

Sounds like a 3rd Friday night game will go down real well in RWOland....lol

I know some don't like ANZ, but being at home (as in Sydney) for Rd 23, against a quality opponent which proved a good lead in to finals this year plus getting a practice run at ANZ where hopefully we will be playing a final or two makes that just about the best possible scenario, imo. If we must play our contracted matches at ANZ, it's a good time to do it...

Fair point.

Not for everyone they're not.

Clubs ask for them in their preferences. They are the big games, they give the club heaps in tv and other advertising. People's personal circumstances should not matter.

LOVE the Friday night games. Good for the club, the fans, the profile and the national audience.

As for the 4 games above, we'll win at least 3 of them. It'd be nice to have a year without having to go to Geelong though, so I'm hoping the game up here is the only time we play them.

So far we know:

Hawthorn vs Sydney : MCG
Sydney vs Hawthorn: ANZ
Sydney vs Geelong : SCG
Sydney vs Carlton : SCG

and St Kilda Anzac Day in NZ. I wonder if "karma" will pay us back for all the nasty sheep jokes on this site recently.

It will be a great farewell to Homebush too. Maybe

Haha, good point! Regardless of whether he's cracked the team or not, for his own safety, Lamb should stay in Sydney that weekend.

Friday nights might be great for the club and as I've said I'll grin and bear it because of it but they're are a bloody pain in the arse for me to get to and I'm not the only one I can tell you.

Yep we'll have to make sure we leave the Ugg boots at home for that trip.

Might need to be a couple of "sickies" coming up Al?
